I still think Ferguson is losing it, i would say i hope he retires but then they would come poaching around Mark Hughes.

Or Martin O'Neill, if he doesn't take up the Villa position (which is likely).
And no sooner had I posted that last post of mine, it looks like Vieira is off to Inter!
Bow before the mighty Javoo!

Think i've done really well, i won my league last season, hopefully i'll be challenge again this season
The United situation isn't scaring me at all. Carrick is decent & 18 million is about right for an English player of decent quality. We do need to buy more players but United have always messed around when it comes to signings. Look at how we lost our on Ronaldninho.
It's still probably Chelsea's league but looking at the other teams, none of them scare me at all. Liverpool's signings have been....weird to say the least. Arsenal will always be there but I think wr're better & then there's Tottenham who will struggle to top either Arsenal or Liverpool.
The season hasn't started yet & I think United have a few more signings to complete, hopefully Javier Mascherano is one. Torres may be possible next year. Who knows.

Anti Chelsea Anti Champions
This seems to be a very anti Chelsea thread its made out as if noboady eles has spent BIG and won things, Man United fans allways say they won trophies with a great youth set up but did cantona come from the ranks or Roy Keane, Rio Ferdinand, Stam, Veron, Van Neistlrooy, Rooney i could go on. I know we have spent loads of roubles but we are only doing what Man United and other clubs before them have done.
My dream team is
Given
Terry
A Ferdinand
Yobo
Trore
Gerrard
Duff
Cahill
Fabregas
C Cole
A Shevchenko
Why have you picked United as the focus of your rant? The people here who were anti-Chelsea were mostly fans of other clubs. And of course we have bought players as well as brought them through our ranks, I cannot see a basis for an argument here.
United are easy targets nowadays for ANY fan of ANY club to divert attention & blame. Bring it on, just know it still won't sort out your own problems & failings.
The whole of English football should be worried about the Chelsea situation, including Chelsea fans, that bubble is going to burst. When it does it will affect the whole Premier League. As a United fan I'm worried about the Glazer situation, I'm not ignorant to it like Chelsea fans seem to be.
We'll see how the season fares but my prediction for the top 5 are basically the same as last season. Chelsea need one season where they lose the league title and the Russian will run....or get arrested for his crimes in Russia, one of the two.
my team......
K Antti Niemi Fulham
D Ashley Cole Arsenal
D Kolo Toure Arsenal
D Rio Ferdinand Manchester United
D Steve Finnan Liverpool
M Aaron Lennon Tottenham Hotspurs
M Joey Barton Manchester City
M Cesc Fabregas Arsenal
M Morten Gamst Pedersen Blackburn Rovers
S Collins John Fulham
S Lomana Tresor Lua Lua Portsmouth
Morten Gamst Pedersen is one of my fav players
Why are Chelsea fans ignorant, their team has a chairman who's has about 13 billion and has just made 500million in the last 6 months from his oil company and are set to break even in 2010.
Manure won't win the league for a while, Liverpool are better equipt to challenge Chelsea this season. Manure fans complain Chelsea are buying up all the good players, they wern't complaining when they were doing 5-6 years ago, so they need to be quiet about what Chelsea do.
ff-sweden, you're a clever person!
Carefree!
He wont run hes more likely to get shot! im not worried even if Abramovich goes because of the club and where Chelsea is, we will survive one way or another it wont be the end of Chelsea, we might go down a division or two so im gona enjoy it while its larst but il still be there singing my heart out. Man U would struggle too if Malcom Glazer made them bankrupted but you would live the best clubs allways do look at Leeds.
Anyone who thinks that Chelsea or Manchester United are going to pull a Leeds have got another thing coming - particularly in the case of Manchester United. Even if our 'bubble burst' there are enough fans to support the team around the world and any company in the right mind would love to be "the sponsor that saved the team with the world's biggest fanbase". I don't think the likes of teams such as MU, Real Madrid, Liverpool, etc. will ever completely drop out of their respective top leagues unless they are caught out for illegal activity of some sort. There are too many fans which are too loyal to let that happen.
Chelsea I'm not so sure on as they're a 'new' team without the history of the likes of Liverpool and Man Utd, and I'm not really sure on how loyal the fans are... dunno.
I don't think Chelsea's bubble will burst, but I don't think that Manchester United are in as bad a position as they are made out to be either. Big debts, yes. But Glazer is a very, very shrewd businessman and he'll make his money one way or another. He's also smart enough to realise that you can't make that money without investing.
Bow before the mighty Javoo!
