Ferguson, Wenger and Mourinho have failed. Bentez has won the European Champions League. Liverpool neither has the talent of Man Utd, the firepower of Arsenal or the monetary power of Chelsea yet it beat a team which beat the talented Man Utd. Chelsea could have beaten Milan too but they lost their hunger to win. Liverpool have all to gain by beating Chelsea and Milan and nothing to lose. A bargaining chip, a trophy and proof that they are good but unlucky. Being a fan of Chelsea, i can say Chelsea lacked the determination to play due to the capture of the Premiership. 2 out of 4 is a good start for Mourinho, he should have won the FA Cup. Chelsea lost to the hungrier team in the Champions League. If Liverpool can play in England, the way they play in Europe, they will surpass Man Utd. Arsenal and Chelsea are harder to catch. Chelsea has a world-class team both on and off pitch.
Even if Liverpool do not get a chance their title next season, so what? They kicked butt today, got the trophy and showed they are better than Chelsea. A pipe dream for Man Utd, a hope for Arsenal, a fantasy for the rest of the EPL teams. Chelsea need to defeat Man City next season along with Arsenal. A new season will show if the Premiership will continue to be a three horse race with the same three horses.
Man Utd's fans have lost faith not due soccer but business. If they can weather the storm, they might maintain the status quo. Their golden age is over no justy because of the age of the best players but also due to the type of players Ferguson has bought. Saha has disappeared from the match pitch. Nistelroy has lost his scoring boots. Rooney is a thug with a off pitch life worse than Beckham minus the fame. Cristiano Ronaldo is a fancy pants with little to show. They need players with grit not flashes in pans.
