United and The Arse have been the two Premier League front-runners for most of
the season – and bookies are unanminous that one of the pair will land the title.
United are odds-on with most betting firms while The Arse hover between 6/4 and
2/1 – and considering where The Arse are now - that's not too ungenerous either
(is ungenerous a real word or did I just make that up
who cares, it
sounds good) .
But what of Chelsea ? A year or so ago no-one in their right mind would have seen
them as anything other than favourites and yes we know Jose Mourinho's gone –
but just look at them now.
New boss Avram Grant has quietly and steadily been leading them back into
contention.
To an outsider they look as though they are at least as good as they were under
Mourinho and with Nicolas Anelka now up front, goals will flow.
They may be a couple of points adrift but that's all it is – and you really wouldn't
write them off.
I had some high hopes the African games would cause Arsenal and Chelsea big
problems - but I didn't notice they had lost any players top be honest - dammit !
United's title run-in over the final two months is a nightmare combination of tough
opposition and bogey teams – and that gap could start to diminish quickly.
The question is do United have more to fear from Chelsea than Arsenal ?
