Manchester Utd have already secured the (extremely important and prestigious) FIFA Club World Cup, and they are now realistically chasing another four pieces of silverware this season.
Last night, Fergie and co earned the right to take Tottenham’s Carling Cup away from them, but they will undoubtedly face much tougher challenges in the FA Cup, Premier League and Champions League.
So, are the seemingly-unstoppable Manchester Utd about to enjoy their finest moment since the 1999 treble? Let us know with a vote and comment below…
Ahead of United clash, captain puts faith in his troops
After serving the three match ban that resulted in a nice Christmas at home with the wife and kids, John Terry has bounced back full of confidence, declaring that the Blues can win all three of the competitions they remain in:
“Going out of the Carling Cup was a sickener and we’ve drifted three points behind Liverpool in the league - but that can be put right.
“We’re in the last 16 of the Champions League and still in the FA Cup. We need to play better but we can still win all three.
“We want more winners’ medals. We didn’t get any in 2008, we need to put that right.”
With the seventh best form in the League and a thoroughly unconvincing Champions League group stage, the Blues will have to work mighty hard to turn their season around. But can Big Phil et al repopulate the Stamford Bridge trophy cabinet? Let us know with a vote and comment below…
Luis Felipe Scolari met his many of his squad for the first time yesterday, and things are certainly looking promising for the Blues: the Brazilian has already introduced Deco to the camp, and Rom’s bottomless kitty could bring in the likes of Kaka, Ronaldinho, Arshavin and Eto’o.
However, Scolari has been out of the domestic game for nearly eight years, and it could take him months to acclimatise to the nuances of the English game. Only one man has ever been able to lift the Premier League trophy in his first season at a club - a cocky Portuguese chap who came fresh from winning two consecutive league titles, the UEFA Cup and the Champions league with his previous outfit.
So will Big Phil’s pedigree and Chelsea’s limitless resources be enough to secure the Blues their third Prem title this century? Let us know what you think with votes and comments below.
