On the other hand, I never thought Chelsea looked earth shattering last season. I don't think the White have done enough so far to make them title contenders.
I fancy a Wembley weekend again.
Oh and until we win a CL group we will face a big barrier getting past the last 16. Could see us losing to Bayern/Barca/ Madrid again at the same stage.

Agree on this. I know it's preseason and all that, but to me that Real game was quite worrying. It really showed us the same lethargic City team as last season (as soon as Delph went off). We undoubtedly have loads of quality in the squad but sometimes we seem to lack bottle. I hope Kompany, Yaya and other key players step up to the plate this season, and make sure we fight for it all through to the finish line.
I want a good go at the league title, a win in a Domestic cup and improvement in the CL.

On that basis, I don't think we have enough proven firepower overall and, because of this, the best I feel we can hope for is third place in the League.
I'd also like to see us put in a bit of a cup run (especially if we were to play a load of youngsters in the League Cup), in either of the two competitions and I'm not bothered about the Champions League because, in it's present format, it's totally fabricated and rigged against us; so much so that it's nothing more than a joke.

Blimey that is a bit pessmimistic. I went for us winning the league simply based on what I see as potentially a more balanced squad with a bit more pace upfront, even if we don't sign anyone else. Totally agree with you on the CL, I really couldn't give a toss!
