Who will reach number 19 first?

i reckon the scum will easily get to 19 before us to be honest but I reckon we'll get to 21 before them ( as someone above said ).

 

There's also the fact that they will probably NEVER overtake us in the European Cup.

On what grounds do people think we'll get to 21 before them?

[Neil G]

Far too many unknown and as yet unknowable variables involved here to make a prediction. I'm surprised that only one person in this thread (G Richards) has acknowledged that it's not just down to the relative strength of us and the Mancs, but also of Arsenal and Chelsea as well.

 

If DIC take over in the summer, or even if G&H or just H stay and pay for some big signings with even more debt, we're definitely capable of winning the title next season. Arsenal will be real contenders if Wenger signs a couple of top-drawer players, as will Chelsea with their resources if they get a top manager. To make anything firmer than a mere guess at the poll question, you'd have to be able to confidently predict the destinies of three clubs over the next few years (I'm assuming the Mancs will maintain their strength for the foreseeable future), something that no-one on here is in a position to do.

[Heighway]

Honestly, who cares. So we're basically admitting defeat and saying we'll never ever win another league title again.

I picked the mancs,if Tagert were 2 walk away in the next couple of years though 4 whatever reason it'll b us.
