Slip sliding away - Fergie

Manchester United’s chances of securing a record fourth consecutive EPL title are slipping away, admitted manager Sir Alex Ferguson after their goalless draw at Blackburn on Sunday. With just four matches left to play, the Red Devils are now a point behind leaders Chelsea but have played a game more. "We had to win every game going into today and we didn't do it. It has slipped away from us today,” conceded Fergie after the Ewood Park clash. "It is going to be very difficult to win this league. We have a lifeline if Chelsea blow it. But to my eyes they have an easy game against Bolton on Tuesday. We would expect them to win that and it will put them four points clear." To make matters worse, Rio Ferdinand (groin), Ryan Giggs (hamstring) and John O’Shea (knee) all picked up injuries.
