I still think we need another striker. We can't rely on Torres and sturridge all season.
Apart from that the squad looks ok til the summer at least
We will learn if we are from the next few games, but the early signs are very good. Newcastle and Arsenal games were very encouraging
The title race doesn't really start till Christmas. Early doors yet.
I don't want us to be tile contenders, we are a football club
What happens if Martin Atkinson gets injured ?
Did anyone say we'd struggle without Essien & Miereles!
On a side note; Whoever said we would struggle without Drogba, Essien and Meireles?
------------------------------
Did people really say Meireles?

If you were around, when Meireles was sold, and read some of the comments on here...oh dear!
Hysteria is the word!!!
I think so - but this is also now because of the poor starts by the other big teams. This should have been when we were finding our feet and geling, if we got results great, if not, not the biggest problem in the world. However, the fact we are getting results and geling at the same time puts us right up there.
In all fairness we werent that far off and last seasons was more the team not playing to its full potential rather than not being good enough. On paper i would say we are only behind City team wise.

I did see those comments you refer to and I couldn't believe them then and I can't believe them now either. I watched him every week while he was with us and I quite simply did not rate him at all.
Ironic that he had one of his best games for us against Newcastle and we sell him
Very true Brummie. Perhaps he was just starting to get the hang of it
I doubt it though.
Very premature, but i don't think we are. United will get better, they always do. Mancini will eventually stop experimenting at City and they'll improve. And both those teams are far superior to us in raw resources.
We should finish comfortably in 3rd this season.

Ill give you half of that. City have in general a better team, but United have Fergerson and apart from your RVP and Rooney not that great a team to be fair, i am always surprised with how well they do, and we should be looking to certainly finish above them. There is only so far Giggs and Scholes can carry them this season!
QPR 2 points from 21, we draw with them typical.
February If we are still up there with a couple of new additions we will have a chance, too early to tell now.
I would like us all to maintain our measured approach to this season, i still think third is most likely. We are not Liverpool we dont think we are gonna win the league because we put together two wins
