O'Neill expects close race
// A bit of a hack but it works// The article snippet is wrapped onto a second line, even when #article-sub is emptyif( $("div#article-sub").children().length == 0 ) {$("div#article-sub").remove();} Martin O'Neill is expecting a close title race this season as he believes that all the big teams are capable of overcoming setbacks.[LNB] The Aston Villa manager saw his side beat Chelsea last week only to see the Blues bounce back emphatically when they defeated Blackburn 5-0 on Saturday.[LNB]That result saw Chelsea return to the top of the table at the expense of Manchester United, who lost out to rivals Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday.[LNB]The Reds' victory reignited their own title hopes, while Arsenal look stronger than they did at any point last season with mega-rich Manchester City joining the party to support O'Neill's theory that this season could be the closest title fight yet. [LNB]"I think that Chelsea are particular strong," he said.[LNB]"I said that last week, even though we defeated them but it leaves for a very interesting season.[LNB]"You just know the great thing about those teams at the top is that they are capable of putting a setback or two to one side and coming roaring back again."[LNB]
