Chelsea still chasing Manchester United in the Premiership

Catch me if you can.

That is probably the battle cry for Manchester United as they keep rival Chelsea behind them in the closing stages of the 2007 English Premier League season. Yep, it's a foot race for the title this year.

Chelsea has been winning this thing with ease the past two seasons. Hell, they had more than an easy time winning it all last year. This season, Manchester United is looking like it's itching to dethrone them from the top of the Premiership food chain, and with only a few games left, we might very well see just that.

Of course, Chelsea big boss Jose Mourinho is not happy about it. Hell, he's already starting to blame the game officials for it.

Jose Mourinho was irritated when, according to him anyway, Chelsea was denied two penalties when they were going up against Newcastle. That's after he saw rival Manchester United escape defeat from the hands of Middlesbrough.

Mourinho claims Lee Dong-Gook of Middlesbrough should've been awarded a penalty kick against Man-U when he was felled by John O'Shea in what could've been the penalty kick that would've broken the 1-1 draw at Old Trafford. While Mourinho was bitching and moaning like he always goes, Man-U just kept on winning games, putting them at the top of the Premiership.

So just who is responsible for all of Manchester United's success this season? Easy. After giving up on superstar David Beckham, No.7 Cristiano Ronaldo has really taken over the reigns at Old Trafford and is playing like a madman for the Red Devils.

This guy has just been phenomenal, to say the least, making Manchester United look real geniuses for giving up on Beckham and invest on the young and fiery Portuguese superstar. Cristiano Ronaldo scored 20 goals this season, that's No.2 in goals scored in the Premiership, but what's more impressive and surprising are his 20 assists.

Ronaldo has been considered one of the game's most gifted players the past few years, but the knock on him was that he was a bit on the selfish side. Well, his 20 assists this season should be able to change that.

Can Cristiano Ronaldo lead Manchester United to win the 2007 English Premier League? Here are the odds from Bodog:

Manchester United 1/4

Chelsea 5/2
