Not with that much certainty, it stops being an opinion when you state it as fact.

I reckon the online representation of the fan-base would halve all but overnight.
Stadium attendance would take a hit, but I think we've enough true SUPPORTERS to see us through a dark spell.
City are bunch of slippery, oily cunts so maybe simplest if they just convene there.
I support every part of that sentiment, but "bigging ourselves up" as bigger than e.g. RM, Barca or whoever is transparently lacking a certain credibility....
We were very close to Liverpool and Mancity until we went on a run suddenly of not winning - just ran out of gas due to injuries.
We want get the injuries next season so provided we keep the same squad, replacing sure necessary and even adding too - and not have the post WC injuries - we should be not far from both this coming season.
Just seemed like you only noticed someone wrongly thinking we would be worse.
We don’t have to say we are bigger than Barca just that we are big and have a great future. We are now arguably also in a stronger league than them with a much better stadium and training ground and hell we are RM’s feeder club anyway, the best finishing school in the business.
That would be a Backward step at the moment. Would only go to Man Utd for £££. I actually believe it isnt mainly about the money with him.
Oh Come on..... If we hadn't been decimated by injuries, we'd have a) finished at least a lot closer to Liverpool (we were in the proverbial title mix at the turn of the NY) and b) waaaay above Chelsea.
That's not blind faith, that's an entirely reasonable assertion.
If they were still 100% certain after last year I would be calling them up on it too. Live and learn, and at least let the lessons give humility.
I think liverpool will be a bit worse next year. City about the same. The other 3 all depends on who they keep & sign. & obviously Chelsea depends on who they make manager too. Basically a lot of uncertainty about the other 3. I expect Liverpool & City to be a level ahead of them again. We need 3 or 4 good signings to reach that level I think. We shall see...
salad to RM would be fantastic
Who is going to pay £200m or more for Neymar, I would be interested to see.
OK you got involved and went on a tangent for zero reason, you cant then throw your toys out the pram... Well you can but its a bit weak
20 points is only 7 games. Having a team stay fit for a whole season is huge. Chemistry is tip-top, best players are actually playing. Competition for places... Morale stays high and no one has to fight back to form. It's a big psychological advantage.
Though, I do agree that we probably wouldn't have finished above them. But it would have been *much* closer.
Interesting that.
Clearly not moving for money as they would throw him silly money we would struggle to match. They could still beat any contract we put on the table, especially if they shift Pogba and Sanchez this summer.
I don't think RM or Barca are coming in for him this summer, especially not RM with their current outlay, so I reckon he will pen a new deal come august. They will struggle to offload many unwanted players this summer due to wages and the same reason will prevent any coming in as p/ex for Erisken.
Who can even afford & would want neymar? Madrid already spent about 300m. Would Barca take him back? Too costly for juve. Not a pep type player. United could probably afford him but can't see him going there. Otherwise pogba for neymar swap!

That’s fair . And actually we’re not a fan base fuelled by jingoism and the like
We were right in the mix on merit at one point
Off to China he goes
