    The death of the premiership...

    If Benitez and Mourinho have managed to then Capello surely can. Will it be in the most classy or deserved way? Probably not - but would you care? Certainly Liverpool believe they had 'won' it last year.

    The death of the premiership...

    As the saying goes: "...football is a small blanket - you can cover your head but expose your feet or cover your feet and expose your head" This is true of playing styles but also the league/CL balance too until I see a team that is SO much better than the opposition (i.e. as Brazil is...
