The Battle For The Premiership

Saturday, the first of March, was a day of joy for United and Chelsea fans, as Arsenal were unable to secure a win over Aston Villa, and only managed to get a point after a late goal from striker Bendthner in the 93rd minute saw them pull to a draw at home.

On the other hand Manchester United, who have now closed the gap with Arsenal to a single point, had no trouble scoring. They got three goals playing Fulham away, courtesy of Hargreaves' first United goal, Ji-Sung park—who scored his first since his injury back in March of last year—and an own goal by a Fulham defender trying to clear John O'Shea's cross.

The three points were crucial for United, who have been in good form over the last four games—and if they can keep this form, Lyon have to watch out on Tuesday night when they come to Old Trafford.

Rooney and Ronaldo didn't start last night and were left on the bench, but they both came in in the 72nd minute. Giggs was left behind, as he had taken a knock so the coach decided to rest him ahead of the important Champions League game.

Chelsea aent a warning sign today that they are still in the running for the premiership, by beating West Ham 4-0. They scored three goals in 16 minutes in the first half before, seeing Lampard sent off. However, that didn't change much—they went on to score another goal and destroy West Ham on their own ground.

So as the season gets in the last third, things are looking good. It's not a two-horse race, as many suspected it would be. It will be an exciting end of the season.

The main thing for the three teams is not to drop as many points as their opponents. Arsenal will have to work harder, as their form hasn't been good since they suffered a big defeat to Manchester United in the FA cup, 4-0—and to add to that, they lost Eduardo, one of their main strikers. We hope he will recover from this horrific injury—he is a good player and we want to see great football in the Premiership.

Football fans beware—there is a lot of drama coming in the games to come. So strap yourself to your chair, because the title race is going to be very close.
