Chelsea is the new Man Utd (w/o the homegrown talent).
I wouldn't write them off just yet: they've still got a solid nucleus, two of the best young players in the world and a solid group of kids coming up through the reserves (Spector, Bardsley, Jones, Eagles, Rossi--I'd love to see them taking on bigger roles next season). Manchester United has been written off several times in the past few years, but as long as Fergie is there and as long as Rooney, Ronaldo, Ferdinand and Van Nistelrooy keep playing at the top of their games, United isn't going away.
Ever the optimist,

hock: now its 3-3!! I thought after it was 3-0 it was over, could be a wild finish, stay tuned...
