Please Arsenal, spare us another Manchester United-Chelsea Premier League yawn!
The race is hotting up and has never been tighter...and if United were to lose Cristiano Ronaldo or Nemanja Vidic, it could get even hotter.

If there's one thing this Premier League season has taught us, it's that you can't take anything for granted. Arsenal trailed Manchester United at Christmas, then built a five-point lead, only for United to catch up and gain their own three-point advantage. My God, one feels this is the season where whoever wins the title will be rightfully labelled as champions.
It is no longer a battle of technical skill, despite that being important. It is now down to who wants it most, of who really wants their name etched on that Premier League trophy come May. It's down to who has the most bottle. Who has the most nerve.
On paper, it's difficult to say who will win it. United have Cristiano Ronaldo, a player who - I have to say through clenched teeth - is truly wonderful. Arsenal have Cesc Fabregas and Emmanuel Adebayor, two crucial components in their attacking options. Chelsea have the twinkling feet of Joe Cole, who is quickly re-establishing himself in the first team after the bitterness he endured under Jose Mourinho.
Many may feel that Chelsea are the underdogs - particularly after dropping points against Tottenham on Wednesday night, but personally I don't think so. They have the most strength of depth as they have virtually all of their players fit bar Petr Cech. United also have a lot of strength in depth, but one feels if Ronaldo or Nemanja Vidic were to get injured or suspended the wheels may yet fall off.

Arsenal are like the brilliant student who scores low marks for very easy exams. It happened in their last four games
