    Other than us obviously:biggrin:!!

    RVP off to United but in my view he's injury prone and I'm not certain he and Rooney will play well together? City haven't really strengthened. Arsenal could be dark horses if Podolski and the Frenchman Giroud take off. Can't see Liverpool being in the mix so that leaves Chelsea and Spurs who look as if they have lost Modric.

    For me it's still between the two Manchester clubs with City making a poor start:biggrin:

    Yeah Man City. Rooney & RvP scored 57 Prem goals last term, playing together it will be half that.

    I said City before, but now RVP has joined United I'll have to go for them.

    Thought United before, think United now. They were a miracle finish away from winning it last year despite their injury woes in defense, and look a much more complete side now.

    United, especially now they got RVP. I don't think that RVP and Rooney will be able to form a decent partnership though.

    Not with Di Matteo in charge. I know it sounds stupid saying that, given the fact they won the champions league and FA Cup last season, but Di Matteo has set his team out to sit back and hit on the counter. That is more than acceptable to do in cup competitions in one leg or two leg matches, and can be very effective, but to win a league like that is almost impossible. I´m sure they´ll do OK in the Champions league but I don´t see them being above City, United and Arsenal.

    City for me. They just need some better cover at centre back.

    I agree with Alan on the RDM front, he came in and all he had to do was boost morale to get results, similar to Dalglish season before last, he failed the next season.

    I reckon Man City. But depends if RVP and Rooney work together well.

    If United had Vidic back and playing regularly with Ferdinand last season, they would have won the league, so if the two of them can play this season and RVP adjusts could well be United's to lose. If not obviously City, think Chelsea will have this season to gel and then next season could be in with a real shout.
