kweli, @Njung'e. I did a google search to find out why in the first place he was fired... Anyway, I'm not complaining!

I meant in the context of Manchester United...the draws are still far too many...

@njunge...exit of wilkins partly rumoured on cost-cutting. It could have affected the morale but the players are professional they should have done their job.

You could also be right as the players have really seen the mean side of Roman in the last year. Abramovich refused to splash cash during the transfer window only settling for liverpool reject (benayoun) and ramires (long-distance runner) and in the process selling off Ballack, deco, joe et al. He then proceeded to lower/remove some players' bonuses just after they were double winners. Now he goes onto axe Wilkins...and Carlo was all in the dark and most possibly never consulted. They players must be feeling really unappreciated. Especially as on the other side, Man-city is splashing pounds, Rooney is becoming the best paid player in the EPL. Chelsea players must be looking across and wondering what is happening to them?

Personally I think there are going to be more beatings coming for chelsea. And teams have now learnt how to keep the dis-interested chelsea players quiet. I think carlo should be very careful or else he may lose his job.

At the moment, Arsenal seems to have the momentum to go on top of the table. Could be, this is their year.

@Winston,
Unlike what i have watched in years,this league is very competetive.Getting a point from the bottom club is itself sweat of blood.

@Shetanimwekundu,
Fletcher is a good midfielder but Man U clearly needs more depth in mid and especially the holding role....I have in mind three players who are young yet they are teeming with energy and talent.Barry Bannan,Jonathan Hogg (Aston Villa) and and the not so young Stuart Holden (Bolton)....blame my eye...lol

@njunge..agreed. League is tougher and full of surprises. But am fearing for the future at this rate, we shall sooner be battling with spurs and mancity for number 3.

Question i ask myself is whether this could have been tolerated by mourinho? Never I guess.

@Winston,and the geometric sequence continuos...
0-5,0-6,0-7,0-8,0-9.....

Never Ever. Let them wait for "next season".

When Essien and Lampard are back, you will see a very different chelsea.

And we all thought they had depth in squad...wololo...

Reminds me when the Manchester United back four had issues last season...let us see if Chelski can cope...but I doubt, the season has finally kicked off.
