I think some people are getting complacent when it comes to qualifying for
the next stage of the Champs League.

Yea - I agree, it's normally a given - but not this year.

Lyon are a very dangerous outfit this year; I see us having a battle with Fiorentna for 2nd place.
Factor in the 2-0 defeat at their place and people should start to wake up from their complacency
to see we are in trouble of not getting out of the group.

Arsenal away in the Carling Cup should see us exit at that stage.

Then we have the league campaign - which could go t1ts up in the next 3 games.

We need to start pulling our finger out, and fast!

Challenging for the league and winning a cup for me. The way we just surrendered in the domestic cups last season really annoyed me. At the very least we should be in the top 3. I think the League will be won with more defeats than ever before this season as more teams will take points off each other.

I'm very much pro Rafa and have been from the start and will be until the end. It's a given that we should be in the top 3 as far as I'm concerned.

Our squad, based on ability rather than wages or transfer fee were good enough to beat the likes of Hull, Fulham, Stoke, West Ham, Wigan, Boro, Everton, City last season. The fact that we didnt was an underachievement and ultimately cost us the League.
