It all turned to custard for Sir Alex Ferguson and Manchester United when Fulham stole a point at Loftus Road on February 28, 2004 in London. The champions now trail Arsenal by nine points with 11 rounds to go.

Karma bites Man Utd. in the arse yet again. They’ve now drawn or lost their last 4 league games. They went down in the CL after Fergie talked (expletive deleted) about FC Porto “buying their league title at the corner shop.” (Um, yeah, and they got the Buy One Get One Free special for the UEFA Cup over Celtic too?) Keane sent off for running over Porto’s keeper, and now our favorite Diving Dutchman gets booked whilst still on the bench, as the title gets ready to go back to Highbury where it belongs.

Yeah, what more can I add to this?

Two goals in the first five minutes (Henry and Pires) were enough to hold off Charlton. I believe Man U drew as well (it was tied late). If so, the lead would be nine.

More later.
