I think Man United will end up winning again. Man City doesnt have the psychological strength as yet imho. I would like to see Liverpool do well, and QPR 
Balotelli is a clown with megalomania, Tevez is an ungrateful prat....I mean wtf? He makes hundred of thousands of pounds per week and whines about his family being in Argentina and that he wants to be closer....why doesnt he bring his family over if he misses them too much, I am sure he can afford the best private tutors. In his case "closer to home" means Madrid lol.
Too many players with questioable characters and loyalties.
The Man City egregore is weak and cannot prevail.

it's gonna be again between Man Utd and Chelsea, Man city is not a team is like Real Madrid a bunch of individuals together but not a team.
To build a real team is a long process, Barca is an example, it started many years ago with van Gaal and later with Rijkaard.
Man utd are on the similar road.

Van Gaal destroyed Barcelona he didnt start anything.
Man City are playing really good lately and Djeko with Aguero seem to adopt really good.
Toodaloo Motherfuckers!!!!! |

yeahh right, and the one who gave them a title after so many years, the one who did made debut of xavi - iniesta, and anyway the structure of this team is Johan Cruijff.
the same as they did with Ajax in 95/96/97

City has a monster team for this year.
Yaya is kicking ass, Dzeko's last game was remarkable, not to mention Aguero in good shape and Tevez willing to play some football.
Mark my words: Manchester FTY!
But still: YNWA!!

Two more important signings that are not in the initial post:
- Sebastian Coates - Nacional URU to Liverpool (around £8 mi)
- Nasri - Arsenal to Man City (around £21 mi)
Looks like the Gunners are doomed!!
Two of their best TWO players left. Good luck Wenger. |

Yup.
I feel sad cause I really like him.
But since KD spent around £60mi with Henderson, Downing Adam and now Bellamy, not to mention that Skipper should be back on the next game. So I'd be tough for him to get a spot.
YNWA!

And Kolo Touré is now back from suspension on "juicing up" charges. He took a pill his wife gave him for laxative reasons. Ironically his name in greek means ass (from what I read in an article)

Our skipper is back!!
We had an advantage since the red card was a bit harsh imo.
But the Reds played a good match, specially on the 2nd half after the subs (Bellamy and Skipper).
YNWA!
