How I wish I'd at least seen the highlights of the Man U game... It'll be interesting to see who we sign in the summer, we'll have to try and get the right balance between power and technique or else we'll either be no stronger in the prem or weaker in europe. After the Man U game it seems nothing's changed since all the other defeats, except the players have maybe lost interest in the prem a bit with reaching the CL semi's...

We'll probably have to spend at least £20m in the summer to challenge for the title - if we keep Henry, though at this point I think we should... Quite a gap has opened up between us and the top 3 and I think van Persie and maybe Adebayor have been left behind a bit development-wise by some of our other youngsters since they haven't played much, if at all, in our CL run...

I think Liverpool have a better chance than us to be honest, though if Chelsea sign Ballack and maybe a top striker or 2 (which won't be easy though) they'll be very hard to stop. And I think Liverpool will struggle more than Chelsea to sign a top striker of course, Mourinho doesn't have an amazing record signing strikers, but neither does Rafa of course, in this country at least...

Mind you, sounds like Adriano might be available in the summer, Inter are surely the Newcastle of Serie A, and Serie A's not up to much...

Wenger's doing his usual trick of denying he wants anyone in the positions most Arsenal fans want strengthening, saying he's not after a central defender, and ruling out Diarra last summer, I have a horrible feeling he'll go to Man U and surely strengthen their midfield... He ruled out Yaya Toure too, makes you wonder what area's he is planning to strengthen... I'd quite like some more firepower, a centre forward perhaps, and Riquelme, haha...

But I don't think Sol has much more to give and dunno if Senderos will learn to cope with the likes of Drogba... We definitely need more power though, but at least we can move Lauren back into midfield with the emergence of Eboue and Gilbert, once he's back from injury...

Do people who saw the Man U game think I should be more optimistic for the prem next season then??
