It's the best in the league. We have to endure something similar every time Roma manage to get together a decent squad. "Ours squad is actually better, Juve are just more disciplined/concentrated/better managed." Lulz.

You wouldn't have won the league this year without Fergie IMO.
Anyway, it's a moot point, we'll see how Moyes does next year! It'll certainly be interesting.

Everybody underrates our players.
Fergie instilled his hunger for titles in the current players. We're not going anywhere sons. Now give us Thiago and Fellaini.

City's squad isn't anything to write home about. I certainly wouldn't put it a level above United's. Who knows what Chelsea are going to be like next season. They could definitely challenge. In fact I expect them to.
But simply saying lol united won't win the title is foolishness. I think we'll win it next year. The years after that will be more tricky as players like Giggs and Rio retire. But we still have excellent squad depth.
Moyes's real challenge will be in three or four years time. He'll have had enough time to recruit the players he wants and then we'll see if he's developed a good enough squad.
lol
football is still life, goober
It's not a matter of missing lego blocks
You can't predict shit to a 99.9% level and call problems "solved" because you like the sound of Pellegrini
And fucking lol at describing Mou's arrival as an end to "manager issues". CAN YOU EVEN HEAR URSELF, LIGHTNING

I really want to win the league next year! I love winning it and it is the greatest feeling you can have as fan other than winning the Champions League. I can't see Chelsea winning the CL any time soon and I think it will be years before we win another one but the league next season should be close and I hope we are challenging!
I think that squad has some issues before it's certain.
I think Mourinho is guaranteed to bring in the necessary players, though.
I have my doubts this will be the fairytale reunion some think. Arsene 'voyeur' Wenger will see to that.

I wasn't exactly being serious. Not even expecting success from day one, although I have hope of it, but I certainly think Mou would make Chelsea into at least a title challenger after his first year.
I'm not trying to underplay the influence Ferguson had on us winning. He was a sensational manager and played a huge role in our success.
But at the end of the day its still the players who had to win the matches. Fergie instilled the desire to win into the squad. I don't think that will disappear when Moyes takes over.
However', its Moyes job to instil the hunger into the new players he brings into the squad. That's what sets Fergie apart from most managers.

75? Fucking Ronaldo was 80 and he had a much better season winning the CL, title, and Balon D'or.
Bale has that British tax, even for Spanish clubs.
lol
Very excited for next football season, Barcelona and Madrid should both have new coaches and exciting squads with the mix of old great players and the crazy new signings (Neymar, Bale, etc), Manchester united without ferguson for the first time in like ever, Mourinho the boss of chelsea again

Does anyone else expect an English team in next years Champions League final? I assume one will make it.
I think there'll be one in the last 4.

I'd be happy with a round of 16 game after this year :lol
I hate them, but I miss Lolerpool in the CL.

That would be glorious. Footy GAF will melt down

Europa is fine. They get to chat about "European nights", they get to brush it off if they lose, it's an excuse for their deficiencies in the league.

I don't think we'll be in the final 8.
Unless we get Heyneckes
Unless we get Heyneckes
Maybe, I do think Arsenal will make the final 4. All the other
I want it to happen.
If Wenger had any sense about him, he'll get a "spine" of players as soon as the window opens and avoid transfer muppetry. Best chance he has since he'll have a lot of stability on his side.
Agreed. But then again this is Wenger......

Semi Final:
Dortmund vs Juve
United vs Bayern
Dortmund vs Juve
United vs Bayern
I rate Phil Jagielka above Evans and Jones but below Vidic and Rio. He's a great CB. I'd say England's third best second if you're not considering John Terry.
Kid A: stylistically I think United would be a hard matchup for Bayern. It would be Bayern's game to lose still, but United's got a tighter defense and isn't so casual about keeping the ball out of their half, unlike Dortmund or Barça.
United v bayern
chelsea v juve
farca are already a bust after blowing their load on robinho 2.0 instead of improving their actual weaknesses, Madrid will be back to being round of 16 chokers post mourinho
I didn't forget. I just don't like Jones and I despise Evans.
Not so sure about this. There are many examples of players doing well under certain managers and not others. Just in recent history you can look at Pep at Barca vs Tito. AVB at Chelsea vs Di Matteo. Same players different outcome on the pitch.
Of course having Moyes, a guy who has got the similar ability to push his team further than they should be able to go, it's gonna be tough for anyone to match what froggie has been doing at United for years.

It's euros.... Ronaldo cost 96 million.
This is true. But there's also a strong core of experienced players at United who drive the team forward. Rio, Giggs, Vidic and even Evra all want this team to succeed I'm everything we do. There's going to be a big shift when Moyes takes over but I think our more experienced players will help with the transition.
To be fair it's not always that easy to sign players in a timely fashion, especially when there is considerable competition. I think Wenger had an interview about this, in which he said players will deliberately run down the clock to get better deals and more competition between clubs in transfer windows. And that's typically why so much business is done at the tail end, along with last minute decisions of course.
