Try to be realistic about our chances...

[Crazy-Horse]

Since (IMHO) we haven't had a decent left winger since Big Bamber, (and we have done quite well over the years since then) I believe that our achievements this year will be the same as I believe every year.

1st in EPL
FA Cup Winners
Carling Cup Winners
European Champions
Gold Medalist Olympic 100 metres

I only ever change my mind when it is mathematically impossible to achieve these predictions...and you know, over the years, lots of them have come to fruition.

I think we'll come 3rd but I also think we could win it. It really depends on where we are come February and if we're within a few points then I think we could do it. I do worry though that our midfield is actually weaker this season.

Without some quality out wide, I think we'll find it hard to get into the top two.

Without some quality out wide, I think we'll find it hard to get into the top two.

That was the position we had to improve.

Bother - Missed out on the last one for another 4 years

Third for us I think. The top two are just so strong mentally and are very consistent. I would love us to be in it to the death, and hopefully we can really close the gap.

However, I will happily stand corrected if we bring home no.19

I think it's Chelsea's to lose but if it comes down to the wire and they are still in the Champions League and we are within a few points then we could nick it.
This winger thing is a complete myth, anyone watching the games on Sunday would have seen Bosingwa, A.Cole, Wes Brown and Evra bombing on and providing the width with the 'wider' midfield players tucking in making it harder to track the runs and providing strength in the middle of the park.

If we win the league it's because we've been good enough against and taken points off the other 'big 3' if we don't then we'll finish 3rd/4th again.
Wingers will have nothing to do with it. Even Messi goes from out to in.
