One Point Away From Tittle

Will be rested for this game.
Manchester United could become champions if we draw at Blackburn. Clearly we are favorites to win because when we played them October we won 7-1, with Berbatov scoring 5 goals. The Manager has already said he will place a strong team, so all the top players can be rested for the next game. This game would have been great for Manchester's striker Macheda, who is on loan in Italy, it would have been great because Macheda always plays very well at important times in the season. Blackburn are in a completely different position as they are only 3 points ahead of Blackpool with 2 games to go. I always liked Blackburn as a team, and I hope they do not get relegated, but that doesn't mean we should what Barcelona did, which was draw 1-1 on purpose so Levante could not get relegated. 
* In a completely different topic. Barcelona's holding midfielder Sergio Busquets could miss the final against United after calling Marcelo a "monkey".
Key Player for Blackburn


Blackburn played against West Ham last weekend. In a pivotal game for the relegation battle. A game that finished 1-1 a result that favors Blackburn more than West Ham. The has been talked about this week because Blackburn defender - Chris Samba - played one of the best defensive performances of the season. Unfortunately, I cannot comment too much because I did not see the game, but I watched the previous Blackburn game, and Samba's physical strength could be a problem for our strikers. So I am not expecting a 5-0 win with 5 headers. 
* Blackburn's last game of the season is against Wolves. A game being labeled " the most important in recent weeks". If Blackburn lose both games they could be relegated for the first time since the premier league started in the 1991/1992 season where they won.
* If United win, they will win their record 19th tittle.


 Coach Time

“We must approach the game the right way and play our strongest team. It’s always a difficult game and Blackburn are fighting [to stay up]." - Sir Alex. Clearly it will be a strong team. The three main changes I expect are: Van Der Sar being rested for the champions league final. Fletcher making his comeback, and Berbatov playing so Samba has a challenge. 
Blackburn need a draw. They will celebrate if they draw, because they will not be relegated. They will defend, defend with all they have. Putting all eleven players behind the ball and hope to hit us on the counter. We should play along. ATTACK, ATTACK, ATTACK. Leaving only Vidic, Carrick and Ferdinand in defense. In addition if we are winning by more than 3 goals we should take off Rooney, Valencia and Carrick to give them a well deserved rest. 



PREDICTED RESULT- All we need is a draw, but I believe the players are very focused and we should have too much class for a weak Blackburn team. 2-0. Which means we will be CHAMPIONS! * Goals from Rooney and Carrick. 

*Important to note. If we win, we will not celebrate with the trophy. That only happens on the last game of the season.
