Do people feel confident about this?
I'm going to be perfectly honest here, I want us to win something quickly as in the back of my head I have fear that it will all go pear shaped sooner or later. Just like it always does for us.

I voted yes we will win titles - I actually think once we start we will go on and on - but I also concur with your view that we should win something asap - the sooner we start the sooner we dominate - but we won the lottery - the Sheik is the real deal and in the modern world where money is tight nothing will stop him/us - although the powers that be will try with new regulations in UeFA and PL

You won't win the title until you've got a fully-functioning defence (as well you know).
Given's a very good keeper, but you got had over by Arsenal and Everton, imho, and need to rebuild your CB partnership. It is some distance behind the present top 4 in terms of concentration and ability.
Wayne Bridge was poor for you before he got injured too.
I still think you'll come 4th this year, mind.

We haven't actually had a settled back 4 or even a settled CB partnership though. Every few games it changes due to injury. It looked like it was coming together v Chelsea then was a different line up for the next two games & got shuffled ever since. Lescott has only just come back.

Yeah, but am I right or wrong to assume that Toure and Lescott were purchased in order to play together in a CB pairing? That's the point that I was making; they're not title-winning standard, either individually, or as a pair.
