Not moping and yes we have improved but not enough to suddenly think we are winning a league.

I'm exciting but having fans saying we are winning the league is just another year of the boom bust cycle.

3rd and any cup will be an improvement. No wonder this place emplodes when we lose a game

Oh, you were so close to using an exciting new word correctly!

The posters on here who are saying it are generally pretty balanced in their views, so I'd say that most of them are saying it halfheartedly. I don't know why you take these things so seriously and act like such a painfully pessimistic cynic.

If we went into the season without the slightest bit of inner hope that it might be a title winning year, we may as well give up and follow something less painful.
 
Nobody cleared 30 league goals for us in an age and someone did that in his first season. Keita will be a revelation and once he links up with our top 3 he will be getting an assist every 3rd game at least.

Didnt Suarez break the 30 mark?

I'm hopeful we can win the CL.

Title, nah not yet.

That's only because of City right? With a lot of their players coming back late from the WC, I wouldn't be surprised if they had a slow start.

We're on the same level as all the other contenders if everyone stays fit.
 
The season after a world cup could possibly be a leveller for the clubs with less players at the WC.

Leicester won the league following the last World Cup. There's no way it was the deciding factor or even a major factor, but I refuse to believe it had no effect at all.

Of course there's loads of seasons before that following world cups where the usual suspects won it so its hard to know. I've been looking everywhere for anyone who has done any data dumps or studies that show if there's any tangible effect, like teams with less players involved at the WC getting more points or teams with more involved getting less points than their averages in other seasons. Haven't found any yet, just articles speculating on potential issues before a season, no analysis of it after those seasons.

Leicester won the title in 15/16, not 14/15.

Agree but that 'because of City' is a reality that isn't going anywhere.

They have all the ingredients to back up last season.

Youre the shittest united fan ever wanking over City every fucking two minutes.
They can play 11 fucking players every week so can we.
And our 11 even last year beat them on a regular. Thrashed them infact. So put your dick away and stop banging on about fucking city you little black cloud of boring shite.

It is what it is. Games against City won't decide the title.

It'll be how we and City perform against the bottom 14 clubs.

They are better placed to win that battle but stranger things have happened.

I'm just not going to go in expecting a title challenge. If we get one superb.

To win the league you need to perform against all of the clubs in the league. Getting results against just the top or bottom half of the table is unlikely to be enough.

You dont deserve one.
 
DB is a gas man. He unequivocally claimed last September that we would win the CL and now we can't get the self entitled 'Dream Believer' to believe in a title run.

Cue that was a cup and knockout and that's different etc.

He cashed out

He sold out on our dream
 
His support was unwavering from start to finish.

He didn't cash out. Did he?

Of course it's different, Klopps style is perfectly suited to sides that attack us as was shown in the CL time and time again. We get unstuck when teams park the bus and we don't have alternatives or depth to call on.

I'll fancy us in anyone game with our best 11, but over a season it's usually the team with the best squad that wins and we don't have that. Not even close. I'm sure most already know that but ya the easy route is to do the whole 'fuck off and suck Mourinhos cock, you aren't a real fan, you don't deserve a title", etc and all that bollox when deep down Ye all know I'm right.

I did as I would never put $6,600 on a game of football regardless of my confidence, I'm not mad.

Still thought we were gonna win and it took some rotten luck to lose it but that's Cup football.

I expect us to go one better this year.
