I expected the win over Chelsea today but not by 4 goals! Vidic put us ahead early on but Phil Jones got the away side level when he put the ball into the back of his own net. From then on it was all us grabbing 3 more goals before half time through Hernandez, Hamsik & a John Terry og. We wrapped things up early in the second half with a trademark Nani strike..over to City.

This result was all down to one sensational performance from Spurs keeper Gomes. He made numerous saves and blocks to deny us and because of this we have now dropped 2 more points in the title race as Manchester City close in.

I felt fairly confident we could get the win that would see us through to the FA cup final for the first time in 5 years however it just didnt happen for us today. Jonny Evans was sent off after half an hour for conceding a penalty, one in which Van Persie missed leaving the scoreline at 0-0. We got some good chances during the match but could not convert them and it cost us eventually when with 15mins to play Van Persie got his chance and took it with venom! So thats our FA cup journey over now we have to focus on the Champions League on tuesday.

A fine response from my team following there FA cup disappointment 3 days earlier. Amazingly we were 3-0 up inside the opening 15mins of the game, Wayne Rooney grabbed the first then Vidic scored with a header & just 2mins later Marek Hamsik got our third with a scrappy finish in the 6 yard box. With 20mins to go Bruno somehow managed to put the ball into his own net & thats how it finished, what a win for us & now il look to rest some key players in the second leg to keep them fresh for the league.

Today we had our 2 centre backs to thank after our bad start. Demba Ba got the home side off to a great start but not long after Phil Jones headed in his first senior goal & the equaliser. Just before half time we went ahead again from a corner & this time it was Rio Ferdinand who popped up to head home.

It looked asif it was going to end in a stalemate however midway through the first half Danny Welbeck got in to smash the ball past Alves, his first in nearly 2 months! So we head to the final in 3 weeks time oh yes!

This game had alot of impact on the title race it was simple we win L'Pool are out of the race, we lose then there right in there with City..fortunately a certain Danny Welbeck ensured the night went our way with his 62nd minute winner. With 3 games to play we lead City by 4 points!

Nemanja Vidic & Danny Welbeck had us 2-0 up by half time, we were controlled and good for our lead however the second half the home side pressed us hard and got there reward. Shane Long converted a penalty on the hour & just six minutes later he had them level with a close range header. Im disappointed with the fact we lost our focus in such a important time & will expect a massive response on the weekend against Wolves.

Haven't really got too much to say on this, Wolves went ahead but Danny Welbeck got us a point. Not good enough from my players they've got off lucky as City only managed a 0-0 with Norwich.

With the disappointment of the previous 2 league games behind us i made sure my players were fully focused on today's game, Swansea may already be relegated but as all you guys know anything can happen in this game. Thankfully we played a great game today & clinched the title emphatically, goals from Wayne Rooney, Marek Hamsik, captain Nemanja Vidic & a brace from Javier Hernandez helped capture the trophy!
Manchester United 5 - 0 Swansea City
