I didn't bother applying as I thought we'd qualify after the Copenhagen game When I finally tried to get tickets they'd all gone

I applied for City tickets but never got them

The thing is, in the prawn butty enclosure is if you start shouting people get pissed off. It's a football match for gods sake, that's what you do. It's terrible.

Could have done without having to get a result against these really. No reason why we shouldn't though.

Can see you winning this TBH, but it would be nice to see you go out once again!

If you did go out then you'd 100% win the league. The only reason I can see you not doing is becuase youve a small squad that will get tired towards the end of the season, but without the Champions League game then you might be OK!

Still though

you do though

I think you'll win the league (with no injuries) but you havent really got a load of top quality cover if players get injured or tired later in the season.

15 players out on loan, the current available squad is through choice. How many strikers do Chelsea have? 3? Man United have 5, 6 if you include Larrson.

Yeah but the majority of your subs arent really quality players.

After Rooney and Saha you have Smith and Ole...two players who are coming back from serious injuries and wont play their best this season. Larsson will add to it, but its only for 10wks, and Rossi is just a young kid with no experience.

You midfield of Scholes, Ronaldo, Carrick and Giggs is good. All top players. But get two injuries in there and your getting people like O'Shea, Richardson or Fletcher coming in who if your honest arent top class players.

Defence you've got Neville, Ferdinand, Vidic and Heinze (or whoever) and once again these are all good players. But after that you've little top class cover if one or two of these get an injury or need a rest due to amount of games later in the season.

Evra is an amazing defender, you missed him out, seems to be the favourite over Heinze. Don't forget Park in midfield too, currently injured.

Agreed though, we could do with a couple more midfielders and strikers for if the unthinkable happens. I can see him bringing in some big guns in midfield and another striker though.
