With it's 1-0 win today against Manchester City, United needs a gain of 1 point to capture the title.

It sits 8 points clear of Chelsea with two to play, Chelsea has three to play including against Arsenal tomorrow and Manchester United next week.

Should Chelsea sweep its matches and Manchester United draw vs West Ham United to close the season it would finish in a dead heat, though its unlikely Chelsea could make up the 17 goal differential difference in its 3 matches this Manchester United would win the title. Should Chelsea draw or lose tomorrow it's over, though i'm sure the Red Devils would much prefer to win it outright on Chelsea's home field.

No champions league though. :p Haven't won it since they stole it from Bayern in '99.

On a side note, I got to see Colo Colo play universidad de Chile last week in Santiago, Chile. Lotta fun.

Even more impressive was Reading finishing as high as they did in their first season up. So close to a spot in europe

With Chelsea drawing with Arsenal, Manchester United have the title. Now I'm hoping that with two home matches left, Tottenham can win both and pull into 5th for the second season in a row. Sadly, last year the team had food poisoning on the final day of the season and lost, while Arsenal won and knocked them out of the final Champions League spot. But hell, 5th is better than 7th.
