Nice, Unexpected Comeback

I gotta say, I never expected this.

Manchester United was up 8 points, and they were playing Wigan and Everton, teams they traditionally beat easily.
Well, I don't have a perfect idea of why they dropped points to Everton, but, anyway, United sure screwed themselves!

And, you know, this year, Ferguson's team has been absolutely pathetic against good international teams: Benfica, Basel, Ajax and Athletic Bilbao.
But the Premier League is different. United gets these titles even when they're not the best team in the league.

However, United clearly is a very shitty team this season. They can't win many games that they play fairly.
Of course, they should win the remaining games, against Swansea and Sunderland. No matter what the cost.
But the big question is, what if Manchester City beats Newcastle?
(They should beat QPR, at home, on the last matchday, too, if they're that good. And Manchester City 's getting two wins in the last two matches means United has to get at least two 5-0 wins, or something that amounts to being at least ten goals better than their opponents. This is not something that Man. U. cannot arrange, I'm sure, but what if City gets a 4-0 win, or something, in one of their two matches?)

What I'm saying is, basically, that Manchester City should win this title, but the game against Newcastle is not going to be easy.
Manchester United is probably going to try to provide additional incentives for Newcastle to try their best to not lose that game, I believe. Not that Newcastle doesn't want to win, but... that's the way it works sometimes in football.

As for the match today, in itself, all that can be said is that Man. U. was just pathetic. They only had one chance, in minute 2. After that, it was all City, even when United needed to score.

Kompany's goal was lucky, unexpected and surprising. Bad marking from Smalling left the powerful City player free to head in the ball from just 5 meters away, in first-half injury time. It was a disappointing goal for Man. U. to concede. But then the team was disappointing throughout the entire course of this match.

And I'm sure all United fans would agree, after seeing this one, that making one single goal worth 2 extra points is unfair.
