As the new season fast approaches, speculation is rife as
to who will do what throughout the 2008-09 edition of England's top
competition.
Will it be a two-horse race between Manchester United and
Chelsea once more? Will Arsenal surprise everyone again by setting
the pace? Will Liverpool finally break their duck or will they sink
into the pack as usual come winter?
Mourinho is familiar with the pre-season buzz that
perennially consumes England during the first weeks of August,
having endured the experience four times during his days at
Stamford Bridge.
From his perch at San Siro the Portuguese coach declared that
the Gunners are still too lightweight to maintain a title
challenge.
And while he admitted that his former club and United
are deserving favourites, the ex-Porto boss believes
Merseyside might finally have something to cheer about after 18
years without a league crown.
"I saw Arsenal. They have a good team but have a small group of
experienced players," Mourinho said in The Sun.
"The second group is full of boys. They have talent but maybe
Arsenal are without the depth needed to win the title.
"Man United and Chelsea will be fighting but one day Liverpool
are going to get that title. I think it might be this year."
i agree with him, at the same time, im worried that spurs
would overtake us
