Yes, people really can use injuries as an excuse.. Chelsea had hardly any serious injuries whereas Man Utd had Hargreaves out for most of the season, missed Rooney a couple of times and had to play Carrick and Fletcher in defence... As for Arsenal... RVP/Cesc/Almunia/Gallas/Vermaelen/Eduardo/Rosicky/Ramsey... the list goes on - we've been unlucky so have Utd. and Berba was good at the start of the season - his first touch remains one of the best in the league, behind RVP

and Anelka a lot of the time was behind Kalou, who was doing badly at the time, and Malouda who was doing badly at the time - what does that say about Anelka... At least SAF kept faith in Dimitar Berbatov - neither of them have been particularly good this season... Joss out

Sincerely hope your not calling the CL - "mickey mouse" but what i presume you're talking about is Carling cup - which Chelsea clearly care about having played first team players throughout it.. and you didn't seem to mind when you beat Tottenham or Arsenal's 17 year olds a few years back for that matter
