I really don't think so. Even with Chelsea 18 points ahead, Manchester United pulled it down to 7. There is always hope. Besides, Chelsea have made more excitement and news in the Premiership than ever. Now the title race at the beginning of the season has 4 hopefuls: Chelsea, Man Utd, Arsenal, and Liverpool. In previous seasons it used to be only 2.\n\n The Champions League race is hotter this season than any other i remember with Blackburn, Bolton, Arsenal, and Tottenham fighting for the last spot, and UEFA Cup. \n\nThe relegation fight is not as eventful with Sunderland and WestBrom almost certain to fall. The only interest is Portsmouth miraculous escape.

They probably will win.  It appears all the major teams in England to contest Chelsea are on the decline (Arsenal, Man U) for the time being.  I suspect the reason they lead the group is that luck is on their side now which allows them to win games.  Overall, they are not much different than Chelsea of several years ago  even though they acquired more players.

As a neutral - Chelsea played some impressive football against one of the best teams in the world. Give them credit!

Jeffers, I dont know if you noticed but England were quite crap against equador. Ok, so they won, but still... it was a very poor performance by what you and the media have hyped the team up to be.  \nOh, and since when have A. Cole, Carrick and PETER CROUCH been "The best players in the world"?? \nAt least the Arigies look like they actually Want to be there and play, the English squad seem to treat it more like a chore.

7 points is still a gig gap and can'y really c chelsea drop so many points although they have recently dipped in form,Man Utd have done so well in recent months but Chelsea will still win the league.Alex Ferguson says the tiltle will be decided when the teams meet on the 2nd last game but Chelsea will have won it by then.

Whichever team that gets the most point deserve to be champion for any season.Rich or not,other teams will push even harder........and yes,we will have more heroes now and thanks to Chelsea. Its a pity though,cash strapped clubs always loses out to the wealthy opponent but lets hope more good players help their respective club to achieve some respectability for club and self.

Yes, most definitely. The increased cost of ticket prices to pay for overpaid overrated players has put a dampener on attendance also. It doesn't feel anything like I used to remember in the 70s/80s singing on the terraces, pity really...

Sounds like chelski's marketing machine is getting into top gear, not surprising since they nicked Man U's top man Kenyon\n\nWhere the British have failed in recent years in pop music (in conquering the US market) we might just succeed with association football via clubs likwe Man U, Chelski, Arsenal, Liverpool etc

Real Madrid lost to Arsenal, Chelsea Lost to Barcelona and Liverpool lost to an italian club. Basically the better team won.

I think he's got the facts right. But, Liverpool is a very good team, thanks to the likes of S.Gerrard and Luis Garcia, Cisse. Liverpool has been top 5 in the EPL for the past two seasons. On the contrary they've won the UEFA champions league just last year, now they're in the Finals for the FA Cup. Honestly, I dont think they can top the league, but they have the ability to beat the best teams in the world, as we all have seen. They definitely have been the best team in England as far as international competition. So I wouldn't keep them too far off the radar Mourinho.

Because they have been poorly managed for the last decade.  The young players aka Spice boys were not footballers but party animals with some football skills but lots of ill-discipline.\nThe Spanish manager and players connection brings new hope but Chelsea and Man U has brought the EPL to another level.

completely\n\nIt is unfortunate how unfair it is that Chelsea's fortune is unlimited compared to under dogs like aston villa and Man City, but theres nothing we can do about it

You plank! Arsenal at the top of their game play the best style of football in the Premiership. They're are also in the Champions League and when they get to the final and play Barcelona and beat them, i think that will make them better than Chelsea, because Chelsea looked out of their depth against Barcelona.

Ya you are definitely right because on paper England team is most powerful team and most likely candidate for being champion so any lover can except good performance from them but they not able to perform well during the match so it is disappointment for any lover, So dont worry and have faith in Beckham and gang and hope for the best...

Of course the other first division leagues are better.  Those teams have been around for a hundred years.  The MLS is only 10 years old.  Give it time before you start trying to compare it to the EPL.  It may not be as pretty as the games from other countries, but it is still soccer and still great to watch.  It is also helping move the game along and make the US a more competitive national team. No complaints about it here.

Manchester United is by far the best club in the English game.  When Liverpool, Arsenal or Chelsea lose arguably the greatest team ever assembled (1957-58 team), and within 5 years start crushing everyone again, then those jokes of teams can speak in the prescence of a Red Devil.  The 1958 Munich disaster 'stole' what would've been the start of a dynasty.Liverpool at least has the kind of history that Manchester United has, where for the players its pride at stake, and a privilege to pull on the red shirt.  While Arsenal is just a bunch of foreigners (not that there's anything wrong with that, its just that while Arsenal are filled with the French, and Chelsea are filled with whoever likes money), Manchester United builds players from the youth level.  They have local lads in the squad, and that's something that they as a club, have always believed in.  I know that this next little topic was on another board, but Chelsea will win the Champions League within the next 3-5 years.  Roman will not give up, and will keep pumping his green machine until he gets the European Cup.  Then he's likely to sell the team, so Chelsea fans can remember what it was like to play in the UEFA Cup through most of the 90's, when Manchester United was winning everything.  That's the loyalty that surrounds other clubs, Abramovich will sell the club, because he's not loyal, something that has clearly rubbed off on him since buying the blues.  8 Premiership titles in 14 years, a handful of FA cups, a couple of League Cups, a few Charity Shields, mixed with a Inter-Continental Cup, and the glory of the European Cup, culminating in the almighty domestic treble?  Who the hell is better than Manchester United anyway?\n\n*1999* - The Greatest Year of our lives - Eat your hearts out Europe! - And Giggsy, with the greatest ever goal scored in the English game...no doubt.\n\nWhen football fans think of the English game, and contemplate on who were the greatest players ever, no doubt that most will have worn a wee Red Devil over their heart.
