Remember the last time Liverpool were fancied to win the League? That too was a season following the World Cup...2002, we had finished 4th, 3rd and second in the seasons prior and were the "natural" choice to contend...very similar to this time around. We were leading sometime in October I think, but then we crashed and burned and finished 5th! Got to be cautious this time around with the lofty expectations....
Hardly think that is the prevailing view. Of course we go in season after season wanting to be Champions but it would be a rather dim assessment of the realities at hand. Arsenal have a dynamic youthful side that still plays the most attractive football, and when all else fails, they have Cygan, I mean Henry. Man Utd, you write off at your own peril. They went through the season losing their most influential enforcer and leader, with a patched up midfield and still finished second, ahead of us. They have always scored goals, and even without RVN, I doubt anything on that front will change. Chelsea, well yeh, what else that needs to be said that hasn't.
I just want us to win the league.
Heh heh.
