At least Phil Neville is consistent.We're classed as favourites going off the average positions each pundit has placed us but i can't believe 12 so called experts think the Rags will win it and that 1 thinks Spurs will............

Six teams feature in the forecasted top fours, and only Manchester City feature in all 40.
In terms of who will win it, Manchester City are favourites, with 25 votes. Manchester United get 13 votes, with defending champions Chelsea and last season's runners-up Tottenham getting one apiece.
Some utterly clueless fuckers out there.
An interesting idea that 16 points is a lot to make up. Thing is how many points were the result of Bravo's terrible keeping? Look at the 2nd half of the season. Look at how we've upgraded the squad. Look at our pre-season form. Look at the fact all teams start on 0 not -16. Look at the fact we have the best coach in the world. Now chin up man!!Will we win title? That depends if we stop missing chances by the bucket full and conceding goals from breakaways. We haven't sorted out replacements with power and pace for the crucual DM (or pivot) spot either.
The keeper looks good as do Danilo and Walker and B.Silva is a wonderful buy.
I personally would have us finishing second as 15 points is a lot to make up on Chelsea!
As such to see most of the press having us in top spot is interesting. As to Utd - the press will akways drool to get the clicks - but I couldn't give a stuff - only derby games count.
Chelsea will be the main challenge. 16 points is a lot to make up to win the title and improving our home form will be vital.

Or ALL the offside decisions that worked for them !All we hear is if the rags had turned those nil nils into one nil wins
Well what if it'd been the other way round and those nil nils had become one nil defeats!
Exactly. He has already laid out his strategy for success, which has worked for him in the past, and has bought to add to the way he intends to play.I think Mourinho sees the 14 teams that finished below them as the '3 pointers' and the top 5 as the '1 pointers', that's why he's assembled a team of big, physically imposing players. Generally those teams aren't likely to cut you apart with intricate one touch passing football and mostly pose a threat through set plays and he'll feel as though they can deal reasonably comfortably with that. I think we, and the other top 4 teams, can expect to see the same anti-football tactics he employed at The Etihad in April even when they're at home.
