EPL 06-07
i shall be sleeping after this short post. although i feel extremely energetic after my nap =)
EPL kicks off in about a week's time. i do not expect much shuffling at the top half of the table. though i wish Watford and Wigan both do well. besides chel$ea, Manutd, Arsenal, and Liverpool. tottenham should be a title-contender, with talent like Lennon and Zokora.
despite being a thorough-bred Red Devil, i have to admit Man utd's dominance in the EPL would be over for a couple of years to come. (give it say, 4-5 years perhaps?) they no longer possess the kind of depth in their squad during their period of dominance in the 90's. and many of their inspirational veterans are fading. they need to go through some massive rebuilding, like that of Arsenal last season, and Liverpool a few seasons ago, before they can start seriously challenge for top honours in both England and Europe once again.
but i believe, fergie, one of the greatest managers in the past 2 decades, have to leave. he's already past his prime, and i believe new blood, hopefully someone with competency like that of Benitez ( i have deep admiration of this guy despite him being l'pool's gaffa) will be able to lead Manutd towards success. and they HAVE to hold on to young superstars like Ronaldo and Rooney, instead of losing them to clubs like Chel$ea like the case of Obi Mikel.
whatever it is, Man utd's still the greatest club ever! wo0ts! :D
sweet dreams, of man utd lifting the european champ's trophy... (with me as gaffer :P)
