If you include our 4 games in pre-season (including the Community Shield), the next 3 months are going to be stressful.

I miss Sunderland for the last fixture! 

Don't worry, having Newcastle away on the last day has historically worked out well also

Here's a breakdown of travel distances for away games next season in the league. Newcastle a brutal one as always!

Is this a 2016-17 article? It certainly bears a striking resemblance to last year's nonsense the experts were spouting.

So the so called experts said last season, then they struggled to get a 4 finish.

That bodes well, when we won it in 2005 Giggs came out and went on about how hard it is to retain title's. Am i not the only one not getting the United hype? The only thing they have going for them is Jose's second season record, that aside i can't think of a single reason to justify putting them in the mix.

I also can only think of his record. And that's supposed to be broken some time. I think now would be a great time.
Tbh I still continue to worry about Spurs and I think Pep got a better understanding of everything and with Jesus playing the whole season they're going to do much better. That's it. United, Liverpool, Arsenal will continue to be flukes IMO.

Also what needs to be factored in is last 4 season's they have finished between 4th to 7th with points in the 60's (once 70). I know we went from 10th to 1st but the 10th place was a fluke among many years of being late 70's at worst point's wise, United have been at a pre Roman Chelsea like level since Fergie has gone and it will be hard to shift from 4 years of that to find the consistency required for a title challenge, especially against the elite competition.

At the moment, our condition is considered weaker than last season. So, from the non biased view, it should be Spurs as the favorite. Giggs comments are very biased.
