    I think Fergie should bring on Park and Nani on after half time, and possibly take giggs off.

    If Chelsea win at Stamford Bridge next week, it could all come down to nerves in the last two games. God only knows how much pressure you'd be under with two games remaining and both teams being split by only goal difference.

    United have to go for the win against Chelsea on Saturday, I can't wait for the game but I know I'll be shaking from nerves whilst watching!

    Worst thing is, Chelsea vs Man Utd, the most important Premier League game of the year, is sandwiched in the middle of the two biggest Champions League games of the year. It's all happening!

    If it wasnt for Ferguson i would actually enjoy watching Utd.... (did i say that?) He's just such a red-faced tit.

    Thing is, he the most ungracious loser on the planet and when it all goes wrong he blames everyone but himself. .

    So chelsea won, that makes things rather interesting and to be honest i'm glad they did, it makes the end of the season much more interesting since it could go down to the last match of the season.

    It's all wide open now!!! Going right down to the wire. I really thought United were going to draw today, what a great game it was though - very entertaining.

    The remaining fixtures should be fantastic, all to play for. Man Utd vs West Ham and Newcastle vs Chelsea next weekend, can't wait!

    *EDIT* Has anybody noticed my predictions? I predicted Man U to beat Arsenal, 2-1. Predicted Man Utd to draw against Blackburn - they did. I predicted Man Utd to lose 2-1 to Chelsea, spot on!

    For the last two fixtures, I predicted Utd to come back strong and win convincingly - here's hoping!

    I hope you are correct.

    I was quite depressed after todays game, we almost had a draw at the end with those two off the line. Not too sure why Fergie played a weakened team against Chelsea, suppose he had one eye on Tueday. If we played our strongest team I think we could have got something.

    I hope we go guns blazing against Barcelona, should be good match. Any ideas what the score might be?

    Re: With just 5 games remaining, who will be crowned Barclays Premier League champion

    It's so hard to judge now. The Man Utd squad is essentially very young. Some might argue that we've got the experience of Giggs and Scholes but through lack of recent appearances, they're both now 'fringe' players in my opinion and not intergral to the team.

    In the past decade, Man Utd were reknowned from jumping back from defeats - usually with Keane taking things by the scruff of the neck. Can the likes of Carrick, Hargraeves, Anderson bounce back in a similar way? It's a tough one, hard to call.

    It's a big ask against Barca now, but if Vidic and Rooney return, and Fergie picks a very attacking side, I think we can win. Barca will score, but with their defence, I can see Utd scoring more. I'm gonna go for a high-scoring prediction of 4-2 to Man Utd. *fingers crossed*

    Going back to the Chelsea match yesterday, how poor is Nani right now? He's got good control, two good feet, a great shot and decent body strength...but, his decision making is abysmal! Rarely does he do the right thing and his mentality of shoot on sight is infuriating. He'll need to improve rapidly or he'll be moving on - he drives his fellow players, and manager, up the wall.

    Decided not to watch SAF and Quieroz yesterday then after the penatly decision?
    Even Andy (Man-yoo) Gray had to conceed that the referee got it SPOT ON.
    Both of them couldnt believe it was given. About time one was, it was the first pen against Man-Yoo THIS SEASON..............couldnt have come at a better time either.


    The most amusing thing is that only 2 weeks ago Ferguson was saying it would all be wrapped by now.
    Far from it seems.
    I would rather Chelski win the PL and Barca win the CL. Lets see who Ferguson blames then.

    At least Arsenal arent the only team to throw away a 5 point lead!

    Alex Fergeson is so funny in the interviews after games when they loose, could it never be that they wern't the best team on the day?

    Looking at the fixtures you's have to fancy both Chelsea and Man U to win thier 2 remaining games and for Man U to win on goal difference.

    Champions league still way open though, any of the 4 could win.
    I'm still finding it fasinating even though Arsneal are out if it.

    Mathematically Arsenal can stil win the league if they win their last 3 remaining games, and Chelsea and Man Utd lose one, and draw one. Highly unlikely but you never know
