A simple question - who do you think will win the league?

[Silvas_Left_Foot]

To be honest i think it is about 60% to 40% to the rags. Only time will tell and how well we play againt them, Chelsea and Liverpool. Could still win the prem though :)

I think United will win it and we will finish a close second which would still be considered progress on last seasons third placed finish. I think I'm right in saying that no team has ever finished outside the top two and won the Premier League the following season. The gap from third to first is huge.

The season kind of starts now with the Champions League starting this week. We must not underestimate the commands Champions League football will have on the squad bearing in mind we play away from home after each of our group games.

I think we will be fully equipped to win the league next season.

We finished on the same points as Chelsea and only goal difference separated us.

The Rags have 2 great thorns in their side, us in the PL and Barcelona in the CL.
Due to a relatively difficult start to their season Baconface had to get the squad fit and firing a bit earlier than usual this time. The thought of us getting a lead over them is one that sits not well with the old git. The "kids" are busting a gut to keep apace with us and this will surely tell in a little while as energy levels drop. In the meantime, we are playing in 20 minute bursts, doing enough and subbing out/keeping ball/rotating to keep us fresh and hungry.

Personally i can see us winning the league because we seem to be set-up to win a marathon and we're still demolishing teams and there going for a sprint. The only thing that is going to really cock us up is that after every CL game we have an away game. Which includes a trip to the swamp, Chelsea and Liverpool now that is bleeding harsh.

The game at the swamp will be crucial imo as I think we should go all out defence and brutalise the fuckers in a fair way. Seriously bollocks to putting on a show and going for a great footballing sceptical just put there team through one hell of an ordeal. Make sure every single one of there player leave that pitch with some kind of knock or niggling injury.

Lets do to them what them bastards did to us at COMS a couple of years ago with SWP. As in systematically target there players (Shrek) and kick the living daylights out of them. Once one of ours gets a yellow rotate to the next man and carry on kicking the fuck out of them. If we lose the match and end up with 10 yellow cards so be it as long as we hurt them in a fair way. We should go for the season long option and try and derail the fuckers. After all Bacon face would do the same thing to us or anyone else going for the title and has done many a time in the past. So its time they got some of his own medicine back in return.

I think it really could come down to the results of both derbies, it will be that close.

 

[Balti]

Too early to say but it's gonna be bloody close.

I honestly think we will win it, I have never had so much confidence in City before.

Not even close.

Chelsea 2009/2010 winners, 3rd in 2008/2009
Rags 2002/2003 winners, 3rd in 2001/2002
Arsenal 1997/1998, 3rd in 1996/1997

What's a footballing sceptical? :)

Corrupt officials will ensure the rags win it.

The derbies will be the decider. El classico will be a foot note compared to our derbies. It will be war.
