The game has been postponed. And that means that the premiership can eventually boil down to the two man-u/chelsea games. If chelsea repeat last season's feat(of home and away)...you know the trophy will end up at the bridge.

As @Taz said, Man-u has not won at the bridge in 8 years. The game would have been a draw at worst and a win for chelsea at best...current slump not withstanding.

And now chelsea's luck has turned. With lamps back, drog scoring in open play, terry back and offcourse more time for chelsea to recover from slump after the game was postponed. The next game against arsenal who have been inconsistent at home provides the perfect opportunity for drog to continue tormenting them and further increasing chelsea's confidence before we meet man-u.

And by the time we meet man-u, the transfer window will be open and hopefully, chelsea would have re-armed.

Man-u's best moment of holding chelsea just passed. With their involvement in the carling cup, an extra game in hand against blackpool,a game against liverpool in the FA Cup, man-u will definately be stretched/fatigued compared to chelsea when they meet.

Meanwhile, mancity are going tops tonight if they beat everton!

@Mwenza...oh I forgot. That was were west ham did a 4-1?

Anyway...am glad we have more breathing space.

The Premier League is considering May 17th as the day for the postponed match between Man - U and Chelsea. That would be interesting considering the two teams will meet at Old Trafford on May 7th!

Imagine Man - U and Chelsea playing each other in the 4th last and 2nd Last matches - and only 10 days apart!!! A chance for a team to turn a 5 points deficit to a one point league win!!!

Man - U vs Chelsea

@buster, ur 'noisy neighbours' also consulted the police and safety officials and concluded the pitch was fit and playable.Their aim was simply to top the table regardless of the conditions.the consequence.....they lost!
Infact this went in man u favour since chelsea might visit OT first and depending on the result, a visit to SB might be just a formality! Man u just fear lose at home and away!

And stamford bridge has an extremely efficient under soil heating system. Traveling to the stadium would have been unsafe my foot! How did they make sure the fans didn't travel elsewhere no that it was 'unsafe' to travel? Fear fear fear. And to that the fact that Anceloti would definitely been fired AFTER [Not if] the loss and you can see why the match had to be postponed.

The Arsenal game was postponed 3 hours to kick off. The Chelsea game more than 24hrs before! What was the hurry for? They were worried that if they don't seize the chance to postpone it might be too late - the weather might get better the next day.

To the best of my knowledge, the only games that are postponed a day before are the ones being played in stadiums without under soil heating - and this basically affects newly promoted sides!

The reason why the matches were postponed was mainly because the slippery conditions around the stadium and the harsh weather posed safety threats to the fans, especially traveling fans. All the stadiums were alright to play in.

FROM THE ENGLISH PRESS.....

People Who Like To Say 'Hmmm'
It is not a question that can be easily answered. Just why was Chelsea v Manchester United called off early on Saturday afternoon when Ipswich v Leicester was played a couple of hours later in a blizzard?

Sven-Goran Eriksson described the Portman Road farce as "very bad PR for football", but with no further snow falling on Saturday afternoon in west London, the decision to call off this weekend's Premier League's showdown event seemed equally perplexing as early as Saturday night. On a weekend when Stoke fans, only informed of Arsenal's postponement three hours before the scheduled kick-off, were stuck on gritless, gridlocked motorways until 1am, any suggestion that a postponement was made in haste can be considered untimely, but by Sunday morning it was hard not to be slightly perplexed at the decision made from Stamford Bridge.

In their ultra-brief announcement issued at around 1pm on Saturday, Chelsea declared that the postponement had been made 'following consultation with the Police and the local authority', with the club apparently deeming the words 'There has been heavy snow in London on Saturday' as sufficient explanation for the decision. It could be argued that there was nothing more to be said, but those words do not tally with the Chelsea statement issued ten days ago when another news item on their website modestly announced:

'The pitch would have to be frozen solid or completely under water to be the reason for a game to be called off, which shouldn't happen at Stamford Bridge. In this day and age, with all the modern technology, it is very rare you get a game called off.'

Hmmm.

Almost everybody believes that the reason Man U surrendered the title to chelsea last season was as a result of the former's controversial double loss to the latter. Personally I know how the title was lost.......By losing 1-0 to lowly Burnley earlier on in the season!! The same way aseno fans came to rue the loss to lowly shakhtar Donetsk in CL this season.


True there is no knowing what would have happened had Man U played Chelshit last weekend. However we now know what chelshit think of Man U!!

@pesa paps...the answer to you last question is obvious. A chelsea win. Let's revisit come tuesday.

@mwenza...nice one. But as always, we have respect for man-u.
