It was to be an exiting weekend of football, Chelsea and Manchester United with equal points on top of the Premier League and only one game left to play.
It was simple maths: Manchester would be Champion if they won or if Chelsea lost.
If Chelsea wanted the title they had to win their last game and Man.U had to lose or draw.
It all looked more exiting than it actually was.
What was the chance that Manchester United would lose from Wigan or drew?
In the end it won simple with two goals at Wigan and Chelsea drew against Bolton.
So Manchester won their 10th title under the management of Sir Alex Ferguson in 16 years.
