[ENG] Premiership 2010/2011 (7 Viewers)

I think people write off Manchester United too soon. They'll do fine.

I don't see Man Utd being weaker than last season, so they should challenge for the title at the very least.

I just expect good show by other Manchester, it would be retarded if they miss out top 4.

That's how to put Man City in their place.

Man City were cool when Bojinov was around i.e. for about 33 minutes.

was it that late on? i thought it was like 33secs into his man city career?

The ironic thing is if he knew the geographic locations City are the only team in Manchester.

But some say they can't fight and they are weaker...maybe, I just don't see it that way.

 

[Dostoevsky]

Well there are City and United in the EPL.

I don't care if there are 30 other Manchesters out there.

Old level.......the one which you mean when they used to actually win silverware? that old level.

They used to be a lot better, even if they didn't win much.

Manchester United are not based in Manchester, thats what I meant.

The only thing keeping United close to Chelsea is their manager, their squad really isn't that special.

Nah I remember both times, had to be a bit

I think we can all agree an English club wont win the Champions League this year cant we?

It is and it isn't.

Certainly their best XI is a challenger team

Van Der Faggot
O'Shea -Vidic-Ferdinand-Evra
Valencia-Fletcher-Carrick-Nani

What's the thinking behind them being weaker?

They haven't lost any good players (though Giggs and Scholes are a year older).

They've had a year to get used to not having Ronaldo.

And they've signed the Mexican guy, who looks like he could become one Hell of a goal scorer, with the right guidance (which he should get from Fergie and by training with Owen).

I don't see why Chelsea can't win it.

I don't see why Chelsea can't win it.

They wont.

Barca/Madrid will win it.

I think Chelsea may be a bit iffy in central defence without Carvalho.

Terry is inconsistent and needs a mobile partner to cover for him.

Without Carvalho, they don't have a player to do that, unless Ivanovic moves to CB permanently, though they would then miss him at right back.

They may well still win the league, but I wouldn't really fancy them to win the CL.

Nani is inconsistent even though he can be devastating when at his best. Carrick was terrible last season, he's rather lethargic too. I'm not sure about Fletcher he seems to have developed into quite a good player. I'm not sure if Rio is still up for it.

I do rate Valencia highly though. Vidic is obviously a great defender, Rooney and Evra are great players for their position too.

I'd say United's squad is less than Inter Milan, Real Madrid, Barcelona and Chelsea though.

Rooney almost singlehandedly kept United in the title race last season, he was playing above his ability, i don't think he can emulate neither his form nor his goalscoring exploits this season.

If Rooney has a solid season (~20 goals), Man Utd can still do well.

However, they do need other players (Berbatov and Owen) to contribute more.

Like I say, though, I see the Mexican doing well and chipping in with quite a few goals.

I don't see why Real are considered bigger favorites than Chelsea.

They may well still win the league, but I wouldn't really fancy them to win the CL.

Why would they be without Carvalho? I agree with your point about Terry needing Carvalho beside him though.



As for the CL, I don't usually like to predict who will win the CL, normally i just think of 2-3 teams that are most likely to win it. For me Chelsea is one of those teams. They have a strong squad, and Ancelotti has a proven track record in the CL, if he gets his tactics right, he may surprise a few people and win the competition. I fully expect them to make it to the latter stages this season.
