1- 6 eh?

I've lived under the shadow of United for too long to be yet convinced that the old adage "never bet against United" has passed its sell-by date.

It seems like the Uefa financial rules, when they finally become fully effective in about 2135 or something, will curtail the largest excesses of Citeh and Chelski, but they will still be able to splash fairly large amounts of sugar daddy cash. So yes, we are in a new era for sure. Unless the Premier League goes the way of the Euro.

The question is whether Chelsea and City have the culture in place to consistently turn their obvious quality into results. We'll see what sort of backbone they have come February or so.
