    Anyways, what do you guys think your chances of snatching 4th again is? With Liverpool being stronger this year, but Arsenal having all sorts of problems at the moment?

    I'm not sure I'm comfortable with someone trying to picture another users penis. Maybe you should be on a different forum?

    You're probably right to include us in a second group of three, fighting it out for 4th, Manobear.
    The title fight will almost certainly be between Chelsea and the two Manchester clubs, so the rest of us will just be trying to nick a Champions League place.

    Liverpool have improved their squad with the summer signings, but they've overloaded in some areas and they've only really improved the left hand side of their team.
    Downing and Enrique are better than what they had, but Henderson and Adam are squad players, for me.
    They may struggle to keep everyone happy and their wage bill must be enormous.

    Arsenal have lost a few players, but Wenger's been at the club long enough to be able to switch new people in virtually seamlessly.
    If he spends the money from their sales wisely, then they could pull themselves back into the title race.
    If he spends badly, then they could struggle.

    It'd be stupid to rule us out, we've definitely got a good squad and some top players, potentially with another 2 coming in. I think Liverpool's transfer activity has overhyped them and as you say Arsenal have lost 2 first 11 players, with a further looking set to join them out of the door.

    I'm going to sit on the fence and say that we should be up there come the end of the season but it'll be close.

    I'm sure that even the promoted teams are aiming to win the title, in the loosest sense, Ensil.
    I was talking about where I'd expect to see us finish, realistically.

    Wouldn't they be better of aiming to win the title, though?
    After all, failure to avoid being relegated would be far worse than failing to reach the top 4, wouldn't it? <laugh>

    I do it to indicate that I'm not being serious, as I've noticed that sarcasm doesn't carry well on internet forums.

    Statistically we're more likely to finish in the top 4 than to win the league.
    Your argument isn't very consistent, Ensil.

    Everyone should be trying to do as well as they possibly can.
    Realistically though, I don't think that we'll challenge for the title.

    I'd rather we concentrated on the short term, starting the season well, picking up points and then later looked at where that put us in the table.

    Spurs all of a sudden think they're a big team <laugh>

    One year in the champions league that ended in embarrassment - and that's it they get up ****ing mouthy. Before then they didn't say a word!

    The funny thing is everyone has strengthened except them and Arsenal. Basically they're ****ed this season <laugh>

    I wanna know where the champions league moneys gone? They're skint!!!

    Liverpool have really strengthened, too.
