i am annoyed. i had the post all typed out, and a browser error caused everything to be erased. i can't be arsed to type it all again.
The basic gist of the post was regarding chelsea's 3-0 win over manchester united, which confirms that they retain the scudetto...i mean the league title. i also had noted that despite the gulf in class between the both sides, united had managed to put up a decent effort to push chelsea to the last 3 games (even if it was simply delaying the inevitable) without a fuckin midfield. I also questioned the standard of the league, that we managed to do this with a failed leftback and an ageing winger being employed in midfield, lying above arsenal and especially liverpool who have a superior midfield.Though ofcourse, with 2 games left, we still can finish 3rd if we don't show enough strength in character to win atleast 1 of the last 2 games.
Next season, with a few additions in midfield, we ought to push chelsea closer, though it might not be enough to wrest the title back. Chelsea's billions or rather Abramovich's billions ensure that there is no level playing field in terms of spending power.(they have a 22 million pound winger on the bench for fucks sake!) We simply have to hope that they implode with ego clashing( potential dressing room unrest in the making especially with the expected arrival of ballack) or that Abramovich suddenly disappears from the face of the earth.
Observers claim that united is a one man team because of over reliance on Wayne rooney, or that Arsenal are a one man team because of a certain Theirry Henry. But the real one man team in the EPL, has and will always be Chelsea. Take that russian billionaire out of the picture (preferably by non fatal means), and they are fucked in more ways than one. It is as simple as that....
Ok..maybe not.
Anyway, we have come to the stage of the season where i make my cup predictions. Please do note that i got my predictions for last season absolutely spot on, and that i demand to be taken seriously ;)
FA Cup : Liverpool (no brainer really...benitez is a masterful tactican especially in these kind of competitions.
Expect alot of boring but ultimately effective football from the scouse inbreds)
European Cup: Arsenal ( simply because these days the best teams don't win cup competitions...and because
barcelona aren't destined to add to that one european cup that puts them on par with
ASTON VILLA!!!)
UEFA cup: Middlesboro ( God didn't gift them with their late comebacks for nothing...it will be a fuckin pity if
they fail to win it after all that drama)
