Jose Mourinho has whipped the media in to a frenzy, emphasising the point that injuries have crippled his team. This has lead small details like Manchester United being without both captain Gary Neville and defender of the season Nemanja Vidic for a longer period of time than Chelsea were without John Terry. It is also forgotten that Louis Saha has spent all of 2007 battling with injuries, and has not played a match since the first weekend in March.
Manchester United really were a side crippled with injuries the season before, and finished eight points behind Chelsea. Neither Alex Ferguson or any of the players relied on the injury excuse, and would not have dreamed of claiming to be the best side.
Paulo Ferreira, however, does claim that Chelsea are the better side, despite winning four less games than the reds and obtaining a goal difference worse by 16.
"I insist 100 per cent that United are not a better team than Chelsea," he said.
"When all our players are fit then we're still the best in the country.
"We played United three times this season and they did not win any of those games."
