Feels Like A Win For Manchester United?....

Surely, grabbing a goal in the last ten minuites of a game should have put Manchester United on an immediate high?
A crucial point was gained when Carlos Tevez nodded in late (88) for the Champions. The point means Man Utd can mathematically afford to lose at Stamford Bridge next week, and still win the Premier League due to their superior goal difference. On the other side, a win at the Bridge seals the title up once and for all.
Anyone who has seen the match will agree that Manchester United were unlucky to walk away with just the one point, and many look to Blackburn goalkeeper Brad Friedel as the key to Blackburn's success. Still, the importance was clear on the face of captain Rio Ferdinand when Carlos Tevez ran to the United fans to celerbrate.
Manchester United fans may look to a bucket-load of horror decisions from Rob Styles for the frustrations which unfolded at Ewood Park, however the reality is much more sobering for followers of the Red half of Manchester. Wayne Rooney was lucky to recieve only the Yellow card he did after an early foul and a poor display of discipline. Later on in the game, Wayne Rooney limped off with a hip injury which many believed would rule him out of the mid-week clash at the Nou Camp in the Champions League. The latest from the club however is that he should be fit to play.
Overall, it was a bizzare night for Manchester United. They cannot lose site of the fact that a win in their next game will see them once again Champions of England. Sir Alex knows that these dropped points could de-moralise his team, despite the dramatic manner in which the one point was eventually salvaged from the fire, but United are in as good a situation as they were before Chelsea sqaured off with Wigan a week ago.
It must now be full steam ahead for Manchester United, who face the prospect of Chelsea in a Barcelona sandwhich.

In case you didn't catch the game, here are some highlights.
