I can see us being better than last season, as long as we keep the majority of the squad injury free for most of the season.

Hopefully David Silva as well.

Being champions is what matters most to me! I love the gold badges on the sleeves! A day out at wembley is always great, I really hope we stuff arsenal and start the season well. Not bothered about the champions league at all, the thought of the corruption and dodgy ref decisions gets me pissed off just thinking about it!
Hopefully jovetic can have a great season, see some of the younger players come through and keep the spine of our team fit for the majority of the season!

Last season was the best ever in our history. To match it would be some achievement, let alone surpass it.
That said, we have a stronger squad than last season. We have some cracking young lads coming through, one or two who might make it to the first team over the course of the season. Pellegrini has had a season to get to grips with the the rigours of a prem campaign. The future promises to be great, probably surpassing the 30s and late 60s early 70s.
Next season I'd love to see the title again with a cup thrown in for good measure. However, Chelsea will be a tough nut to crack and though Arse, dippers and rags won't win it, they will have a say in who does. We will start as champions though and slight favourites. I can guarantee there wont be any side that gets anything less than a damn tough game against us and any games we lose wont be given up easily.
The champions league could be an achilles heel if we progress to the latter stages but thats life. It's tough at the top. We have to get used to it and this is where last season will have benefitted Pellegrini in the respect of squad rotation.
Though winning champions league would be great, peronally, I'd rather have a repeat of last season. Whatever happens, it promises to be another top season

I wonder if they'll be using boxing gloves or knuckle-dusters, or both ??

I've just been looking at the Ladbrokes Premier League Special betting slip. It features a section 'Without the Big 7'. That's a third of the league taken out. If I understand it right you are betting on who finishes 8th. I quite fancy Sunderland at 9-1. They have Sothampton at 11-2 which I think is optimistic.
They also have Dzeko 14-1 and Jojo 50-1 to be top scorers. They must be worth the odd pound at those odds.

I do hope someone has a nice banner for the liverpool game calling them chokers or something similar, I can see that game being very tetchy from the candlepool support. Especially when the Steve Gerrard song is sang at them.

Thing is re injuries. The season we won the league the first time we were freakishly lucky with the low number of key injuries we had.
Last year was the opposite and we had a ridiculous number of key players missing for both extended periods and at key points.
If we have a "normal" amount this season it gives us a much stronger squad to compete on all fronts.
I want the league again. Everything else is a bonus
