Another question is, where do we deserve to finish? On merit?
Measured by first team ability we deserve to finish 2nd in my opinion (I don't think I can vote or edit).
United for all their professionalism, playing percentages and grinding out results, have scraped by this season. They are still formidable with top class players, but they're a shadow of the team that had Ronaldo, Giggs, Scholes, Nevil etc in their prime.
Chelsea, Arse, Pool are clearly all over the place, only city seem a coherent team. We deserve 2nd on merit, and I think we'll finish 2nd (it would be typical of Spurs to just miss out on the title on the last day). But if City do bottle it, and our talented first team stay fit, anything is possible. Its all about mental strength now. Its the best chance to win the league in most of our life times.
I've read a few posts today where people think we should consolidate 3rd, when on ability, we should surely be looking forward only.
