Subtitled: Scott Parker vs The World.
Anyone still think Chelsea won’t retain their title? … Nah, thought not. With Essien back at their centre, they look IMMENSE and almost unbeatable. I thought new signing Ramires looked useful too – no signs that the Brazilian will struggle to ‘get’ the Prem.
As for West Ham, I can’t see Avram Grant making it to October. And I just feel sorry for Scott Parker, surrounded by journeymen and heartless mercs.
A side issue: Time to drop Rob Green, surely.
