With Chelsea “accepting” a draw with Fulham and ManU getting blasted by West Ham I have 3 questions to ask (and yes, this goes back to the “picking the wrong team to crumble thing”.)
1. What does it say about the 2 best teams in the Premier League that they took a draw to a team that is pretty close to being relegated and losing (badly) to a team that will most likely be relegated?
Well, what it says is that neither Chelsea nor ManU is mentally prepared to complete the season in the manner in which they started it. This also means that they will have issues STARTING the postseason…not finishing. They’ll both probably have pretty bad opening matches (that they’ll end up winning anyways) and then one of them will get hot and take the whole thing. Who will that be? Probably Chelsea. Why? John Terry is their captain. I bet he’ll keep saying to his club “We’re going to get to 90 points if it kills me!”
(and you know what? They’ll believe him!) I don’t think ManU has a player like that…sorry boys.
2. What does it say about the chances that Aston Villa, Arsenal and Tottenham have?
Well, it tells me that these clubs are fighting for 2nd place. Since I’m taking Chelsea to make it to the final match and discounting ManU then one of these 3 “stragglers” is going to be hoping they don’t get destroyed by Chelsea in the Final. I’ve seen them all play and right now I’d take Aston Villa because they’re so tenacious…but that’s just me.
3. How in the world did ManU lose to West Ham? (a team that might be most famous because Russell Peters likes them.)
Lack of leadership…the same reason they’ll crap out before the final. Sorry again boys, but you don’t have John Terry standing up and saying “We will make it to 90 points.” Teams in England need a “mouth” and there really isn’t a “mouth” for ManU…not a good one anyways.
PS – I don’t care about the drama with the penalties in Chelsea’s draw. We know the officials are pretty bad, but teams like Chelsea should still win those matches if they want to get to 90 points…

United lost to FULHAM not West Ham. The ‘famous’ West Ham fan is also Russel Brand, I believe.
And as anyone who knows anything about football will tell you, West Ham are famous for winning the World Cup in 66, creating the ‘Academy’ of football, having a large hooligan following, the ‘Tevez affair’, and bouncing between the top and second divisions, among other things…
