Fergie : Massive chance being at the top

Sir Alex Ferguson have admitted there is “massive chance” Arsenal will now go on to take the Barclays Premier League crown. Fergie regards being top at New Year as one of the season’s significant milestones and that positions in now occupied by the Gunners who won 4-1 at Everton to go to points clear after the Red Devils had stumbled to a 2-1 defeat at West Ham.
He always said being at the top by New Year, you have a massive chance. Obviously United still have a great chance but to lose at West Ham was really a disappointing scenario, Ronaldo could have put United 2-0 up that would have virtually killed West Ham fight back resistance, instead Ronaldo blasted his penalty kick well wide of the target - that a signs of over confidence from my point of view.
The new year which starts the day after Ferguson’s 66th birthday - begins with a home game with Birmingham, who are managed by one of his former players at Aberdeen, Alex McLeish
Hopefully, Wayne Rooney with fellow illness victim Michael Carrick should be fine for the new year match.
