Man U will definitely be playing for a draw which will all but ensure the EPL trophy starts its normal journey home. Man U playing for a draw? I highly doubt! Do we even know how to do that? Man U plays to win - in every game. Why would SAF even consider playing for a draw with Arsenal? Those would be 2 dropped points - not one earned. I would understand playing for a draw against Chelsea because they are the only realistic challengers but even then I doubt SAF would/will play for a draw. Picture this [theoretical scenario]: If we drew against Arsenal and Chelsea wins against Tottenham, then our lead is slashed to four points. If in the next game Chelsea beat us, then the lead is cut to one point with two games remaining - with Chelsea having a superior goal difference! Who wants that? In my book, the game against Arsenal is a must win. A win against Chelsea after that and the cup is back home. As earlier stated, Drogba, Cech, Lampard, Malouda, Luiz, Essien, Anelka and crew then give us a lap of honour - now that will be sweet. The BBC veteran sports' analyst, Lawro has this to say about aseno-Man U game this sunday.... "I was in Germany to see United play superbly against Schalke in the Champions League, but I think people need to keep a lid on things - the opposition was hopeless. I think Fergie will approach the game like a Champions League away tie and be happy to take a draw.
Prediction: 1-1"I can't agree more. The Reds boss also emphasised the high level of focus within his squad, insisting the opportunity to make history - by winning an English-record 19th title - isn't distracting his players from the task in hand.
"I don’t think it’s on our minds at the moment. If we achieve it, it’ll be great to reflect on, but at the moment we know we’ve got some hard games left. We look forward to the challenge, though.
"It’s important to keep momentum going by winning games. That’s vital. Draws don’t come into it now, it’s all about wins. We’ve got a big few games coming up and we need to win them."Those are words of SAF himself. Between Lawro and SAF, I choose to take SAF more seriously. Fvra's thoughts: Evra explained: "Sunday is a massive game for us. It is a great opportunity. There is still a lot of pressure on us.
"If we lose and Chelsea have beaten Tottenham on Saturday, they will only be three points behind and they have to come to Manchester.
"That is what we have to think about now."Never count on making a good sale. Have the purchase price be so attractive that even a mediocre sale gives good returns.
