This is as things stand and in my opinion city are joint strongest team along with chelsea and only city are looking like making and real improvements.
I'm now starting to believe in mancini and this group of players and i truely believe with one or two improvements (LB mainly) we can and will challenge for the title

I thought about putting them up but then looked at the bookies odds which look like this:

Chelsea 6/4, Man Utd 9/4, Man City 5/1, Arsenal 7/1, Liverpool 8/1, Tottenham 50/1, Aston Villa 150/1

and thought that they were being considerably generous to the dippers they should be around the same odds as spurs. I'm loving the fact that were now outright 3rd favs when we started the summer joint 5th favs with spurs
