Before the season started, and with us still not interested in signing a CF and a DM, I would have said no chance, but having seen our rivals play, I have been given hope that maybe the title is not out of our reach, sadly I just keeping thinking about our missed opportunity to strengthen our squad in those two vital posistion and if we did that, I would really fancy us.
One off CoC cup games don't come close, weakened teams and players not wanting to get injured is not Premiership standard. That is why so many un-fancied teams win the CoC.
If United get a significant amount of points from their next three games I think they might move to front runners. Disappointingly, there's only so much a mediocre manager can do to ruin a team. When you have so many £30m+ players in your team eventually they'll just win the whole time regardless of who is telling them what to do.
That would be the awful Liverpool that Arsenal were lucky to nick a draw against? I agree that they're awful but everything is relative!
I did say United would be in the running back around August. City are inconsistent, United are pretty unadventurous, Moureen has lost the plot. The league is as open this year as its ever been.
Very open league and it's who is the most consistent and has the most bottle will win it. No real outstanding teams in the league, which is highlighted by all the Prem teams being mediocre in the CL. Probably the most unpredictable we've seen the EPL.
And had we actually had a decent ref at the Bridge I reckoned we'd have drawn. That's 3 points right there due to poor ref/lino decisions. Feeling pretty confident for our game vs. United. Win that, and with City's supposed injury woes, and it gets really interesting.
Liverpool were the actual lucky ones, if it hadn't been for a **** linesman, we would have won 1-0. There was nothing 'lucky' about us, our world class GK whom we bought, produced world class saves, it's not called luck, it's called skills and why we bought him.
