There are a lot of good teams in the Premier League. Without putting them in any order, I'd say Chelsea, United, Liverpool and Arsenal are the best. This year we have shown we are improving and that we are a better team than before. We can still get better but we are in this position because we are winning a lot, have played good football, scored a lot of goals and not conceded many. Eighty points is good, 86 could be much better, and we will try to get there and see what happens. If United have more points, it only means they have more points, that's all, nothing else.
It also means that they will more likely than not end up as champions "that's all, nothing else".
There is a massive difference in terms of the two clubs and their squads, players, transfer records and wages.
For me, United have a bigger squad with top-class players, but always they spend more than we can spend,
"I was amazed when I saw his claims," Ferguson said. "I talked to some people in the sports technology department and said: 'check that out'. I am sure I had not spent that much money. I worked out that in the last five years Liverpool had spent £24m more than Manchester United."In this, Ferguson is right up to a point. Under Benítez, Liverpool have spent £191.9m, while Manchester United have spent £172.25m in the same period. However, these are gross figures and, when sales are taken into account, Ferguson and Benítez have net spends around the mid-£80m mark. Exact figures are problematic because some transfer fees are undisclosed.
It is always wise never to let the fact get in the way of your ranting.
