You could also add to this that last season we had Gerrard, Kelly & Agger out for most of the last section of the season when we were 2nd on the form stats. Add to that Aqualani (which i hope stays) a fit and revitalized Joe cole, plus some pretty shrude new additions in my opinion, which may seem costly now but are only going to get more expensive when the new fifa home grown rules come in (so best to do this now). I think we are in good shape.
Defo top 4 would be a fantasic achievement this year and would be happy with that. The competition is going to be massive this year, more than any other year in history (maybe).
We don't have anymore pressure on us though than the rest, everyone expects, but there can only 4

Its going to be one hell of a year. Very much looking forward to it.
