Hi,
What a period to be a Manchester United's fan. Four point clear of champions Chelsea at the top, scoring goals at will, mean defence, few injuries and in Christiano Ronaldo, they have the best young player in the world.
I suspected Chelsea would find it difficult against Reading. Steve Coppell has built a solid, disciplined side that everyone finds difficult to play against. I saw them hold Man Utd to a one all draw at the Madjeski stadium and they were quite solid.
Jose Mourhino moans the absense of Petr Chec and skipper John Terry. Now he know what it feels like to be without key players. In the last two seasons, they've been lucky with injuries and that was a major reason they achieved great consistency.
But they are not the only ones without key player. Arsenal are in a worse situation. They are without William Gallas, Thiery Henry, Emmanuel Eboue, and Abou Diaby. And I remeber they were without Kolo Toure when they played Chealsea at Stamford brigde and still managed to pick a point.
Quit moaning Jose, that's one of the situations you're expected to manage as the manager of a top football team.
See ya in a couple of days.
