Author: Manchester United had their entire season riding on the line in this match against West Ham at Old Trafford on Tuesday.
This was one of those matches if the Red Devils lost you can surely stick a fork in their season and their chances of a four peat.
Man U came away with a hard fought 3-0 win over West Ham.
Wayne Rooney hit for the daily double.
Both of Rooney’s goals were a thing of beauty. The Wayne man nailed a point blank header in the 38th minute. A great cross into the goal area by Antonio Valencia set up this goal.
The Rooney man and Valencia teamed up again in the 55th minute for a repeat performance. Valencia fired another perfect ball into the goalmouth. Rooney nailed the close range header.
Michael Owens goal in the 80th minute was the icing on the cake for Man U.
Paul Scholes set up Owen’s goal with a great through ball.
The only bad news is that Brasilian Anderson wrenched his knee. We don’t know the seriousness of the injury. After an MRI Man U will find out how bad it really is.
Man U is almost unbeatable at home yet when the Red Devils hit the road they can’t win to save their lives.
Man U jumped out to an early 1-0 against Everton. Then the unthinkable happened the Toffees put the screws to the Red Devils by scoring the next three goals to win 3-1.
This was the first time Man U lost a match after they scored first.
The Red Devils are 12-1-1 at home and 7-2-5 on the road.
Man U cut Chelsea’s lead to one point.
Chelsea has 61 points. The Red Devils have 60. My guys Arsenal have 55.
Both Chelsea and the Gunners have huge encounters coming up on Saturday and Sunday.
The Blues battle Man City at home in Stamford Bridge on Saturday.
Arsenal takes an all important road trip to Britannia Stadium to take on Stoke City on Sunday.
We have to win this sucker.
Arsenal cannot afford a slip up.
Three points are a must.
The title is in sight for Arsenal.
Six points are not that big of a difference.
All we have to do hold serve at home and win sixty percent of our matches on the road.
With ten matches left after Sunday the Blues will surely lose at two maybe three, more matches.

Anderson’s injury will not cause problem for Sir Alex since he rarely plays and may be is near the exit door as well for the next transfer market
Yes this right but still Anderson may be needed down the road. I thought he went to Brasil. I guess not.

Now with Utd apparently holding steady let’s see if Chelsea will slip or can avoid a slip up ?
The Premiership could get mighty interesting were that to happen !
Man U is holding their own at home but on the road they stink big time. Arsenal should pick up a win against Stoke City on Sunday but anything is possible. The Blues have a battle on their hands against City. The only saving grace is this baby is at Stamford Bridge.
