Sigh... Even after Liverpool's hard fought 3-0 win over West Ham, it could all be over by next week, the next time Liverpool's Steven Gerrard touches the ball for a kick-off at West Brom. Manchester United take on Man Citeh in the Manchester derby later tonight, with Rafa and the fellow Reds hoping for at least a draw from Man Citeh. However, that is really unlikely in my opinion. Robinho, Shaun Wright-Phillips are really the only threats from Citeh. Their weak and inconsistent defence cannot possibly hold up to Cristiano and gang. But what's wrong with hoping, yeah?
Then the Red Devils face Wigan at the JJB Stadium. Why does Man Utd like always face Wigan in their title run-ins? It's like, ex-Man Utd defender and former defender of Alex Ferguson, Steve Bruce, will always lie down and die for Man Utd to pick three points of 'em. No fight at all. Remember last year? So a draw is possible if Wigan does fight, but they have nothing to fight for now... Their mid-table and safe. Argh. Man Utd will steamroll over 'em.
And the last game that might see Man Utd retain the title even before the last game against 'Boro is Arsenal. Before the CL semis, I thought, Arsenal would have a chance. Remember Samir Nasri in the reverse fixture this season at the Emirates? Yeah. C'mon Arsene! But after seeing the CL semis, I'm doubtful. And only a draw might be Arsenal's most realistic target at Old Trafford. Argh!
So I guess it's title no. 18 for Fergie's gang. :(
