Title contenders? Not really honestly. I have a feeling that United will take it

 

[Blynd1]

Sooner or later they will be title contenders.

The way they are playing and the way Redknapp has shaped the team, I can see them outstripping Arsenal in a few years time if you look at each side's form over the past 2 seasons or so

unlikely. once arsenal pay off the stadium debt they will be an unstoppable financial force. you cant really use 2 seasons form to shape it, arsenal have been there for more than two years for one thing anyway

 

[Jak]

They have good strenght in depth but if they can get a real goal scoring striker then they will be contenders.

Arsenal have been better over the last 2 seasons, lets not get carried away, lol. still, it shows how a good manager changes a team. however, if we can safely say arsenal will not win or properly challenge untill they get a few defenders,goalkeeper etc, we can also say untill spurs get rid of players like chief suspect 'assou-ekotto' they also will be 4th or thereabouts.

Don't agree with you there mate.

Last season we were the same if not better. Blackpool are probably the most improved.

Blackpool I support them i think to many teams are thinking there going to be a walk over next season will be the test for them

For tottenham Last season I wasnt worried about them against us but this if any could cause an upset it will be tottenham I think chelsea,arsenal and man city need to be careful from now on

The thing is with the amount of players they have they kind of have a champions league wage squad. So they will have to try and qualify for the CL on a regular basis other wise they will lose quite abit of money.

Champions League wage squad?

I assume you think we're paying our players a very high wage then?

Levy has a wage cap in place and we pay no more than 70k ish a week.

May have got the wrong end of the stick here though,

I mean as in your squad depth, you have a massive first team squad proberly the biggest in the PL. So if all of them are on 30-40k plus that could add up to Chelsea or Man Utd wage bill if you get my drift.
