It comes down to goal difference.
I thought it was like Serie A, where they play home and away matches.

Man U's slide started first with Vidic getting injured and then losing 2 matches in a row. We seem to forget that because they won 7-1 but now it looks worse as Ferdinand got injured today too.

Manure's defence

Fletcher--Brown--Oshea--Hinze

Thats not good :p
Since I started following football, I don't remember Manchester having a decent back line, they always have more than one weak point.

Hahaha ... Pressure is On ManU people! Now it's Chelsea's time to jump on the lead, with tomorrow's win against newcastle, it will be a 1 point difference, and I already look forward to the showdown at Stamfordbridge :)

they usually have:

g.neville - ferdinand - vidic - evra / heinze


thats pne of the best in the world in my eyes, but they did have big problems with defence last season

In my opinion, even their back line this season isn't impressive. A strong back line is Milan's one (Oddo - Nesta - Maldini - Jankulovski), in spite of their ages. Also, Chelsea's defence line (Bridge - Carvalho - Terry - Cole), a defence line which is far better than the current Manchester's one.

You may say that you didn't say that they're the best, but they're one of the best. Either ways, I disagree. That back line is inconsistent and lacks harmony.

they are/were injured in the Boro game.

anyway if Chelsea don't win the title then they have only themselves to blame, the games like the one against newcastle are the ones that decide titles.

i dont know wat mourinho is thinking by putting essien at CB when he Boulharoz at the bench.He needed him in the midfield but he still put him in the backline. IMO those things that don't put him upthere with the best.

Similar to whom? Manchester or Chelsea?

I am sincerley hoping that that statement is not directed at Mourinho as he is head and shoulders above any manager out there. Why should he play Bouhlarouz who has been absolutely hopeless this season. If he is not on his backside , he is busy holding to shirts of defenders. Chelsea have had rotten luck with injuries and naff purchases this season and they are still in cl, in fa cup final, and 3 points from top of league they have no right to be challenging. Compare him to that clown at Barcelona who has some of the finest players on the planet but is still making a pig's ear of things in la liga. How do you explain making Iniesta play left back and leaving Xavi and Deco on the pitch when they have been below par for much of the season? Or is it Capello who is so lucky that Sevilla have not won the league in 60 years and dont know how to and having Barcelona drop point they should never drop whilst he bores his way to third in the league with Van Nistlerooy saving his pathetic tactical decisions? Mourinho is as near to being a genuis as a manager as they come. To instal the belief to win match after match in a squad who lets be honest are not blessed with creative players, the only creative players are Robben who is so inconsistent and always injured and Joe Cole who has been out injured most of the time. They have been carrying 2 superstars for the whole season cos Sheva and Ballack have been hugely disappointing. But somehow they find a way to win. Man united who have played very well this season have had an almost injury free campaign until just recently whislt chelsea have had to cope with not just injuries but politics with abramovic being unhappy with mourinho and he is still capable of leading a team to go to Valencia and win
