Fergie still trying the old mind games

Last updated : 21 December 2004 By Paul Lagan
Sir Alex Ferguson is falling back on his old mind games with the suggestion that Chelsea' title challenge will hit the buffers in the New Year.
The United boss claims that Chelsea will drop points when they go "up north" Ferguson thinks he is the mind game genius - he's tried the same thing with Mr Wenger - granted with some success.
But our Jose just couldn't give a monkeys - he's already said that Chelsea will drop points.
But Jose is also confident that Chelsea will get 90 plus Premiership points - probably enough to win the title.
Fergie is reported as saying: "I always think the league starts on New Year's Day and I always write down the fixture programme of the competitors," added Ferguson.
"It's amazing how accurate I am where points will be dropped and won."

"It is when Chelsea come north that you will see," he added.
"They have to go to Liverpool and Everton, as we do, but our record isn't bad there. It is different after New Year - there are different pressures."
