we could win the league this season, nothing is impossible, but the chances we will are slim IMO
the 'other' three already had better, more expensive and experienced squads and then they flexed their financial muscles and spent again
their respective boards probably realised their rivals were gonna strengthen, especially with our takeover, and decided they needed to take it up another level.
football is business, big business.
big businesses need to make big money, and they've invested heavily.
we havent spent as heavily. full stop.
Apart from arsenal, (which incidently, looks like we are seeing arsene wengers long term plan coming to fruition)
man u and chelsea have added tevez, pizzaro, alex, nani ,malouda, anderson etc to their already very strong squads.
with all this in mind, i can realistically see us coming 4th this year.
in fact it wouldnt surprise me at all, but 2nd or third are definite possibilities too.
