Man Utd for the TITLE baby!

If you're wondering why I'm so excited I guess you missed the cracking game between Manchester United and Arsenal that happened last evening in the english premier league. It probably was the best game in all respects that the premier league has seen this season. It had all the ingredients for a cracker (a draw didn’t suit both teams for starters) and it lived upto the hype though most arsenal fans would disagree of the outcome eventually. If you’re wondering it was 2-1 to United and it more or less ensured that the Champions retain their title this year as well. I’m sure Chelsea fans don’t agree but that human nature – you can take hope away from humans else they would be a deprived race.

The game had on display high tempo attacking football of the best kind right through and in the end the better team won. This isn’t too say that Arsenal didn’t play well. Infact, they played fantastic but in the end I do believe it was Arsenal’s nerves considering their young side and more importantly United’s ‘conviction’ that swung it in the latter’s favour. Not to mention the fantastic curler that Owen Hargreaves shot to take us through. For ardent United fans like me this was extremely comforting considering we had been missing the consistency with which our team got goals with a curler when Beckham was around. While Ronaldo has displayed similar shots he is more loved for his wider ability and depth and more for dancing on the ball which puts opposition players in a tizzy.

Yesterday’s game has left me wanting more and I just can’t wait to see United go up against Barcelona and Chelsea. But wait I will have to and with a smile!
