We fucking win the Prize™ 2013-14

Tony Montana

And the annual thread has arrived.

Now that the fixture list is out we can start thinking ahead.

As I say every year, we can tell roughly how we'll do after 10 games. Let's see who we buy.

Need 3 WC signings and lots of luck.

Just two and lots of luck would also do. But, the problem is that we'll get only one top drawer signing.

I assume one of those 'WC' signings is a striker... so you think the only way we'll win the league is if we sign one of Messi, Ronaldo, RVP, Falcao, Rooney and maybe, Ibra or Cavani?

Right? :p

To be honest Tony, we just need to give it a real go, play our natural game. Stranger things have happened. Just need to give 110% every game. Work hard. Train hard. Be true to ourselves. Just stay focused on the task at hand. Need to be confident in our abilities - mentally and physically. Take each game as it comes. No point looking too far ahead. And who knows - with a bit of luck we'll be right up there.

On a serious note, I'd say we need 3 solid signings to have a serious chance. I think 2 will result in us falling short.

This post is a counter-jinx.

If we can just find a way to get more points than anyone else i'll be pretty confident.

Don't even need more points just a superior goal difference

It's useless without the points though.

eh? May 26 1989. Didn't even have a superior goal difference. Useless?

After 10 games we need to have more than an idea. Easy first 10 games, if we don't look strong (22-24 pts at the very least) then, we'd have a hard time after that, when the real action begins. No "easy run in " this time.

It's not an easy first 10. But it is definitely indicative.

i.e. fuck yeh let's win this

If you don't have the points, the GD doesn't matter.

Biggus

If we don't get a better manager, the rest doesn't matter.

I wouldnt complain about this run in. After a very hard March this lot all seem winnable.

lorddulaarsenal

Yep a key factor in the race for fourth. We won't have any other distractions at that stage either

This thread is my favorite stage of groundhog season.
