5th wouldn't be bad, but I believe we'll do better.
Champions League, eh?5th wouldn't be bad, but I believe we'll do better.
Here's what the expert statisticians are predicting:
Man City 85 points
Arsenal 76
Newcastle 75
Livepool 69
Brighton 67
Man Utd 64
Brentford 59
Spurs 59
A Villa 54
Chelsea 49
Fulham 48
West Ham 48
C Palace 46
Burnley 41
Everton 39
Wolves 37
Nottm F 37
Sheffield Utd 36
Bournemouth 35
Luton 30
I like the fact that they've got us finishing above Man U. That's going to annoy a lot of people.
I would be delighted with 9th or 10th. Next season will be much harder than last.I think, until we have a squad sufficient to compete both domestically and in Europe, 9th or 10th wouldn't be too disappointing next season. Teams like Chelsea and Spurs will improve, unfortunately. Bottom three for me will be Wolves 18th, Bournemouth 19th and rock bottom will be Crystal Palace!
Chelsea have got a striker. Not sure there’s much else about them that suggests instantaneous massive improvement. They’ve offloaded a lot of experience and now have a huge amount of unproven talent - players who will quickly come under massive pressure if they don’t perform: not an atmosphere that’s conducive to development like Brighton. It could go either way.Who are these expert staticians predicting Chelsea to finish on 49 points, us above MU, and Brentford on 59 points above Spurs, Villa and Chelsea? Imo very unlikely those 3 will happen. Chelsea will be miles better next season and tough for the likes of us to finish above let alone Brentford; MU will improve again under Ten Hag; surely Brentford with their bash street kids style football will drop off; and we have Europe to play in so 5th is very unlikely imo. Expert staticians my arse!
Don’t think RDZ would agree.Some people waaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyy way way way too confident after last season. 17th+ is still decent enough!
Where is that prediction from - and who are these 'expert statisticians? Because it looks absolute bobbins. Don't get me wrong, I'd take it, but just can't see that happening.5th wouldn't be bad, but I believe we'll do better.

First sentence is fair enough. The second is pure bollocks.Some people waaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyy way way way too confident after last season. 17th+ is still decent enough!
Well staying up is the main thing every season and the first target so don’t consider it ‘pure bollocks’ myself. Top half should always be the aim now of course, but staying in the league is the main aim to start for me.First sentence is fair enough. The second is pure bollocks.
Fair enough to expect a drop off but we are not expecting to flirt with relegation.
