GAME - West Ham 2-4 Man Utd
This was a cracking game and had everything you want from a Premier League match. It's also the game that effectively means Man United have won the league, especially after Arsenal and Chelsea could only draw later in the day. Hindsight is a wonderful thing, but there are maybe things that Avram Grant could have done to change it in the second half. There was a massive gap between West Ham's midfield and forward two and that meant Chris Smalling and Nemanja Vidic could deal with Demba Ba and Carlton Cole, while the two full-backs - Fabio and Ryan Giggs - could push forward and overwhelm them. It's never easy to see all this when you're down on the touchline, but they really needed somebody like Robbie Keane on to play in the hole behind a central striker. Then United wouldn't be able to play two against two and they wouldn't have been able to outnumber them so easily.

PLAYER - Wayne Rooney
He's the most talked-about player around, but when Sir Alex was looking for people to roll their sleeves up in the second half, he was one of the guys who stood up and was counted. I thought Ryan Giggs was magnificent at left-back, but I have to pick Rooney for his three goals. He obviously lost his cool after his third goal and I found it strange that he would direct his anger down the camera. You see players making gestures when they get abuse from the crowd, but it was odd to do it to the millions and millions watching around the world. He'd even had a moment to collect his thoughts, but we all do daft things from time to time. It was out of order, but he has apologised and will get punished for it. You'd hope he won't do it again.

GAFFER - Sir Alex Ferguson
Sir Alex's decision to put Giggs at left-back and push Fabio on was the tactical masterstroke that won the game. He isn't allowed on the touchline, so he couldn't do much about the first 45 minutes, although I'm sure he was trying to relay information to Mike Phelan. At half-time you didn't think there was a way back for Manchester United, as long as West Ham carried on doing what they were doing, but Fergie changed things and Grant didn't respond. The United boss made things hard for the home team and they won the game. I should also mention Roy Hodgson here. What a massive win for them over Liverpool, although Kenny Dalglish won't be happy with either Sotirios Kyrgiakos or Pepe Reina for giving the penalties away. You can't take anything away from West Brom though. Roy will be ecstatic - but I still don't have any idea who'll go down!

TEAM - Man City
City must be kicking themselves because they have proved that they are so much better when they go at teams and express themselves. Roberto Mancini's negativity has cost them throughout this season - and might ultimately cost him his job. Everybody has been saying for a long time that he has got the best attacking players, so he should let them loose. They are in a situation where they risk missing out on the top four, so he has finally let his players go for it - and he has reaped the rewards straight away with a 5-0 win over Sunderland. I've said several times that if Ian Holloway was the Man City manager they might have won the title. He might not have been accepted by the players, but tactically he would have gone out to try and beat teams and they would have stood a very good chance of winning the league. Blackpool's tactics with Man City's players would be virtually unstoppable.

GOAL - Jonathan Walters
He ran from the half-way line and showed great speed and skill to open the scoring against Chelsea. It was one of those goals that, in the minds of some people, Stoke aren't allowed to score. I still don't think they get the credit they deserve for what they do. They could have beaten Chelsea on Saturday and, along with Blackburn's draw at Arsenal, they have helped to effectively confirm United as champions.

GRIPE - Several refereeing errors
I thought Lee Mason had a decent game at West Ham, but Nemanja Vidic really should have been sent off. He could have got a red card for a professional foul in the first half, but I understood why he gave him a booking. But when he fouled Ba after the break it should have been another yellow card in the modern game. End of story. That just adds to the speculation that refs are frightened to give decisions against Man United. Elsewhere, Everton will be calling for goal-line technology after Jermaine Beckford thought he had scored. When's it going to happen? It's amazing that we're in 2011 and they still haven't made a decision on whether technology is a possibility. Also, Peter Lovenkrands was 10 yards off-side, but when he then received the ball from Joey Barton to score against Wolves he was back in an on-side position. That's a situation where people are unsure of what the rules mean. We debated it with David Ginola and Rob Lee on Goals on Sunday and it would be easy to make a mockery of it. If you're 2-0 up then why not play with two goal-hangers? As long as they don't touch the first ball and a quick winger gets there instead then he can easily pass it to a team-mate.
