An Update on Man U and Arsenal

In the Man U, West Ham clash, it was a game that looked as if neither side would be able to come away with three points. Just after an hour of play, Ryan Giggs was able to put away a nice shot past West Ham keeper, Robert Green. However, Giggs' shot was not the only one from Ferguson's side. The 20 total shots (with a pathetic 3 on target) cam from Red Devils veteran, Paul Scholes as well as midfield sensation, Cristiano Ronaldo. All in all, probably not the most exciting game to watch, but for Man U and their fans alike, an excellent result on the day; 3 points to go 2 points clear ahead of Rivals Liverpool. These two rivals will be meeting at Old Trafford on March 14th - definitely a game to be watched!

Also today Arsenal battled it out at White Heart Lane against Tottenham. In a first half that ended sorely for Arsenal, with a red card handed out by referee Mike Dean to midfielder Eboue, Arsenal was forced to hold off Tottenham for another 45 minutes. Although Tottenham may have had the upper hand in this match with the extra man, they were unable to capitalize on any chances just as Arsenal was reduced to few and futile chances. With these games completed, the standings are still not finalized in any way.

Man U - 56 points
Liverpool - 54 points
Aston Villa - 51 points
Chelsea - 49 points
Arsenal - 44 points

What will happen of Chelsea?

For those of you who know, yesterday Chelsea (2nd in the EPL was only able to gain one point in their home match against West Ham United (16th in the EPL). The game ended in a 1-1 draw with Anelka scoring for Chelsea and Bellamy for West Ham.
To Chelsea's standards, yesterday's game was definitely a poor effort. This can be seen through Scolari's concern he expressed after the game. With their 4th tie this season, Chelsea has officially dropped 14 points in home games. What is to be blamed for their home performance? Is it the coaching? the players? or maybe the fans? Whatever it happens to be, Scolari and his team better figure it out soon before the get knocked out of the title race.
While being one point behind league leaders Liverpool and five points ahead of Manchester United, there is little room for error. For you Blue's fans, you better hope your team pulls it together real soon or you can say by-bye to another title.
