While I agree it's a shame Man United didn't sign Mahrez (I'm sure Mourinho would have made a fine right back of him) I think the top two will most likely be unchanged from last season. Probably with a smaller gap, not because I think United will be any better or City significantly worse, but because it would be so difficult for City to be as consistently good as they were last term for a second straight season.
The unknown factor is at what point of the season Mourinho's meltdown will really kick in. With Woodward overseeing things a mid-season managerial replacement does not seem likely to go smoothly. But it's here. For the first time since they appointed the horrible cunt, we're at the point where his career to date appears to give justification for hoping that he won't still be the manager in twelve months' time. The fact they'll probably get Phil Neville in the spare time he's got around the England job is a price I'm willing to pay.
