    I think we do have enough quality to match them, in most cases. Obviously we have an issue in a couple of key areas and these will certainly come home to roost as they season develops. But there's enough quality and cover elsewhere to give anyone a run for their money.

    But as you say, the manager. A massive handicap we have to carry into every game. Over 38 games it's unlikely an impediment that significant can be overcome on enough occasions to get the points required to win a title. All the idiot had to do was dig in that cash mountain and bring in another couple of players, but as the last 10 years show Wenger knows best.

    Can we win the league this season? No. That will not happen. The manager is one reason and an extension of that is of course the personnel we have in the squad. Too many players still learning roles, playing out of position leaving it too unbalanced to be used effectively. There is a reason why this same squad consistently fail to beat the better teams in the league and Europe and there is not a single sign that has changed. What we will continue to do is beat the lesser teams, which will be enough to position us in the top four. We just don't have the tools to achieve anything more than that and that is a damning indictment of how poorly Wenger has chosen the players with so much resources available to him. At least 3/4 players in our 'best' first eleven have to changed.

    From what I've seen of us so far this season we will be scrapping for top 4, we're miles away from looking like a title challenger and unrecognisable from the team that finished last season so strongly. We look a bit of a mess TBH. I personally don't think we will even come close to winning a title again under Wenger, he builds unbalanced squads, lots of guile not enough guts. This season will be a re-run of previous seasons, why should it be any different? He's not addressed any of the problem areas in the team.

    No. He's unelectable. We should appoint Liz Kendall instead.

    Would you say the same from what you've seen of Chelsea so far this season?
    If not, why not?

    I don't know what world you live in but it should be obvious why not.

    What does the question have to do with Chelsea? and can you kindly refrain from mentioning them in everyone of your posts. You must be that person Mourinho says is obsessed with Chelsea.

    Yes, but Chelsea are Champions, they know how to win titles. Chelsea have their own problems this season but they still strengthened what was an already very strong squad, a title winning squad.

    Ok, but you said 'from what you've seen so far this season'.
    If that's what you're judging us on than judge other teams in the same way. And on that basis City are champions elect, us and Chelsea are nowhere.
    Past history is relevant of course but our past history shows we're capable of much better than we've seen so far this season, as are Chelsea.
