Yeah, impressive - a little less considering their giant budget. One should note some recent terrible news for ManU though: Scolari was fired. I expect Chelsea to improve by a lot in the future.

Still the old Scolari-hater, hm?  :P

I remember when you said Chelsea would regret the Scolari-signing, I guess you were right.
In the summer of 2017, I predicted this team would not win a championship for the next 10 years.

3 down, 7 to go.

I think Scolari was hung out to dry much too soon.  How can you put your full stamp on a team within 6 months?  Just ridiculous expectations for prem managers these days, even with the talent that chelsea has.  And this comes from a chelsea hater.  The mix of talent is just all wrong with that team right now.

Man Utd. are running away with the title.  And hopefully champs/carling/FA too.

Chelsea should have kept Scolari until the end of the season. As poor as he was, at least let him try to redeem himself.

As for having a giant budget, remind me of how much money United spent on defenders this past summer? Nothing is the answer. Give credit where it's due.

Interesting, the run ended at 14 but Van Der Sar and Vidic (who played in all 14) didn't play in that 15th game. So Van Der Sar still has a chance of breaking the world record.

VDS finaly gave up goal ... and what a goal. The ball rolled out of his hands after an easy shot. What a way not to break a record ....

Anyway MU seems unbeaten at the moment

Typical, it reminds me of Oliver Kahn in 2002 when he was unbelievable in the World Cup and then made a fatal error in the Final and Germany lost to Brazil. It's tough being a goal keeper because most people only remember the bad stuff.

As for United, they have won 12 straight in the league and haven't lost since early November. 7 point lead with a game in hand and Liverpool up next. Things are looking up.

the greatest thing about him not breaking the record is that belgiums dany verlinden still holds it. Woehoe. I still love the chewing gum eating, bold fat lazy Edited for profanity.  Please do not do it again.. Great great goalkeeper of my beloved club brugge. I thought, i mention it.

he didn't have a beard, nor does he has one now. The competition in belgium starts end of july, begin of august. But make sure you visit the right team of brugge. That is club, if you visit cercle, well, it's not the same level.
If you visit brugge, i can recommend you to drink a "gare", it's a great beer, and only available overthere.
