But even though it's early days this season, we really CAN win the title.
17 years of false dawns have ripped so much belief away, but for the first time in over a decade, i feel that we actually have a REAL genuine chance.
More crucially, there doesnt look to be one OUTRIGHT favourite that sticks out ahead of the other three, of the top four, i genuinely see no reason why we couldnt do it.
Rafa has done some INCREDIBLE work with the squad, the depth and quality is amazing.
Our 16 today was SO strong, and we still had the likes of Momo, Voronin, Insua, Aurelio, Benayoun (off the top of my head) not being used. Absolutely terrific strength in depth.
Our squad, along with Chelsea's, is the strongest. United need more up front, and Arsenal just dont have enough quality, in the first team OR on the bench.
It's there for us, it really is.
The key thing will be the away mentality, we HAVE to go out to win away. Games like Villa, which we approached correctly, games like Sunderland which we MUST go and win.
I'm not exaggerating when i say this, but we have a BRILLIANT side, a VERY strong squad and if we get Heinze, there's depth and quality EVERYWHERE, and no weaknesses that i can see.
The only worry is if we were to lose Torres or Gerrard (or Carra) for any length of time. But the same worries exist for Chelsea, with Drogba, Terry and Lampard, for United with Rooney, Ronaldo and Rio, and for Arsenal with RvP and Fabregas.
But seriously, i genuinely feel very positive. At home, we're almost unplayable.
Should've won today and to be frank, there's no reason why we cant win as many as 16 or 17 home games out of 19.
The away form will be key, but in Torres, we have a forward who can produce that explosive bit of class to turn 1 point into 3 when we've not played well.
It's absolutely essential that we keep him fit.
But overall, we're a monster of a side, and if we have that bit of luck and adopt the right WINNING mentality, it really is there for us this season.
I fecking love seeing how strong we've become.
Rafa's a genius
