Also we denounce their nefarious attempt to make Chelsea the focus of everything bad that happens to Arsenal.
Furthermore the prediction that Tottenham will finish above us is nothing short of provocation and trollism designed to sow panic and fear.

That's 4 out of 4 for City, no one put off by their loss at Cardiff? They'd be my punt for the title too to be fair.

Lagos you grumpy old fart, you can always add your own questions you care about if you want.

I hate this bit of the transfer season, everyone's always got pre-deadline tension.

It's very evenly balanced for the title between United, Chelsea and City. For what it's worth the bookies agree, and have them at 11/4, 2/1 and 9/4 respectively.

I think the expectations and belief surrounding Mourinho are probably a little overstated and consequently his side's slightly overvalued. On the other hand, perhaps Pellegrini's lack of PL experience is a little understated.

I think that Cardiff result was a fluke. Like a lower league side in a cup match they were massively up for it and caught City on the hop. Could have happened to anyone. I just think City have so much quality through the squad and now with a good manager they'll do the job. Early season performances are always over valued too. You need 10-12 matches before you can really start to say what will happen.

@Qs I agree. Of course, after 10-12 matches of this season, one of the pretenders will probably still be up there. I think it will be an interesting tussle for the title this season.

I dunno Qs, although it was only a friendly and they mean jack shit- City have been found out a couple of times, and you have to be erm special to win the PL at your first try (as indeed Wenger sort of did) half a billion in players not withstanding.
I think it's between Chelsea and the Evil Empire.

@ Burnsy- Rodgers? La Liga? As Lagos so eloquently put it- Who gives a fuck?
Sanogo? He's just some kid starting out placed in the center of attention due to Wengers parsimony, it's not fair to place any expectation or animosity on him.
Spurs to finish above us- Seriously?

It's a prediction list, not a wishlist.

As for the Mourinho thing, everyone hates him and it's fun watching Abramovich pull the trigger on his bêtes noires. That question replaced one about Di Matteo in last year's options.

As for La Liga, predicting the outcome is a tradition.

As for the Rodgers thing, I personally hate the guy. One of my most disliked PL managers ever already.

As for Sanogo, well let's see how the kid does. Whether or not we think he's up to snuff on this board won't affect him.

And if there's anything else you think is important (say "Will Wenger get a new contract?") you can always put it in there.

¿Entende, abuelo? 🙂

City have spent a shit load of money this summer, but I'm not convinced any of those players will make a significant impact so it's actually quite deceptive. Negredo and Jovetic are not a massive improvement on Balotelli and Tevez, if at all. Navas is ok, but not a world beater. Fernandinho is another who's price tag is masking is actual ability in my opinion but time will tell on that one, I've barely seen him.

They still have the best squad but there are a few question marks surrounding the attack. Aguero, Silva, Nasri, Dzeko all have question marks with regards to their form last year and I don't think Navas, Jovetic and Negredo come with any more certainty with the performances.
