Bore Draw at St. James's Park

For the first time in maybe 5 years I actually changed the channel on a Manchester United game, We were poor and I really was not expecting us to score in the last 5 minutes as usual. But credit must go to , Newcastle, they never gave up on the ball and played one hell of a game even though they have very little to play for. A draw was a fair result, but really 0-0 was unjust because played very offensive football as did Newcastle.

Nani endured a frustrating night

There were close to no chances for the forwards apart from Chica's shot in the 10th minute and Nani's free kick everything else was off target because of Newcastle's great defensive performance. Our defense had a good game and kept their forwards quiet all the game and when they did get a good chance VDS was there to save the ball. The frustrating evening ended with Hernandez being brought down in the box, but the call went against him and was booked for diving. It looked like a clear penalty to SAF. 

 On a positive note, the second placed team in the premier league, Arsenal, also drew in a thrilling match at White Hart Lane. But, now Manchester have new rivals for the tittle Chelsea, but United players have told fans not to dwell on the other teams and concentrate on their own performances.

At the end of the day all that matters is the team that is 1st

There are 5 games left in the season for United, Chelsea and Arsenal. The last games favor Chelsea and Arsenal rather than United. But all we need to win the tittle is 3 wins and a draw.
