Chelski Monopoly

Last updated: 11 December 2005 18:04

Chelsea just finished last week on a high with a victorious 1-0 win over Wigan whereas Arsenal is nursing a fresh wound from a 1-0 loss to Newcastle. Separated by a great gulf of 17 points, Henry has lots to figure out by Friday. The dominion of Chelsea has reached a saturation point where few would get any kick from betting its win or loss. I fear for the Gunners this coming weekend.

Rumours that Ferguson would soon face the axe from the Glazers are flying off the news stands. As much as I dislike the man, I respect his brilliant strategies. It's unfortunate that the Glazers seem to have forgotten the Devils Empire Ferguson has built after a humiliating Champion League campaign. Unlike Roman Abramovich who is passionate about Chelski and willing to go to all ends to make Chelski shine, the Glazers are profit-maximising investors whose primary priorities are ticket sales and sponsorship.

The days of glory are over for some of the epl signature figures. I wonder what would be the score disparity between the winner and first runner-up come next May when the season ends. I won't be surprised if it's a substantial double digit number
