Championship winning & Relegation loom

This weekend see a massive game for United as they go up against Blackpool. Most would think that this would be just a formality as United has already secured their record 19th League title. Well what looms this Sunday will be anything short of a formality. With the stage set for emotions from both ends of the spectrum possible at Old Trafford this Sunday.

This said, United should walk away winners but with the Champions League Final 6 days after the Blackpool game, Blackpool will be hoping they could get a result against what many would believe a 2nd string United line up. That concept of a formality quickly gets less and less prominent. Will Sir Alex field his strongest XI? I think not. Will it be a game written into folklore history? You better believe it! No matter the result for United, it will be forever remembered as the day United got crowned league champions for the 19th time and the day that Blackpool got relegated on the same ground. OR the day Blackpool defied the Champions to keep their Premiership dreams alive!

The question will be how does the celebration of receiving the Barclays Premier League Trophy for United and the feeling of relegation for Blackpool get all rolled up into one?

The other possibility is that Blackpool win and the celebrations are one of unison!

I can tell you this, it will make excellent TV. Not even an epic screen writer from Hollywood could have scripted it any better!
