The Heat is on!

The heat is most certainty on right now. Just several weeks ago it appeared to be Chelsea's title to lose, and to some extent it remains that way, however its a much tighter race now than ever between title hopefuls Chelsea and Arsenal.

Let us not forget the constant threat JM and his men from the red half of Manchester still pose. Although another draw at home dents their own hopes of an unlikely assault at the title themselves, they still hold the key to the title race with big games against both Chelsea and Arsenal still ahead.

First up its at home against Chelsea. Perhaps the moment of the season that awaits us. We have waited so long for SB or JM to win a title in England - is this the moment which propels SB closer than ever before. A loss could be fatal, and would be a 3rd loss in a row for the would be champions, surely giving Arsenal full control in the title race.

SB sure has his critics. A champion in most people's books. Countless titles to his name with Barcelona, including an unforgettable 'Treble' winning season. However, having never won a title outside of Spain - is his legend just a myth? Was he simply blessed with a magnificent line up, or was it his genius and tenacity to bring them together as a group to win those titles. The jury is still out on that one.

There is no doubt JM has always trailed when it comes to the 'Trophy Cabinet', however he can boast winning significant titles with 2 teams from different leagues. A point not lost on many pundits. After winning a league title and 2 cups with Real Madrid in the past, it was JM's Champions League victory with Manchester United last season that was no doubt his greatest ever achievement having come so heartbreakingly close in the past.

The moment of truth is upon SB now, can he live up to his billing. Or will he leave Chelsea trophyless after a handful of seasons in charge. Lets not forget he is still also alive in the Champions League and FA Cup, so his chances of an unlikely 'Treble' still exist for now. Surely a title in at least one of these competitions is a must in order to keep his job in London.

First up, he meets Manchester United in a what promises to be a true classic. We simply cannot wait for this one...strap yourselves in kids!
