I was one of those who predicted 5th and I stand by that. I believe Pool, City and Chelsea will be the top three and we will be fighting it out with the Goons - who have finally discovered how beneficial working off the ball as well as with it is - and United, who surely have to either improve under Mourinho, or a new leader. Given the injuries to key players we keep picking up, and a wafer thin depth of squad with real quality, I am struggling to see better than 5th. And 6th is by no means out of the question. Especially if we keep getting those injuries and refuse to swallow our pride and accept the necessity of strengthening in January.
Agreed - and all that because we bought no-one and it's showing.Think we'll struggle anyway this season.
