Where Manchester lost their most beloving goalscorer since a long time, and got replaced by a injury prone striker, nobody would give a dime for them to be a serious candidate for the title. Add the upset that was caused by Ronaldo, with his winking....This could not work!!!!!
Hargreaves, Beckham etc even George Best was named as reinforcements....but what did they got!!! An overpriced average midfielder from Spurs named Carrick. Supporters of the best team in the EPL, were claiming the head of that ginger jew, for this.
Now, 6 months later, the uproar in Manchester is gone. And made place for euphoria. Ofcourse they were a title candidate, with Scholes back in action, Ronaldo starting to grow into a worldclass player, Carrick showing the world that he is a decent player on the midfield and adds much to the balance.
During these 6 months everybody saw that this team is growing to great heights again, where Chelsea literally grind results. This team blow their opponents away with some excellent football.
Deep in the harts of the Chelsea fans, the Liverpool supporters and even the face of Mourinho there are signs of resignation.
They have accepted the fact that this is the year of Manchester United....The Champs
And let's face it, it's the lesser evil that wins, so it's a victroy for the football as well
