that's what I meant by mentioning the 10+ games left to be played at the time - it would have been unlikely that ManU would pull all wins in their other games and thus render the Stamford Bridge showdown "pointless".

I actually said this at the time in another thread, that the must win games werent the big 2 (Liverpool and Chelsea) but the smaller games. As long as Utd won those then the league was ours no matter what happened in the other 2 games. The Liverpool win was a bomus that basically let Fergie risk a weakened side against Pompey to keep players fresh for Roma, if we had lost to Liverpool the team would have been stronger, at least from the start.
