Is that the title race over?

RooneyFor a few weeks now people have been saying the title race was over. I didnt think so – its not over till its over!!! However its almost certain now with United 5 points clear of Chelsea with 3 games to go. If we beat City next weekend and then Chelsea dont beat Arsenal the next day we are champions. I watched the match in the pub which had both games on at the same time (Everton v United, Chelsea v Bolton) – I was looking left and right to the different screens all the time! At half time it wasnt looking good with United 1-0 down (and not playing well) and Chelsea winning.

However it was a great performance in the 2nd half from United finishing the game 4-2 – also some help from their keeper which kick started the comeback and also the equaliser from ex-United player Philip Neville. There was a great goal from Rooney and also from Chris Eagles. (When Rooney scored he celebrated infront of the Everton fans jumping up and down and kissing the badge – bet that made him popular!!! He is a red now!! :) ) The United celebrations were brilliant – however Fergie still doesnt look right when he celebrates and started jumping about.

There is a great pic I have seen which sums it all up – the ball in the net and Philip Neville holding his head in his hands.

The Chelsea game finished 2-2. Thanks to Bolton and Philip Neville!!! When he scored the pub started singing a Neville song:

Philip Neville is a red, is a red, is a red
Philip Neville is a red, he hates scousers

At the end of the United match when we were counting down the clock Rooney started show-boating and showed some great ‘Joga Bonita’ skill:
