For some reason they always have horrific injury lists but usually get it together to grab fourth place by the end of the season. With our squad so strong this year and Man U strengthening Arsenal could well be the fall guy this year, their signing of Wellbeck smacks of desperation and if they dont get him scoring regulary a la Sturridge then they could well be in a spot of bother come May. I wonder has it been mentioned by the FA yet for the PL to get a fifth Champions League spot ? Its probably too soon but at the same time its obvious that the EPL has taken a giant leap in terms of competitiveness over the last three years.

Sure, United have re-enforced massively, but right now they're 4 points behind us and they look a mess.You're also making an assumption that Arsenal are a shoe in for 3rd. That's a massive assumption given how well we've been playing, the holes in their squad and their form. For me, Arsenal could very well end up becoming the Manchester United of last season (I could easily see them finishing 5th or 6th).

Welbeck could well do a good job for them but I think now we should be fighting them for 3rd and giving Chelsea and City as hard a challenge as possible for the title.

Doesn't like the thought process at the Club, and the way things are right now. He's very much in the minority with United fans that I know, though. Rest of them are out with their annual bets with the proper "Our Year" Liverpool fans, over who will win the league. Few more are betting on who finishes ahead of each other, which is a little more realistic, thankfully. Neither team are winning the league this year, IMO.Both will do very well to finish Top 4.
