Although I am big fan of Arsenal Football club and pretty occupied(read - disturbed) with the recent boardroom battle in Arsenal but since the club is realistically out of all titles, have no chance but to turn attention on the other big news - Will Chelsea do the incredible of winning quadruple titles? It does not seem to happen. If they do, it is a huge achievement something to beat what United did in 1999. I both love and hate Jose Mourinho. I like him as a coach , for a sense of belief/togetherness he brings amongst his players, no nonsense attitude he cultivates amongst his players, for his tactics but hate him for his brashness(for the riches he possesses,the swipes at his colleagues),overconfidence etc. I personally think if United keep their cool they may end up with three titles. The only stumbling block on them is their list of injured players. This is the time to play for all int he season and the time when you require the maximum back up support. I do have a crunching feeling that Liverpool will upstage Chelsea int eh champions league semis and that will take a toll on chelsea's other title ambition.
I am a little surprised why people are not talking about chelsea travelling to arsenal on May6th and thinking ahead of the ManU game at Stamford Bridge on May9th. If Arsenal beat Chelsea on May 6th, it is all over for Chelsea in premiership 2006-07. They have already lost a great chance at Newcastle.
Being a die hard arsenal fan, I hope Wenger will be astute in getting some world class profiles into the club for the new season. I personally thought the decision to let Viera go was a bad one and he was one of the Arsenal favourites and had a great physical influence int eh midfield. Arsenal will also do good to give their midfielders more license to aim shots at goal from long range, which I thought was lacking after Reyes and Pires had left the club.
All in all it will be a fantastic three weeks of football action for the viewers.
Happy viewing.
