I'd like to think this is the case.

I agree to some extent, i felt the same way last year when everyone thought chelsea were gonna win the league by 30 pts, however in the past year united have gotten deeper and more talented where as chelsea have sign 'adequate' cover. their signings arent bad especially since they are on frees + malouda but they arent as good as united's who were better than last year anyway. I worry about Chelsea for two reasons Cech and Drogba (although Essien is their best outfield player). Cech is the best goalkeeper in the world their has been no comparison to him since he has been at chelsea, and he gives chelsea a chance in every game he is fit, also drogba who although a cunt is the most powerful striker in the prem who can get goals just by wearing down defenders all the way. this will help chelsea greatly in the title race but i think uniteds overall quality will shine through once again
