Chelsea have made me out to be a liar by conceding during injury time last night with Wigan and virtually handing the title to Manchester United.

With 4 games left, even if Chelsea beat Man U they have to rely on them losing one or drawing both of the other 3 games - none of which seem likely. I love the quote from Avram Grant though, where he says “we need to win the games against Manchester United and Everton otherwise it will be more difficult”.  Avram you drop either one of those and its not difficult.  It becomes impossible you muppet.

Unfortunately should they fail to win the Premiership and or the Champions League title then they will Grant will probably lose his job over the summer, which is harsh.  I gave him no more than a month when he took over but I think he has done a good job with a team he has inherited (even if they are all “world class”).

Abramovich should give him the summer to put his own stamp on the team and the judge him on next years performance, but I suspect he wants results NOW and will look for a more high profile guy.

On other side of the coin last night was a great result for Wigan and Steve Bruce, who should now be safe. I thought the way he was treated by Birmingham was poor and had the horrible feeling he had made a mistake and was going back to the Championship.  However, he has reversed it and now believes he has the basis for a decent side, assuming he can add to it over the summer.  Overall like Mark Hughes, I see him as a underrated manager, who would probably do very well with a big club and could well be a future candidate for the job at Old Trafford once Sir Alex retires.
