      Man U getting 19th or Torres getting a trophy.

      While this may be the biggest game of the season expect it to be conservative by Premier League standards, given what’s at stake.

      A win for United would effectively hand them a record 19th Premier League title on Sunday, but a win for Chelsea would put them top of the table by virtue of goal difference, with two games to play.

      What was meant to be a stroll for United has turned into a scramble.

      And, to pile on extra pressure, United does not have a great record against Chelsea.

      In 37 Premier League games between them, United have won 10 while Chelsea have won 13 and 14 have ended all-square. At Old Trafford, Chelsea have won five and tied seven of 18 in the competition. Given those stats and their superb form of late, it’s fair to say Chelsea will travel to Manchester full of confidence.

      When the teams met at Stamford Bridge in March Chelsea won 2-1 to keep, what appeared at the time, faint title hopes still alive. It may prove to be a massive win.

      This is the fifth meeting between the sides this season; in addition to the league game they began the season with the Community Shield at Wembley with United winning 3-1. In the recent Champions League clashes, United won 1-0 at Stamford Bridge and 2-1 at Old Trafford.

      But the momentum is with Chelsea at the moment and I expect Carlo Ancelotti to have learned from Chelsea’s Champions League defeat at Old Trafford earlier this season by starting with Didier Drogba, and not Fernando Torres, in attack.

      Chelsea’s key players: Florent Malouda, Frank Lampard, John Terry and others are all enjoying purple patches in form as the side have mounted the most improbable of title-charges.

      Chelsea also have a secret weapon in Brazilian David Luiz, who was cup-tied when the Blues lost to United in the Champions League. Chelsea look much the stronger when he is involved – both in defense and as an additional threat at set plays.

      United will no doubt have one eye on the upcoming Champions League final against Barcelona and, while this will not affect their motivation, the Blues’ hunger has been there for everyone to see in recent weeks.

      They are the league’s in-form side with eight wins in their last nine games and, while it will be tense, my money’s on Chelsea to edge this one by a single goal.

      Prediction: Manchester United 1-2 Chelsea (+1000)

      This is probably the biggest game of the season in the priemer league. I going for Chelsea even though i dont want Torres to get a trophy that he has been wanting for all his time at Liverpool and getting one in just half a season will just annoy me but there is no way i want Man U to get a 19th.

      What would you prefer.

      Would rather Chelsea win so United don't overtake our 19 titles.

      It's not like Torres contributed much to this, 1 goal so far. I could offer more.

      Would prefer gunners take the title, but that is not possible.

      So judas get a medal is better than scum get the 19th. Don't he have to played a certain number of games to get a medal?

      Anyone taking the title would be better than scum overtake us on the number of title.  :lmao:

       As much as I detest Torres these days I would prefer to see him  score the winning goal if it stops United getting number 19 and it wipes the smirk of Fergusons face.

      Well in any case, ild prefer Liverpool winning. But in this case, ild have to say Chelsea for obvious reasons.

      As for Torres, I don't care if he gets the trophy. He's in Chelsea now. Move on.

      Of course Chelsea to win the title. Who the hell cares about Torres. Wouldn't mind him scoring against Man United either.

      Don't want to see Manchester United winning a record 19th title, they'd bragged for the next 10 years.

      So judas get a medal is better than scum get the 19th. Don't he have to played a certain number of games to get a medal?


      I think it's 10 apperances he has to make and he's well over that. Started 5 games and came on as a substitute 6 times :lmao: Even if he does win it, it's not like he contributed alot. Chelsea brought him in in January to turn their season around and he didn't do that.

      Well for me I can handle Mascherano's comments that his decision to joining Barcelona have been proved correct and I could handle it if Torres came out and said something similar.

      Could I handle Mancs banging on about it constantly for at the very least another season, surely but it would do my nut in.

      Torres gets a trophy, simple.

      I hope that medal will keep him warm when he's retired, because he won't have the love and respect of the greatest fans in the world to hold on to.

      Pffft, don't give a sh*t about what Torres does or doesn't get. The guy means nothing to me either way. He made the biggest mistake of his career and no doubt is starting to realise that, regardless of whether his current team wins the title or not. He can hardly hold his head up high and say he has contributed to his team winning anything can he? We ended up coming out of the deal better off anyway.

      As for the scum winning the title (or anything for that matter) nothing would be worse, in terms of football.

      Even if they do win though, they and their fans better make the most of it, because from next season it's going to be all down hill for them when we will be rubbing their nose in it again.

      Torres trophy any day. Drogba probably won't let him hold it anyway. :D

      I think because he scored a goal for them it counts as contributing towards there season so he would get a medal.

      The Mancs winning number 19 is not a thought I want at all. Horrible to think of them piping on about it all next season.

      Ideal situation, Chelsea and United Draw and then lose their remaining games and Arsenal win the league. 8)

      Let Torres have his F***ing medal, it's not like he contributed much is it? Just like the World Cup, he'll get another medal by doing F**k all. He won't be happy at all.

      Chelsea everyday for me, keep it at 18 titles each and then we'll F**k everyone over next year.

      Torres getting championship winners medal.

      Do hope that it will be a massive anti-climax for him and he starts thinking of how much more special it would have been to win one in a red shirt under Kenny and in front of real football fans and playing for a proper historic mighty club not some faceless plastic bunch of tw*ts.

      The difference here is that Manchester United deserve to win their trophy and Torres doesn't deserve anything for what he had performed like the past 2 years. Yeah they may not have played great quality football but at the end of the day Man Utd have done what they've needed to do while they others haven't. I think Chelsea should be embarrassed with the squad they've got and Arsenal should just be embarassed all round. What a bunch of weaklins they are London. So yeah Man Utd fully merit their trophy.
