Yes. Personally I think we will fall short of winning the league. I think Chelsea and Manchester City have so much depth in their squad that they'll have an edge over us as the season goes on. It might even be better that we exit the Champions League in the group stage as opposed to having those tiring and all consuming matches in February. Traditionally we've picked up quite a lot of injuries in those and had a confidence blow. It would be better to have entire weeks off whilst Chelsea, City and United have to deal with those games instead.
I do think Arsenal are where Dortmund were at a few years ago. There is some obvious promise there and if we can keep the squad and manager together. Let some of the other younger players mature in the way Ramsey and Gibbs have done (mostly Chamberlain and Jenkinson) add a striker we'll have a shot next year or the year after. As long we challenge in that time I'll be happy.
