Hey I'm just saying he deserves a little credit from Utd. Just like we would have had to thank Roque Santa Cruz.

Correction, things could have been different. But then again if I were a Brazilian transvestite prostitute things could have been different too.

I somehow doubt we'd see the side simply give up in the last 10 minutes if they knew the title was still possible.

Should we just ignore the fact that against the big 4, United won 4, drew 1 and lost 1?

Not at all, but we should note that not a single one of those games saw Utd piss over anyone, dominate the game from start to finish, or do any of the things we're so used to having rammed down our throats by the media. Good team, good football, not some mythical xi cut from God's special cloth.

As shown above, it's more a case of Chelsea being in the title race at all because of their consistent ability to beat (not pound, though) the weaker teams, while struggling against the tougher opposition.

Quite, but that doesn't change what the title MIGHT have been decided on, which should be changed for the future. And obviously it wouldn't have been a big deal facing Chelsea in a playoff, considering such a convincing record against the top 4.
