I agree on the Chelsea front-They have come together surprisingly well, and they should be able to make a strong challenge for the throne. Can't forget Manu though-they always are strong and they have the guts and the heart to win in a close run. Arsenal never seem to be quite there.....always close, but never really making it. They won it in the 2001/2002 season, but that ws mainly because Manchester had a dismal year. Their only chance I think is if they exit the CL quickly and can concentrate on the premiership, while manchester and chelsea stay longer and focus more on the CL. Unfortunately, I don't think Liverpool will launch much of a challenge, unless they get their act together quickly! losing to charlton????? bloody annoying!
