Look forward for the 15 days from May 9-23 as English football's greatest two club trilogy. There will be no blood spilt, no lives endangered, as in the fights for the Middle Earth, but Manchester United and Chelsea are squaring up themsleves for a heavy weight clash.
Starting from the Premiership to FA Cup till Champions League, it could all be the fight of two English giants for the glory. Milan and Liverpool will have to step aside in the European Cup as watford and Blackburn did to them in FA Cup. While the reds cruised past Roma and Watford the Blues almost faltered before Valencia and Blackburn. What a treat for eyes will it be when these two giants fight for the glory.
The football's most beautiful league has just turned out to be a battle of four, where the most of the rest 16 struggle to keep themselves in the top flight. In fact the EPL has turned out to be a cold war between Russian oligarch and american tycoons. It will be a fight between a club that has created legends and a club that has an unending transfer funds.
But who can resist the three-part epic of the young punk Jose Mourinho taking on the old king in Sir Alex Ferguson, as two sharply contrasting personas turn May into a struggle for supremacy?
The fact Abramovich wants a little more entertainment for his £500million admission fee to the game, but a part of him ,as his emotions had hsown us after their win over Rovers,is probably also addicted to the melodrama of late winners that has kept Chelsea in the hunt for glory.
But we will have to wait to see for whom the glory awaits.

"young punk Jose Mourinho"
I don't know why you wrote this..But I hope people who are reading this are more civilized not to comment back in a "civilized manner"...let the results speak....
@anonymous:::I used punk as in the sense being aggressive or violent. I never meant the things as mentioned in http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/punk
about the results::Let it speak after 5 or 6 years when the blank cheques finish. not now when the money is endless. whatever chelsea always gives a nail bitting match.
a gunners frustration i can understand - wasting money on a palatial stadium and then crying foul when other utilise their money more wisely. never mind the blank cheques ,I hope chelsea do NOT transform into a club that Arsene wenger has done to Arsenal now. Young blood that takes them " So near yet so far" - I have no trophies to show, but we play 'beautiful' football ..
I prefer Chelsea as they are, hungry, physical and unerringly on top when it matters.
Let the battle begin.
@yet another anonymous who doesn't have balls to reveal his name:
1.Palatial Stadium:Emirates stadium has the highest gate receipts among all premiership clubs above 73000 Old trafford.
2.It takes some time to adapt when a team transforms with exit of many experienced players.If I am right only 3 of that team has played a major part this season.campbell,lauren,viera,bergkamp ,cole,pires etc have moved or retired. what if terry , lampard and makelele leaves chelsea for the current youngsters?
Trophies:Arsenal has more trophies to show than Chelsea.Chelsea has started winning trophy only now.Don't say about trophies.
exactly .. gate passes and revenues ..money talks in the end...
1)Arsenal chose to sell senior players .. WHY ? becuase they thought that let the other teams win some trophies, while we just entertain with 'beautiful' football, ?? No coz they thought they could cover for them with their youth brigade, Arsene wenger made a mistake .. have the balls to admit that!
They are not able to buy because they dont have the money, NOT because they dont have a certain russian pauper not funding them, but due to the money spent on building the EMIRATES stadium ??
2) trophies .. they might have won .. but once Chelsea has come into the groove, I dont see them winning much , not even sniffing anywhere close to the premiership ! ( do i smell something burning somewhere?)
3. Lampard, Terry and Makelele will be let go only if they have been covered for by other signings .. and thats not because of the blank cheques, thats because we are astute enough to understand that influential players need to be replaced with influential players. You cant groom experience in Academies ..
dei .. no offence intended .. take it in that spirit .. *grin*
1.Wenger has admitted he did a mistake by selling viera
2.Money is not the end. arsenal started buildng emirates 3 or 4years back. they were invincibles when didn't have money. Chelsea winning ways came with money.
3.Chelsea's form has nothing to do with Arsenal, instead i accept the fact the inexperience has got lot to do with it.'
4.What if Abramovich's relation with Putin comes to an end?
