Fergie happy for final-day showdown
Sir Alex Ferguson has declared he would be delighted if Manchester United had to win their last game against Blackpool to win the Premier League title.
United head into a pivotal week currently nursing a six-point lead over closest rivals Chelsea.
Carlo Ancelotti's men head to Old Trafford next Sunday. Before that though, the Red Devils go to Arsenal, who have fallen nine points behind after a dramatic slump in form.
With relegation-threatened Blackburn and Blackpool to close the season, it is widely assumed if United are to relinquish their grip on a record 19th championship, it has to come now.
Ferguson does not see it the same way. "There is still drama ahead," he said. "The teams at the top will drop points, including Chelsea.
"Two months ago everyone was looking at these two games as league deciders. They probably are now. But if we get to the last home game needing to win it to win the league, I would be happy with that."
