Rooney Out 2-4 Weeks

In the waning moments of Tuesday's match between Manchester United and Bayern Munich, Wayne Rooney, the 34 goal man from Man U, twisted his ankle, condemning him to 2 to 4 weeks on the sidelines. With Chelsea on the weekend and Bayern replay the next week, many believe that Manchester's chance at a third straight trip to the Champion's League Finals and their chance at winning at fourth straight Premier League title are shot. However I believe that Man U will pull through because of the play of Dimitar Berbatov. Berbatov has been on and off this season, managing to score 12 goals this campaign. However Berbatov has been playing in Rooney's shadow this entire season. When he was at Tottenham, he was the main man and performed brilliantly. I believe he will step his game up now that he is in the spotlight, and will carry Manchester United on his back to glory.

A Three Horse Race?

It looks like Arsenal are back. After having been nearly counted out of the title race some couple of months ago Arsenal find themselves 6 points off leaders Chelsea and 2 points off Manchester United. And Arsenal aren't even playing their best football yet. Thomas Vermaelen and William Gallas are managing to hold together a defense that has had nightmares on the flanks, most notably regarding the situations of Gael Clichy and Bacary Sagna. With Nicholas Bendtner finally back from injury, and with Cesc Fabregas enjoying a rich vein of form, this could be the year that Arsenal shocks the world and rips away the title from the boys in red and blue.
