Michael Essien insisted Chelsea were the Premiership favourites after Manchester United´s Alex Ferguson kicked off the pre-season mind games by casting doubt on their ageing squad.
Gunner, the gooners just have not got the mental strength to go all the way in the EPL or the ECL. I was looking at your profile Gunner "49, enough said". I assume you are referring to Arsenal's admirable unbeaten Premier League run through 2003-04 season which came to an abrupt end when we beat you early the following season. Now, don’t get me wrong, I think it was a great run but not the best English football has had to offer over recent times. What a lot of gooners fail to state when they harp on about this amazing run are their shortcomings in other competitions during that season, in all Arsenal played 58 games that season going unbeaten in the league but also getting beat a further six times in other competitions i.e. the FA cup, the carling cup and the Champs league. Therefore the amazing untouchables entered 4 major competitions winning just the one trophy. Now compare that to the United Treble winning side in 98-99. They played more games (62) losing less times (4) and winning 3 of the 4 competitions they entered. Now gunner that is what I call untouchable. ENOUGH SAID!
first off scholari has won before...so despite his tactics in the Euros, he does know how to win as a manager. Secondly, United without Ronaldo will not win anyting again for several years, Thirdly, Chelsea will finish second to Liverpool anyway, and MU will be lucky to finish 3rd over Arsenal. So Alex Ferguson, shaddap!!!!to play mind games, you need to have a mind. Stupid bully wannabe...can't wait til he eats his words later this year....LOL!!!!!!!!!
DaJohnner doesn't seem to like Alex Ferguson. I wonder why! Could it be something to do with the fact that Liverpool cannot win the Premiership. I think so!

Fergie has certainly wound Michael Essien up. Chelsea win the Premiership next season.......in your dreams Michael.Tontodonati July 23rd, 2008 12:27
They may not win, but at least they are telling "Sir Alex Ferguson" to mind his own business!Kenari91 July 23rd, 2008 12:59
i agree with you Tontodonati.gunnermassacre July 23rd, 2008 14:51
Typical mind-games from SAF. Pointless really from both sides as the new look Gunners will be riding the top of the Premiership this season!newtonheath1878 July 23rd, 2008 16:45
