Because the mancs and arsenal will no doubt strengthen as well. We got a chance this season because of Moyes. They wont make that mistake again. Arsenal will strengthen their weak areas (i.e. defence). Chelsea will add a striker and City will beef up their squad and will have another year under Pellegrini. Doesnt matter if we do well against 13 teams. In any case, we still dropped silly points against the likes of West Brom, Villa at home, Newcastle away. Get additional 4 points from those matches and things dont look too bad. We messed up our realistic chance of winning the league for some time.
