One of the best atmosphere's Old Trafford has produced in a while saw our most dominant display over Chelsea in living memory. And now the secret is out. This title, the nineteenth, is one hell of a big deal for this football club, and it is unthinkable that we won't claim it now.
No season goes by without its peaks and troughs but this one in particular seems a wonder of achievement for Ferguson. Who could have predicted Rooney putting in performances like that back in the autumn? Quite frankly, if you had predicted this outcome to the title race when we were drawing with the likes of West Brom at home I may well have suggested you seek psychiatric care.
There can no longer be any argument about not only Park Ji-Sung’s place in the team, but his position in United folklore. His performance in particular was magnificent and he has written his way into United’s history books now. It was particularly cheering to see him out-tackle and out-fight Chelsea’s celebrated midfielders time and again.
There were flaws in the show too to be honest. Rooney, terrific as he was, was definitely guilty of trying to get Ivanovic sent off and the occasional bit if play acting. But against these opponents it can’t really be described as anything other than fighting fire with fire.
How on earth Rooney contrived not to score I will never know, in fact, we could have had ten. There were nerves reappearing again last week after the result at Arsenal but you should always remember to keep the faith. After 36 seconds here that faith was rewarded.
This is a fantastic moment. One I shall cherish for a long time. Let’s hope we can play similarly well against Barcelona too.
