The
"Bad" week
"A bad week might have cost us
everything," said the United boss.
"The biggest disappointment was the European Cup. It's an
absolute travesty because we were the best team.
"We had a good opportunity to win it but we took the
disappointment into the first half against Chelsea." "It's
pointless going into the game expecting anything from
Chelsea in our favour," said Ferguson.
On Wigan doing us a favour
"I have confidence that Wigan will do their best and they
will try. "There's pressure on both us and Chelsea because
we both need to win but I don't know what's going on in
Chelsea's minds - all I know is that in this situation we
just hope."
"In a way the situation helps us because we can express
ourselves, like we did against Sunderland. "The players
enjoyed themselves and we could have won very comfortably
and scored four or five. "We played without nerves, which is
down to our experience. We have been here before and it's
not affected us."
