No panic for Fergie

Sir Alex Ferguson won’t panic after Manchester United’s title ambitions were dented on Saturday. The Red Devils suffered a 3-1 defeat to an inspired Everton at Goodison Park. With Chelsea winning at Wolves, United slipped four points off the pace. "It was a bad result for us and at this time of the year you can't afford results like that, but I don't think we will panic because it has been a funny season," said Ferguson afterwards. "Teams have been losing points that you don't expect so the very nature of the league suggests we still have a chance.” United play West Ham on Tuesday. With 11 games of the season remaining, it now looks unlikely United will get to the 90-point mark that has tended to be required to clinch the championship in recent times.
