So apart from being two of the bigger more successful teams within the Premier League, let us examine why, where and what else they're big in / at.
They're both BIG of wallet - Chelsea just spent £50million on Fernando Torres who is yet to open his account for Chelsea and whom Carlo Ancelotti (oh he of independently expressive eye-brows) backs all the way to play "alongside one Didier Drogba". Man U, while not flashing the cash much during the last transfer window, are fairly well known for the size of their wallet - Flashy Cashy Reds from the North!
They're both BIG of ego - back to "one Didier Drogba"
add one "super-size me on the ego John Terry"
...... and really, there's not much head-room left at either Stamford Bridge or Old Trafford.
BIG of idiots! Chelsea have Ashley Cole who brought an air-rifle to training with him the other day and then shot some work replacement student "by accident"! WTF - they'll be BIG of Insurance too right about now, I'm guessing.
Man U have Wayne Rooney who smacked a Wigan player in the head with his elbow last weekend, well perhaps not smacked as much as "jumped up and hit him hard in the head with the elbow" off the ball. Now I'm not worried about any Wigan player - they're all tough wide boys and grew up on that sort of affectionate bashing - but Rooney? No red card? just a small little talking too by the ref ? - REALLY?
Both these super-fools are playing this evening !
The not so BIG FA don't have an issue with either player's antics over the last week. Nor does the FA have any BIG balls it appears, no surprise there then!
They're both BIG of Manager - both past and present. Sir Alex COMMANDS big and sometimes almost owns it. His history includes thrown boots, shortening injury time (to suit Man U), lengthening injury time (at Old Trafford), changing the entire game time (to suit Man U at Old Trafford), tearing into the referees, during - before - after anytime of a game, putting sports journalists in their place or just leaving a press conference and even stonewalling all BBC interviews - forever it seems. Chelsea had the wonderfully BIG everything of Jose Mourinho - actually, he's still pining to come back to Chelsea and whines about it every opportunity he gets. And Carlo has THOSE eyebrows.
But, like i said, it's a BIG game tonight. Man U are 16 points ahead of Chelsea at this stage (which for those who're not in on the know, that's a sizeable lead). Man U haven't done much successful at Stamford Bridge for eons ..........
So who will beat who at football tonight? Perhaps if we're lucky, Ashley will bring his air rifle to the game & shoot Wayne Rooney in the A** just after Wayne has given him a Glaswegian kiss or something equally as deserving!
Enjoy the BIG game.
Cheers
