Games in Hand v Points on Board

Just noticed that Man U play Bolton away next Tuesday, a day before we are due to play Spurs. IF they happen to lost against Bolton that would mean we have 2 games in hand on them and only 2 points behind.

I'm watching the Spurs match now and to be honest if they play half as well against us as they are currently playing against Chelsea (just this sec gone up 3-0) we'll get beaten. Thankfully the way results have been going if we do get beat it won't be the end of the world as we can follow it up with 2 reasonably comfortable home matches. Anyway, at least if we do get beat my "prediction" will come true!

If Chelsea had nicked a goal early on, the Spurs game could have been so different. It's all about how games pan out. At 2-0 down, Chelsea needed a goal and went for broke and let in a third then gave up.

If Giggs had put away that chance against Liverpool, Man U would have probably won the match. If we play Distin, we should do pretty well against Ferdinand as he is stronger in the air than either of O'Brien or Dabz.
