Chelsea seemed to lose more influential players through injury. Certain things can disrupt a team, like losing a number of players for weeks to another competition and changing the manager.

No way José! Chelsea's injuries were rediculous last season with all of their key players being out at one time or another. Cech, Terry, Carvalho, Lampard, Drogba all spent weeks out and that's like the backbone of their team.

I don't remember United's players missing that much of the season bar Van Der Sar, Ferdinand and Vidic for a few games each.

add neville to that and it nearly completes the back four, aswell as rooney,saha,and a few others.

“The trouble with referees is that they know the rules, but they do not know the game.”
as much as it pains me to say it, i think utd will be the team to beat next season. especially if they keep ronaldo. i can see it going down to the final day, with all the top 4 involved until the middle of april. arsenal and us will fade a bit. the top 4 will look something like

1. utd
2. chelsea 1 point behind utd
3. liverpool 4 points behind chelsea
4. arsenal 2 points behind liverpool

:D

Don't forget United have to go to some foreign land midway through the season to play in that other competition to decide the worlds best team. That's probably gonna hurt them a hell of a lot with the travelling and then the other teams having a few games in hand on them.

When was Brown better than Neville?

United looked immense against Pompey.

I think it will finally be a 4 horse race, where the "grand slam sundays" decide the title. I hope so anyway :)

So can Chelsea though and the vast majority of their players have been there and done it too. How many times do they look down and out and then go and scrape a 1-0 in injury time?

Brown was great last season. Much stronger than Neville in the tackle and maybe not quite there going forwards but I bet Brown got more assists than Neville did the season he was fit.

I wouldn't like to guess where Liverpool will finish. :S
