Will the absence of European football help us in the league and the cup!

The absence of European football I think will help our domestic chances but in all honesty I think 4th is best we can hope for in the league.
To achieve that we need to finish in front of Arsenal and Tottenham, I can't realistically see us finishing in front of Utd, City and Chelsea.
As for the cups we have as good a chance as anyone, with a bit of luck in the draw.

Not yet - two or three more right signings and yes we can

pretty much
We still need to address the defence, also get a winger in to add a bit of variety in attack. I think an extra bit of flair in attack would be great but we're probably already looking a bit full in that area of the pitch

How can people say No to this?
The question is, can we win trophies... not can we win the league. Birmingham won a trophy last season and are in the Championship now.
So, can we win trophies? Yes. Can we win the league? Not very likely

QPR can also win a trophy. So can Bolton, Stoke and Blackburn.
I dont think the point of the thread was to consider whether we had any sort of probability of winning a trophy or not.
Based on the players we have atm, we aren't favourites for any of the competitions we are in.. For the FA cup, we'd have to get a pretty favorable draw to go out and win it. I dont think we have a chance in the league, and the carling cup is not a competition any of the big sides care much for.
So the simple answer is no, we're not good enough !

Er, we WIN the Carling cup this season.

I think we can. If we sign a couple more decent players, then I'd say it's all about consistency. We aways play well against the top clubs, the ones that are hard to beat, so if we do that again this year and stay more consistent against the worse teams, why can't we win league? With the current squad that won't happen, but if we sign a few decent players than I definitely won't count us out.

The skanks scraped the league with luck and cheating. Purple nose is sh'itting himself now that KK, the only person who gets the better of him, is back. His team is in transition and wont be able to handle the pressure this season. Rooney is the english Messi? Yeah right. Hahahahahahah
Chelsea have a new, young, green manager and a bunch of pensioners. This means they will have to either go with what theyve got and fail again or disrupt the whole system and start again. They also have an egotistical owner who brings instability with his interfering and obsession with the CL.
Arsenal are basically fu'cked with nearly all their major players wanting out. Even if they stay their hearts wont be in it. Wenger is too stubborn to change and his methods dont work any more
City will have the same ego problems with the players because they are over paid and prima donnas. Tevez wants out, Ballotelli is a pr'ick, etc, etc. Mancini is not strong enough to dominate his divas and considering the money spent and players brought in they should have pi'ssed the league last season.
Spurs wont do as well as last season where we virtually gifted them 5th spot in our game against them. There are rumblings with Modric and Bale unsettled and wanting away and Arry is a loose cannon who wants the england job
So
We can win the double or even the treble this season without a doubt
