A lot of ifs, but could we overtake United this season?....

Actually there's quite a big difference between finishing 3rd and 4th...
As you have to qualify into the group stages at 4th where as at 3rd you don't.

Unlikely but NOT impossible
Going into last game with West Ham safe
Chelsea 86 +62
Arsenal 80 +80
United 75 +48
City 74 +36
City to win at West Ham and Stoke to snatch a draw at the swamp would put us 3rd!
Believe!
Well if I'm gonna dream I won't be constrained by your lack of imagination FFS

I've been thinking this for 2 weeks, but have been too scared to even say it. Every time we have got ahead of ourselves we have subsequently fallen over this season. The important point is that we are in complete control of our destiny whereas rags are relying on the results of others. That feeling as a blue is gold!

Agree if it wasn't for them 7 straight draws we would be still in the title race next season can only get better eh??

I stated all the way through the Hughes debarcle we would rue the dropped points.
I always said that we could have won the league this year and when the season finally finishes and when we look back the sense of What if ? will be a very bitter pill to swallow and the feeling of why the hell did anyone want to keep hughes?
will come to the fore.

Good point, I admit. But we can forget about third this year, whether it's a significant improvement or not.

Even if we finish 4th and the rags dont win the league that'll do for me. At least next season we start on and even footing with the rags, same opportunaties same chances of success...........

No way do we need that many, we are startin to click now and only need 2-3 quality players mainly a creative midfielder.
Making so many changes will actually put us back 12 months.
We already have a better squad than them, only Rooney would get in our team.
They are simply still running on the momentum of the winning mentality from the past few seasons.
