Blackburn v Manchester United Review

Before the match yesterday we had a chance to go back upto five points ahead of Chelsea, with only three matches remaining.
We had a bad record at Ewood Park- 1 win in 7 matches.
I thought that we could drop points yesterday, and we did. Throughout the season you couldnt say that the defence was at fault for a goal, but you could yesterday.
Santa Cruz gave Blackburn a first half lead when our defence 'fell asleep' and a last minute Tevez goal gave us an equaliser.
On monday Chelsea dropped two points at home to Wigan which was extremly fortunate for us because we would have only been one point ahead of Chelsea.
Next saturday we play Chelsea at Stamford Bridge and if we win then we basically have won the title, Chelsea would have to score tons of goals and United to loose the last two games for them to win it, we all know that Chelsea usually only score one or two goals.
Back to the match, 1st Half:
We started the match ok, we looked settled and we passed the ball around. Tevez wasted a fantastic chance to go 1-0 up but got it totally wrong. Up the other end there as a penalty shout for Blackburn.
21 minutes in Roque Santa Cruz scored for Blackburn, Morten Gamst Pedersen's throw led to a mix-up between Nemanja Vidic and Rio Ferdinand.
After the goal Blackburn were definetly growing in confidence, Bentley drew a fantastic save out of Kuszczak.
The second half and United were all over Blackburn, so much it was like Manchester United v Freidal. Freidal made a couple of world class saves and we had about four penalties turned down. The ref did have an awful game and we should have had atleast three penalties.
It was starting to look like it wasnt going to be our day but Tevez got a goal in the 88th minute.

If we can win at Stamford Bridge next saturday then we have basically won the Premier League.
