Lets put a realistic sense on this:
1. Man Ure are winning, albeit just, but no playing well, which looks ominous in itself.
2. Chavski look good.
3. We have lost the last three in all competitions.
4. We have already lost more games this season than we did in the whole of the last one.
5. We're 8th in the league!
This is starting to change my slant on what we should be aiming for from this season. I'm starting to think perhaps, as we are stuttering in the league, we should perhaps change our focus to the Champions League and win a major trophy, rather than win nothing.
It is going to take a huge effort and change in fortune for us to get back up with the Mancs, although it is possible. We were the last the last team to win the league after loosing 4 of the first 9 games. However, that was back in like '63 when it was still 2 points for a win. But I am willing to give it 'til Xmas and see where we are then before i say we can't win the league this season.
I'm hoping we could have a bit of money to spend in January if the Prince can pump some money into the club. Which could just help us along the way. Saying that, I am loosing all faith i put behind Babel in the last couple of weeks, so we should get some money for him while we can still get something. Get some money from Voronin and we're on the right lines to enough money to buy some quality.
Maybe, just maybe, we will have to make some tough decisions and sacrifices to gain something this season?
