Turner, I reckon West Ham will finish above City next season, and if they don't, I'll donate £20 to a charity you name.....if they do, I'll name the charity you can donate £20 too...

Turner would be more than happy to up that bet for them to be champions.

Really?

Ill have to say this....and I am no gloater (not Goater)

City have made steady progression since the turning point. Zabbaletta  and Kompany

People think City are here because they bought the league, but these 2 have been here 8 years

It started then. We have got better and better over 8 years.

This season is an anomaly. Leicester win and teams that hang on for the last 15 years get relegated. West Ham and Spurs have exceptional seasons but its in the context of the Anomaly.

They are having great seasons with points that would put them 5 places lower usually. They are not really having such a good season as it looks. Next year the Anomaly will not repeat.

I dont even see City as the top 4 due to the past we suffered. But 2 titles, and finishing in the top 4 for the last few years kinda says we are.

The Top 4 is being borrowed by teams who normally dont get close. Chelsea will flourish, UTD will, Arsenal and  City will. Leicester, West Ham, Spurs and Liverpool will be in the top 5 to 8

Im not even sure Leicester will make 11 or 12

They have had no injuries, no competitions (only 1) and no competition from the top 4, 5, 6

And will they keep their players?

[Priyanka]

UTD will

Hmmmm.... Do you really think so? I cant really see how..

  OK, I need to KTF!!

My comment was slightly tongue in cheek, and I take on both your points about City steadily building, and this year being a complete anomaly.

I think with the new injection of cash, there will be real levelling out of some of the “bigger” teams, and the manager/coach, is going to be an even more vital role than ever before. I feel the likes of West Ham, Spurs, and Liverpool have a bit of an advantage at the moment, in terms of being slightly ahead, I guess it’s what they all do over the summer that counts...

By the way, I’ve always had a soft spot for City, as well as West Ham. My first ever football strip was the Man City away red/black number. Cos of the old firm bile which existed back then, and actually still does, probably be even worse now with recent events surrounding Rangers, my parents didn’t want to get me a Celtic strip, as it could lead to be getting the odd “kicking” from people where I lived at the time.
