Who knows.......Never been there before so noone knows what to expect, we can only take it game at a time.
Think its a step too far at the moment but if we can keep this group together for a couple years you never know
100/1 with the bookies after two games.
But what the f *ck do they know?
Anyone smart enough to put some serious money on Spurs?
to think most pundits didnt even put us in the top 4 in their pre season predictions..
yes we can do it, but it will be difficult and we will need lots of luck along the way
It's a possibility, but IMO not gonna happen. As pessimistic as this may sound I would probably take 4th now. However this group of players are definitely good enough to win the lge, just the lack of experience and maybe one or two injuries may cost us.
Not this season for me, I'd be happy finishing around this position, anything under 3rd I'd be unhappy.
As I've said on not606, if Spurs are looking as good as any other team after 20 games, then you've every chance. There will be twists and turns, but none of us know where, when or how. Some tough away games and every team will park the bus in the home games. It's less to do with skill and ability than mental stength and character from now on.
It also depends on who we buy during this window. If Levy wants to seriously have a go then he may mke money avaialble for a decent defender( Samba), decent back up winger( Hoillet) and a top quality striker( ?)
I've said before we have some top top players, triffic lads..
But City have unlimited resources while United have SAF and the refs. It's possible IMO because Fergie's either unable or unwilling to spend money where it matters. City may lose out because they also lack experience of a title fight, and they're a bunch of s who don't really care for the club.
We'll see, should be an exciting run-in
City have only won one in five and Utd have dropped off a bit by losing to Blackburn and newcastle. The FA Cup was a local derby so anything could have happened. Ask me again after this weekend's matches. If Sunderland beat Chelsea and the Swansea V Arsenal matches. Wigan V City will be a very interesting result to note and I cannot remember who Utd are playing but whoever it is they need to bounce back. Let's see how many we beat Wolves by and then I'll let you know if we can win it or not.
Utd v Bolton at home. Without Cahill. The sort of easy game you need at this time. Just like the last home game v Blackburn
Luke,I cannot see Utd maintaining this losing streak but who knows? Bolton beat Everton. Too difficult to say.
Maybe, maybe not, I'm just enjoying the ride!
The same refs that denied us penalties at Newcastle earlier in the season and a penalty against City in the FA cup? we've had a lot of injury but we are still second, I think at one moment we had between 10 to 12 players out. I think this season City might take it, with us running them close.
I do think this period is more of a transition for us as we will look to ship/shipped some players out and bring/brought in some new players.
On Spurs, I think the way Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool been, they have finally had the chance to step up. They've been there or there abouts for a few seasons now, If they can avoid injury to key players, get in some decent strikers, they can really make a push for the title.
One thing I would like to ask is, when everyone last season, people said United won the league because everyone else were poor, does the same apply to Tottenham, saying that they are only here because Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, and of late both United and City have been poor? Or is it because they have improved?
no, we are not capable of winning the league. i would be delighted with third, but i think we need at least the points we have over chelsea at this stage to do it.

A bit of both.
Some teams having to raise their game. Others being complacent.
