I wish they could have picked up Fabregas. With him, I think they are a lock for a top-2, but I think you're right that they are probably going to finish 2 or 3 behind Chelsea and/or ManCity.
I haven't really found another team to root for, it's usually like Duke and UNC basketball, in which case I always root for Duke (ManU), and always root against UNC (Chelsea/ManCity). I used to like Spurs with Dempsey and I still have a little bit of a feeling for Tim and Everton, but otherwise, I'm mostly meh outside of ManU. I do hope that Jozy does well at Sunderland. Maybe that's a middle-of-the-pack team I can get behind.
I am struggling with the ManU-Rooney saga as I root for ManU and Rooney is my favorite player. I wish he would stay and be happy, but it doesn't sound like that will happen, so it may be better if he is off to Chelsea. That, of course, leaves Chelsea as a much more likely champ or top 2 finisher.
“Those two kids, they’re champions,” Krzyzewski said of his senior leaders. “They’re trying to teach the other kids how to become that, and it’s a long road to become that.”
