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.

doesn't really make sense to start gauging who will finish where until teams finish their transfer business, at the moment we look like we are set for 4th-5th since we have no main striker, 3 midfielders etc but if we sign a ST, CM, RWB etc we will be in the mix for the title I think

I'd have been happy if We'd signed Hernandez tbh.

Fair play to Wet Spam, 'bargain' at 15m. Hated Dickacheato when he was at Utd, but he's one of those rare breed including Aldridge, Van Nistleroy, Lineker, Lampard, that have a sixth sense in the box as to where the ball will end up, and is guaranteed to score.

Chicharito was always a thorn in our side, i hated his guts, now he will be playing for West Ham, going to be interesting derbies for sure

Yup a shrewd buy, and Bilic will doubtless galvanise him. Expecting them to finish top half of the table at least - but always behind us

just as long as he doesnt score against us, he always has our number, he´s like a tick, we need to hell mark him

Mauricio Pochettino tells Antonio Conte to start showing Tottenham some respect

Pochettino is sounding like a snowflake, win something first then you will earn your respect, until then shut it

Citeh have the best squad.......don't know why Utd are even being considered. At the moment just wondering how we will cope with such a small squad. Lack of depth will be our undoing unless we have an early exit from cup competitions. At the moment the board seem more intent on reducing player numbers making it very difficult for Conte to manage and compete.

Watching City v Spuds here. City look MILES ahead of us in terms of sharpness and fluidity. And this is without several of their star players not even playing.

Its shocking stuff really.

 

Danilo has taken them to a new level in terms of attacking from wingbacks. Unless we do the same I can safely say we won't be any factor with them in the league this season.
