Clash of the Titans

This season's English premier league mimics the big screen movie, Clash of the Titans, in a unique manner. With the twist and nervous climax, the gods of soccer seem have adopted this football league for their prime time amusement. Coincidentally Ancelotti has suggested seeing the same movie rather than watch the lunch time kickoff between Manchester United and Tottenham. Alex simply laid his gauntlet by insisting that he is not quitting Old Trafford soon, an indication of his thirst for more glories. As the clashes forge ahead, the battle for the Barkley's premiership between the two titans of the English game is down to mental and psychological firmness.

While the stare of Medusa zaps through the turf, Ancelotti's consolation is rather predictable and probably the case for most coaches. "Stress is the engine of life for me. You have to cope with the pressure, the stress. There are some fantastic films at out the moment, so we will watch a film. Maybe Clash of the Titans." he said in an interview today. But his other, "We are not worried about playing after Manchester United this weekend" is misleading if there is any element of truth because he should be worried. Manchester United appear to have settled into a devastating form and their showing against Tottenham should be an appropriate reminder of the huge task ahead because as things stand, Chelsea's key game is at An-field next week.

Tottenham may have beaten London rivals, Arsenal and Chelsea, but in United, my gut feeling is that the bridge is just too far, but they are still better placed to clinch the 4h spot with City's inconsistent turns. The nature of the twists yet to unfold is anyone's imagination
