Next season...

Analysts put the figure Man Utd stands to lose at about 20M pounds, judging by how far they have reached in the past 4 season - that is a creative midfielder we could have bought with that money. Still, I think David Gill should coerce Fergie to buy or eventually stamp his foot.

Picture this - first 6 games with Anderson n Cleverley (Cleverley got injured in the 5th game against Bolton)in EPL = Goals scored = 21;Goals conceded = 4;Ronney = 9 goals. The rest, as they say, history.

We have conceded in half of the games where Vidic was missing and kept 8 clean sheets when he played, so we're f***ed, seeing as he'll likely be out for the rest of the season with cruciate ligament knee injury.

I think the only realistic title we should focus on is the EPL and ensure the back 4 is constant - Smalling, Jones, Rio, Fabio/Evra - like someone pointed out, Evra is a liability nowadays and seems to get away with it.

Fergie will play weak sides in Europa and FA 3rd round so we're out of those.

As for CL, I'll support Napoli the underdog for now

@smano, you say Fergie will play weak sides during FA Cup 3rd round. I disagree. Last season's 3rd round, we were paired with Liverpool. It was a strong line up that only missed VDS, Vidic and Rooney, I guess coz of injury. Fergie never played a weak side coz of the magnitude of the tie.

Likewise, I don't expect the same to happen this time round, more so because he knows the fans want something big to nurse their wounds, having seen the team out of the Carling Cup and out of UCL. Against Man City, expect a strong lineup.

The best for Arsenal is just to avoid the Italian teams and the Russians. Napoli and AC are not easy to beat whereas travelling to Russia midweek and to play in extreme weather conditions is not fun.

Arsenal ALWAYS unlucky!
