I expect us to challenge for the title coming season, because we are srenhtening the squad day by day with young, fit and healthy players, and now since we are getting more technical and talented players in, the pass and move would be more fluid than last season, where it was a bit shaky. I think we can challenge because Arsenal always choke, City are nothing without Tevez (there was a big gap in terms of goal scored, between Tevez and the rest of the squad,United and Chelsea are the teams to beat for the title, and with signings world class players e.g Mata, Hazard. Which Kenny is probably secretly trying to make a deal with, we will be a force. A bit unfair to say that "arsenal ALWAYS" choke as they've won infinitely more premier league titles than us. And at least they get themselves into a position to "choke". Last season they "choked" and finished 4th - I'd have settled for that, wouldn't you? well they haven't won one for the last 7 years, and that is because they do choke. E.g Last season they dropped from becoming first, to title challengers to 4th place. I call that big time choking.

Last I heard you lurking dangerously among some ancient druidic ruins in the fastness of the welsh mountains!! I used to hear those priests could change one into a cat, with a wave of their blackthorn stick! But glad to see you're still barking mad as ever!!

and a good cup run. being really optimistic i know but apparently it's good for the heart, so why not? Nothing wrong with optimism, pessimism is the real problem. The pessimists claim they're just being 'realistic', even though in most cases, 'realism' lies somewhere in between.

I'm very excited about the new season too. Suarez, Carroll, Kuyt, Gerrard, Adam, Meireles, Henderson, Maxi and quite possibly Downing. What an attacking force we're shaping up to have next season. The key thing about having this many attacking options in the squad is that it offers something we didn't have last season - attacking options from the bench. How often last season when things were going wrong on t he pitch, did you look on the bench to see who could be brought on to change the game, only to groan at the lack of options? Also note that, having signed Carroll in January, we've now signed, Adam, Henderson and going after Downing - all players with good records of assist/chance-creation - players with good crossing delivery. This is a good move. Carroll is a beast in the air - the beast needs to be fed.
With regards to Man City, i'm not sure yet about them - much depends on who else they sign. I looked at the scoring stats from them last season the other day on SSN, and Tevez was on 20/20+ i think, and the second closest was i think Balotelli on 8, then there was a 5 and a 4. Tevez wants to leave. Take him out of the team and who's gonna replace those goals? Balotelli? Dzeko? I think it could swap on the signing of one player to make or break their season - Aguero. Good point - I hadn't thought about that. But he may not even be going as very few clubs could afford the fee and his wages, especially in Argentina where he wants to go. I read somewhere last week that Man City have told him if he gives them another 2 seasons, they'll let him go on a free.. I think he will go for real this time. Can't see another u-turn happening. Apparently there isn't much interest from the big 2 in Spain at the moment, which leaves Italy as the only realistic option at the moment? Are his family actually in Argentina? Was it him or Mascherano who said their wife couldn't speak a word of English so was completely reliant on him? F*cking women! :P

City is in downfall with tevez leaving. Arsenal are going down with many key players leaving.manu are going down with many old farts leaving.
Chelsea as always buying flop players.
I guess it just leaves us on the rise. Good times ahead guys.

Last time they won was seven years ago. Yes they are in the champions league, but I dont know how that supports your theory, and rejects mine of Arsenal not choking

City is in downfall with tevez leaving.
Are you being serious The thing I hate about City is that despite giving these players they now want out ridicolusly generous pay packets - which in itself means they'll be unable to offload most of them - it's not an issue as they can afford whoever they want, and now they are in the Champions League good players are willing to entertain the idea of playing there To describe them as in freefall is absolutely ludicrous
manu are going down with many old farts leaving.
But they have already made a couple of signings - who I hasten to add have been better than ours - and wilst their midfield still looks weak, with Ferguson at the helm you just can't see them falling outside the top 3
Chelsea as always buying flop players.
Chelsea are the most difficult club to predict because nobody knows what Vilas Boas thinks of the team and how he plans to re-structure it, although now Abramovic has started flasing the cash around (and with it being one of his last opportunities to do so before the fair play rules come in) it seems likely that they will emerge from the summer stronger The only top 4 team which you can see falling off is Arsenal - as many of their best players look set to leave - but Wenger's tea, has been written off time and time again and yet they always qualify for the Champions League Finishing in the top 4 will a lot more difficult than many fans on here think and tbh I don't know whether players like Adam and Henderson really add that much to our squad - which is already inferior to the top four
