Who do you think will win what this season?

I am of course talking about the PL, CL, FA Cup and Carling Cup.

As a bare minimum for each competition I hope Arsenal win the Carling Cup, finish in the top 2 in the league, get revenge on Barca in the CL and avoid getting any more of our top players injured or worn out in the FA cup. I think we should use our youngsters in the latter against anyone outside the top 4 or 5, it would be obvious one to sacrifice if need be.

In fact I think I'd rather we won the Carling Cup than progress in the CL or FA Cup, just so they can get that monkey off their back and hopefully push on to win the league, those should be the priorities this season.

Someone feel free to post up the run ins for the top teams in the league!

perfectly reasonable targets for arsenal there, except revenge against barca

league: united
champs league: barca (i'm hoping united of course)
f.a. cup: any of the top four
carling cup: arsenal

yeah that's a sound set of predictions, numeric. can't really see anyone beating barca in the champions league, or man u in the premiership. the two english cups are more open, though. don't see chelsea winning anything this year, thank f*ck.

hope to see arsenal win at least something.

Man U have a much tougher run in than Arsenal though, from what I can tell - we've played Chelsea and City home and away and been to Old Trafford and Anfield.

United on the other hand still have to play Chelsea home and away and go to Anfield - who have both strengthened quite a bit, plus United have to come to the Emirates and play City soon, not sure if that's home or away.

I think our away form is the best in the league and we seem to have just about sorted out our home form, so if we can win the Carling cup and use that as a spring board I think we'll have a great chance of winning the league.

Of course just as Arsenal seem to have just about sorted out our home form, United seem to have sorted out their dodgy away form - hopefully that won't last though! Our toughest games to come are probably United at home, then Stoke away, plus we've got Spurs away to fit in somewhere.

I'd love to see Arsenal pull off the league. Got a shot at it, definitely, but if I were putting money on it...well, I might given a decent enough pt spread...probably not without, though.

league - united
carling cup - brum city, honestly reckon they will do the arse.
fa cup - everton, united if not.
CL - hopefully united but more likely barca

SPL - celtic

scottish cup - huns

im really not sure - wide open i think - any of the competitions.

Great player.
If he could have got his head right (or been luckier with his fitness, whichever opinion you have), he could have been another Andy Cole.

agreed, he's injured again now though :rutear:

united looking strong though :rucool:

What, after losing to Wolves? They look very strong at home, but a bit suspect away, to say the least.

after winning the derby actually, four points clear at the top

Hmmm, Arsenal have picked up 8 points more than United away from home, having played a game more, United have picked up 12 points more than Arsenal at home, having played a game more.

Of course United still have to visit Anfield, the Emirates and Stamford Bridge with their dodgy away form, plus have to play a game more away. Our home form's been pretty good since the turn of the year and we have one more home game than United. They still have to host Chelsea.

United's 4 point lead looks far from insurmountable when put tinto that context, especially when you consider we've got some of our best players back from injury now, with Vermaelen still to come, and the confidence we've gained from wins over Chelsea and Barca.

If we can win the CC that could be pivotal to how we do for the rest of the season, though hopefully we'll use it as a spring board even if we lose, making us more determined to win the other competitions. Likewise, if we can finish the job against Barca we'll have a great chance of winning the CL and pushing on in the Prem etc.

Shame, i was convinced Lennon was a terrible manager, threatening to transfer list everyone at the drop of a hat, I guess he's not that bad...

Nah man, we cant lose another game and thats gna be impossible tbh

Celtic are to strong going forward for Rangers and Rangers are far to weak going forward!

Nice tackle from Bartley on Brown in the opening moments though :ruwink:
