I think both clubs are in disarray in their own ways. Both have great managers but not idea players. United have good players on paper but who seem to have really poor attitudes and undermine the manager eventually.

Chelsea have spent a lot of money but have a completely new squad who have had little time together and are very raw.

It’s easy to say “Chelsea should because they spent 1bn”. But I am talking about their current squads, manager, board, situation etc

    Chealea, out of the 2. all they really need is a striker who can actually put it away and they have a solid team in a season or 2. Man U need a lot more than 1 player, plus I don’t think ETH is that great

    Chelsea as much of a joke as they have been they are a newly combined team with a very young squad, they’re beginning to gel and you can see that by their recent results.

    Personally as a Newcastle fan I wish we’d played them 5-6 weeks ago rather than in two weeks time as I’m genuinely worried.

        Nah New castle is going to beat us pretty convincingly. We can’t break down low blocks and they are probably the best low block in the league if not world. They don’t always play in a low block so if they decide to come out, we have a chance otherwise we’re finished

          Depends how many of our players come back from injury over the break. Id feel confident in a fully fit Newcastle, our squad as it stands however is being held together by sellotape and a prayer! 😂

    Chelsea.

    We will go challenge some other stats like quickest team to give away a lead, quickest team to lose the ball, highest rank in table with lowest GD, etc etc :D

      Pretty decent chance to win the Championship title thought! Just give it a few more years.

    Chelsea historically have won stuff even during their worst spells. Their worst ever premier league season aside from last year, they won the title the year before and the year after.

    United have been consistently not in the title picture for a decade. Even when they win other cups they’re nowhere near consistent enough to win the league.

    Chelsea will win it first

    chelsea team is really young and they will get better.I think they will have the second best midfield in the world in 2-3years(real madrid is just too good in that area) all chelsea needs is a good striker.United needs big changes and recent transfers they made are really unlucky i dont think they can win anything anytime soon

    Chelsea will be able to sort out their team much faster than United. Chelsea’s problem is merely a matter of Boehly buying specific players to build a sound team whereas United can buy anyone and play like Lampard is in charge.

      No one says they are back. But the path back seem much clearer for Chelsea than for Man United.

      Chelsea have bought lots of young talent that is easy to see how they could kick on in a few years. Man United has almost the opposite problem. Several starters are nearing, or already passed, the point where they need replacing. Combined with several players who seem to contribute directly negatively to the performces, its clear Man United need a huge overhaul of the squad. Which is weird, given how Man United have been in a constant huge overhaul for the last decade. Which suggests there is something wrong within the club.

      Chelsea have their issues, yes. And I would love nothing more than for that blood money funded club to fade into obscurity. But I see a clear path of improvement for then. I struggle far more to see that same path for Man United

    I think a lot of noises coming out from sit jim ratcliffe and what he is reportedly looking to do in terms of staff changes from the top I’m gonna say United, but chelsea obviously have a great manager and great players with a great budget behind them they just need to spend wisely and not fuck it up like United did with bankers making football decisions
