The Premiership- Is the title race really over?

Chels impressvie for 80 mins after shocking start. United in full flow, both teams seem egged on by each other. What was Wegner's reason's for not playing Henry I wonder?

He felt he hadn't recovered from playing two full games as lone striker and went for fresh legs in Adebayor and Van Persie who hadn't played mid week. Was surprised with the call but it wasn't the reason for the result. Both forwards looked very lively early on as did the team. Collectively the whole team's level dropped later on in the game I felt.

Or United just seteled after Arsenal's excellent start, after 20/25 minutes United were always on top. Rooney was imense. Very impressed with Vidic.

Lehman has really turned his Arsenal career around, there best player this season and pulled off a couple of fine saves yesterday.

I think the title race is still alive as next weekend Chelsea go to Bolton who have only lost once at home and that was to Utd. Chelsea could quite easily drop points there and Utd should win at Sunderland. That would mean the game would be down to 4or 5 points with Chelsea still to play Utd at Standford Bridge. Its not over yet but still think Chelsea will win it as Utd may drop points to Spurs.

Pressure will really be on Chelsea this weekend as Man Utd almost guaranteed win vs Sunderland which will cut lead to 4 points. Bolton is a very tough away game, especially towards the end of the season which Arsenal found out a few years ago.

almost being the key word there, eh?

There were over 72,000 in Old Trafford for the Sunderland game - isn't that a Premiership record?? Still saw a few empty seats at one corner which appeared to be a closed off area.

**feo123** · 15/04/2006, 11:30 AM

ya....another new record! as for the title....if chelski win today, they can seal the premiership as early as monday against everton! ragin!!!!

**sligoman** · 15/04/2006, 11:34 AM

In fairness did anyone other than the most devout United fans believe that Chelsea wouldn't win the league this year? United were never going to catch them no matter what sort of run they went on. Maybe if United had been able to play Chelsea around the start of April and been able to cheat them out of it, ala Campbell's 'elbow' on Ole Gunnar Soljskaer they might have done it, but thats the only way it would have happened

Ol�, Ol�, Ol�...

Think we'll send a few crates of Carlsberg to SB on Monday, to help them celebrate keeping the title away from that Scottish bloke again!!

Congrats to Chelsea from Anfield!!

With a 9 point, and 12-goal lead over second place, with only 9 more points available, Chelsea won the league following their win over Merseyside's second team.

Liverpool also claimed a CL spot following the Week 35 games. Preparations now begin in earnest for next season.

**Clifford** · 30/04/2006, 4:40 PM

Congrats to Chels, long may it continue. Best side by a country mile all told. Not lost at home under Jose in the league, sensational. Very comfortable against their closest "rivals" yesterday.

Hope the rest of us will eventually re group and be up there, but better Chelski's dirty money to win it than manusa's, imho of course.

Hail to the Champions.

**CollegeTillIDie** · 30/04/2006, 4:45 PM

One of the poorest Premierships ever ....

**Clifford** · 30/04/2006, 4:57 PM

No more poor, boring or different than the last ten or so where bleedin Arsenal and Man u were so far in front by Easter is wasn't funny (with odd exceptions of course). Great to have new contenders, imho of course.

Edit: Not forgetting of course the superb season Tottenham are having, hope it ends up in 4th for them. Also, admiring from afar the fact that Liverpool are re-building a squad and reduced the gap between themselves and Chels significantly. Add in the achievement of Boro, Wigan, Arse and West Ham in cups and it's been a decent season really, imho of course.

**renovater** · 30/04/2006, 6:04 PM

glad to say its over, and in style Chelsea showed there class over 36 games while crushing Man U 3-0 in style. this was the game that Man U were going to spoil the party all over after 4min.
they now have another new home record 18 win from 19 some fortress.
as for utd they will lick they wounds,but they were graious in defeat.
what about mourinho giving his medals to the suporters he sure underline that he is still the special one.
they even devided his coat as to have apart of him.
god bless Mourinho.

**Karlos** · 30/04/2006, 6:39 PM

Congrats to Chelsea on officially overtaking Spurs into 2nd spot in the london championship titles table (I knew there was a shining light in there somewhere!

).

Only 10 more to go to challenge top spot!
