staying put or heading to Stamford Bridge
うわさ通り英国のサッカーは生き馬の目を抜くきびしさです。今年ははじまったばかりなのに（でしょう？）、もう優勝はダメだろうという見方が大衆紙 The Sun紙で披露されています。ちなみに香川の「か」の字も出てきません。

Losing Vidic will cost United the title
By ALAN SHEARER
IT is early days in the title race but already Manchester United have been dealt a huge blow from which they will not recover.
Before the season started I did not think they were strong enough to win the title despite all their new signings.
With the loss of Nemanja Vidic now for two months I am even more convinced that the Premier League trophy will either be staying put or heading to Stamford Bridge.
In truth his loss last season probably cost them the title.
For me they are looking a lot more vulnerable now.
