And let me inform these misbegot malcontent mimics, that these attempts to invoke the adulation that my very name accrues – egregious as they are – will avail you of nought!

Know this, oh deceivers, these hollow imitaions, exposed on the instant for the shambling, shuffling, oft incoherent, ever inconsequential, invidious imposters – you could have invoked the wrath of Lucifer, legendary in it’s awesomeness… yet in an altruistic act of benevolent magnanimity, I forgive you all, and caution you to be off to your domiciles and ponder upon your shallow posturings!

I am the one; the only… gleefully garrulous, ever evincing vaunting verbosity, purporting to portray a person of positively pompous pedantry – or possibly a person of positively pedantic pomposity, perhaps? – Pshaw! No petty imposter I!
I’m the real deal, Jack!
…and would you even want there to be more than one of me?

Let us not forget that many pundits – and even United fans – thought that United might be in for a tough time at Stamford Bridge, not having been in great form (whilst still garnering crucial points), while Chelsea had been looking in generally more dominant form after a wobble early on in the season.

I see no reason to change the view I held at the outset of the season that this season’s Premiership title will be a two-way battle between these two clubs – but Che£ski’s lead at this point of the season is not hugely significant; it’s the second half of the season when United’s experience and depth of squad kick in and the pretenders to the throne start to fall by the wayside.

After a disappointing season last time out, Arsenal look to have lost little from the sale of Toure and Adebayoor, and gained much in Vermaelen – and Arshevin has settled in and looks outstanding (when injury free), so they look good – as they always do – but I feel they still lack the depth of quality in the squad, and the steel necessary for the long haul and the hard times in winning the PL.
Chel$ski and Man Utd bounce back from a defeat instantly, but Arsenal seem to find it harder to shake of a poor run. Not this year Arsene… I expect them to come 3rd.

As for fourth place – it gives me no pleasure to say that Liverpool are a total shambles.
No, wait… I lie… It makes me laugh like a drain! Ah, good times…
Anyway, Liverpool are going to be hard pressed to fight off Citeh, Spurs, Villa, or anyone else not fighting relegation who can put a strong run together!
Seriously though, there’s a long time yet, it’s possible that they could get their act toghether – but winning the title is out of the question… they need to put all their effort into securing 4th place, and thus avert the disaster of not being in the Champion’s League!

Whatever their future, I don’t think Ranting Rafa will be part of it for a great while longer…

Thank you and Good Night…

So is this the revenge that ex-ref Jeff Winter suggested that ref’s would take out on SAF for his criticisms?
If so, then they have given more cause for concern than any remarks by any managers…

Nevertheless, the match showed why Man Utd will likely go on to win a record 4th consecutive PL title – despite the match officials!
Chelsea will have to play much better than this lucky showing if they want silverware this season.
