I admit it is good to have hope and feel like you can do something in the upcoming season but looking at the players that chelsea and liverpool have l dobt very much if there is anyone out there at the moment that can break into the top 3. I think it is all about 4th place and the champions league spot were you will have your battles. I won’t be shocked if you get the 4th spot but also l would not be suprosed if you finished 5th or 6th. We will see but in my opinion, and this is only 1 persons view (l have been wrong before when Newcastle first entered the premiership) you will be battling for 4th spot.

Other teams are improving? How exactly?
Man U replaced Ronaldo and Tevez with Valencia and Owen, how’s that for an improvement?
Chelski players are aging further with no new signing. The best hope of 4th place for Citeh is to grab Terry, they know it and (fingers crossed) they will get him. Without him Chelski will implode.
Liverpool is about to loose Alonso and perhaps even Mascherano. How will that make them better?

This premiership will be the tightest in years and we’ve got a really good shot at it.

problem is he will be forced to sell some and some will be poached so we will have to see what he ends up with. still think arsenel will be lucky if the finish 4th this time as with the other teams improving over the break they will be even more of a threat to them.

Manc fan here, just thought I’d contribute something to this little United vs Arsenal academies row. I seem to remember Ferguson saying last year that he reckons that Arsenal will be by far the biggest threat in the next couple of years, primarily because Wenger’s youth policy has been around 12/13 years in the making now.
It wasn’t until 10 years after Fergie’s appointment that his youth programme started producing trophies, and 13-15 years before they hit their peak, and all of this was accomplished in a much easier league.
Now that Wenger has had a similar amount of time to create a youth programme, I doubt it’ll be too long before they start to become a serious threat again.
And personally I can’t wait, I’d far rather see Arsenal do better than the dippers or Chelski.

Do not be angry, goooooners. Just because you would not even be in the medals as gold, silver and bronze go to man u, liverpool and chelsea you are still quite a good average team. Pity it is run by a french bloke who likes young kids and loves very young kids there is no need to have a go at SAF. SAF has done more than any manager in the league so you can not have at go at his pedigree. Your are a spent force, yes, but at least you have a chance of getting into europe (toto cup?). At the end of the day you used to be good, are now ok and look like you are getting worse with all the other teams knocking on the door to get 4th spot. I think there is no such thing at the top 3 now, rather the top 3 and then possible a top 4 after that. Sorry to spell it so bluntly but you are no longer a threat and at the end of it all is what you do over the whole season that counts, and not just a few good games here and there. MAN U FOREVER!!!!!!

Lia, when you try reading that back, even you will recognise what a load of shite that was. I don’t believe you have any thoughts Lia. Not of your own. Manchester United won last year by wining more games and points than Liverpool, who finished second. It isn’t rocket science and it disproves your drivel in one fell swoop. Please talk sense when you are out in public. And try asking the Italians about tactics. See how far they get with them now. The best tactic of all is wining. That shows the team with the most ability and the best tactics. No need to say more.

When you have won as many trophies in top flight football as fergie has, then you deserve to be taken seriously. Less you forget, Fergie won at Aberdeen when Celtic and Rangers had all of the money. NOTE–Fergie won the European Cup Winners Cup with little ole Aberdeen!!!!
In the last three seasons Fergie has won the EPL three times;the Champions League; the World Club Championship and a number of other Cups that most other EPL teams would love to put in their empty Cabinets.
Fergie will reshape United once again and will continue to win. I wouldn’t bet against him

my thoughts are that this time the rednose oldman is right we where 18 points down last year. and I think is necesary to make at list 2 great player. I don’t think about city , we will beat them anyway, but the other teams, they will bring constitancy in our team .
Why this old man dosn’t say how he win last year only by beating the lower part of the table and how he creat unusual conflicts with everyone that is envolved in football.
he make his wining only by manipulating this is the only think he is good at
imagine a ligue without pres –Arsenal will be always campion becouse wenger is the best tactitian in the ligue ( doesn’t matter anceloti is here or not)
