IMO, they will get to number 19 before us. With this ongoing trouble still not being sorted and dragging on like fuck I can't see us winning the title.

On the other hand to disagree with Rashid, I think Rafa has got more or less what he needs to win the league. A few more quality signings and we'll be up there. Just look at some of the results we've had this season, turn about 4/5 of them silly costly draws into wins and we would have been battling hammer and tongs with the top two.

Agree about the 'bigger fish' point. I just dont get it the people who think winning what is after all, a cup competition (CL), is bigger than winning your national championship, especially when you add in we're also the current record holder!

Im not convinced by a long chalk that a couple of quality signings is all that's needed to make a sustained title challenge. yes, they would go a long way to helping but I also think the desire of those players to win, especially when the chips are down so to speak and, tactics away from home will have as big an impact, if not more so, in making that challenge realistic.
