The mind games begin


Alex Ferguson the Manchester United manager doubts Chelsea's ability to challenge for the Premiership and Champions League. He believes Chelsea's ageing squad may struggle to challenge his side for major honours next season.

He said "Chelsea are an experienced side and I don't see outstanding progress coming from a team in their 30s," he said.

So Luiz Felipe Scolari hasn't even had time to make himself a cup of tea yet and already the don of the Premier League has thrown down the mind game gauntlet. However unlike the brash José Mourinho and the inexperienced Avram Grant, Scolari has probably heard this all before.

I think Ferguson feels threatened by Scolari and is testing the water to see how his new rival reacts.

Personally I think Scolari will do nothing he is too experienced a manager and probably because he can't understand Ferguson yet
