Liverpool looked fucking knackered the last 6 games..Where as City and Chelsea didn't.. more games can improve your fitness levels.. in fact the Dippers needed to score in the first half as they always seemed to tail off in the second half.1.618034 said:I might be going off message here but surely the lack of European games means that, like the scousers last year, they should be able to mount a fairly serious challenge in the league...

They strike me as a collective who don't like change plus they're technically on their 4th manager in a year, they may start off ok but they have form where they go missing in matches, what leaders do they have?
Fuckface has gone to qpr, rugby tackling vidic has jumped ship, French gobshite is halfway out the door too, that's a lot of experience gone with not a lot coming in. Obviously Shaw is the new Roberto Carlos but their defence will be their soft centre next year.
Turtle features won't be weaving his magic there that you can guarantee...

You have to have a decent team to do that mate and even with the new signings, their team isn't as good as any in last seasons top 4.

Liverpool's squad wasn't that great either...
And they'd won the league by April.
manimanc said:So that's the 3rd experienced defender gone, let's hope Roberto Carlos Shaw doesn't tear a hammy or else left back is looking very bare..
They need at least..
2 commanding centre halves....
Another left back..
Another defensive midfielder...
Possibly another forward to add to the two sex pests and the lesbian up front..
Not to fear, they have an open cheque book and the best manager in the whole wide world..
The pressure surely has been ramped up 10 fold on utd and Chelsea, the wankfest for both should mean we remain slightly under the radar and just go about our business quietly and efficiently...
Can't wait for the season to start...
