Well TBF a lot of the thread was saying Man Utd had no chance so obviously can't use now when it was between those two but back around December and so when Chelsea were being handed the title plus also when Arsenal had that supposed easy run of games.

Well it's already an interesting pre-season.

For-the-record, I'm not really certain Ribery is the player everybody should be chasing, and Bayern not exactly known for letting people go cheaply, so I think teams would have to pay well over the odds.

Not convinced Valencia won't be a one-season wonder either. Many interesting twists and turns before the season gets under way.

Chelsea for the title
Barca for the Champions League
Exeter to be comfortably mid-table

most of that nonsense, but I got Chelsea right.

Indeed. Early days, but can't see any other outcome already.

EDIT: Just saw Carrick's pen. All kinds of gash. Tony Gale alleging it was "a good strike" too. FFS, perfect height to save.

Roseboy's expectations - I suppose they did win the Carling Cup (although the referee that day was more than a little bit helpful:

This is a good one - still think getting rid of Carlos was a good move?

What makes you think me not wanting Tevez is purely about football? Thought that was was established before. Owen got injured anyway so no chance of beating Tevez's tally from last season.

Yes, but Owen was always going to get injured, that's why he was a crap signing. A bit like if Spurs fans whined about Woodgate getting injured.:)

For the first time I think Liverpool actually have a chance next year although I hope they fail, Think it is going to be very close between the top 4 next season and I really can't predict a winner. Think Arsenal will improve. Hull, Burnley and Wolves for the drop although would like one of those two to stay up but lost all sympathy for Hull.
As for league 1 I think Brentford will stay up relatively comfortably, would be happy with mid-table.

This.

Much as i'd have liked to see Tevez stay, the fact is he'd got wind of a ****ing huge City offer about 6 months before.... Well, when I say got wind, blatently tapped up (kinda like we do). So whatever we put on the table was never going to be enough. The part that annoys me is him blaming us for not giving him a suitable offer, because a suitable offer to him would be to match the insane money City had said they would offer.

But all's fair in Love and Football etc, can't blame him for jumping ship really.


Good news is Fergie is publically stating its clean out time, usually does this every so often. Bye bye Carrick, Foster etc. Personally don't mind Berbatov staying, he's a luxury player yes, and not someone i'd advocate signing, however now he's here its no big issue. Also Owen aint a bad backup to have when fit. Wouldn't mind waving tera to Anderson though.

Hopefully, without Ronaldo, we'll learn how to play football again. Wingers who like to pass and cross, strikers who feel the need to get into the penalty area once in a while. Become a team again rather than a one man show.

Get Berbatov to stay up front, allow Rooney the right to roam without care, with a solid 4 anchored behind them (by solid, meaning no Anderson for at least 6 months untill he remembers what football is)

Like it or not we need a left winger more than we need a right winger (though one of them wont hurt too, especially if Nani decides the only shoes of Ronaldo's he's stepping into are his pink slippers), depending if Hargreaves can find a kneecap or two, might need a holding midfielder.

Oh and a keeper without Parkinsons would help (even the one with Tourettes could control himself better)

Called not too badly, Valencia/Rooney combo has been impressive... Got Berbatov and Rooney the wrong way round though (Berba showing he's better at creating than scoring at the moment, sets up some great goals then some gash misses). Nani really come into form recently, and Valencia been a surprising sucess, pinging the ball in nicely rather than dancing on the spot/falling on arse/hissy fit.

Also called the need for a holding midfielder, and called Anderson still being turd.

I'm hopeful that Spurs will get out of the blocks a bit (ok a lot quicker) than last year.

I think we can finish top 6 and I really hope we play in a Final this year don't care if it's Carling Cup or FA Cup.

Nufan on fire early on there

(right, going to stop trawling through this thread and do something productive)
