The Magician (AVB) has done tremendously well, considering that the embittered gutter press and all its legions of blood-sucking hack journos were lined up against him and praying for him to fail, so that they could slate Levy and our board over the sacking of their "mate," Harry Redknapp. It didn't happen, and the Magician proved that he's made of sterner stuff. He's pulled a couple of rabbits out of the hat, for sure, particularly given the fact that he has had a squad laid waste with injuries. Several players have blossomed under his regime, including Bale, Vertongen, and Lloris, and others seem to be enjoying a new lease of life, such as Dawson and THudd. With a Summer to get key players fit, and to test the transfer market, I can see our Magic Man startling us with more wonders, next season.
As for CFC... Looks like SAF and United are about to engineer a stunt that will upset the "Mourhino returns to Chelsea" hysteria. I have little doubt that the stunt is being pulled to lure The Special One to Old Trafford, and there can be absolutely no doubts that if it came down to a choice between Chelsea and United which club he'd choose.
