15th -16th - we are more likely to get points against the big boys , but will drop points against the other 14 which will cost us a few places in the table
I honestly don’t think it’s that fanciful. Palace are currently there just 4 points ahead of us and we totally outplayed them a couple of weeks ago.
Norwich, Watford, Bournemouth, Villa, West Ham, Burnley, Newcastle, Southampton, Palace, Sheffield United, Everton - personally I think we’re better than all of those and should be looking to finish above them which would put us in 9th.
Better than Sheffield United? better than Everton? no we are still lagging behind them both, (especially now Ancelotti is at the latter). The Potter revolution may have started, but like Rome, it will take a while to reach it's conclusion.
13th or 14th for me come the end of the season, and that will be just fine, for now.
Wilder has done a brilliant job but they are definitely punching above their weight and promoted sides regularly start well before tailing off in the second half of the season. I expect them to start dropping and believe we are a better side than them, yes.
Everton have some talented players but they’re not a balanced team and they’ve got some real weaknesses. Ancelotti will probably improve them but I’ve seen enough in us to think we’re still a better side than them.
No idea it’s a very close season. I’d be happy with 16th but hope for top 10
Top ten? Your dreaming again Icy.
What has caused you to be more optimistic?
14th our highest finish since being promoted
same as before a ball was kicked... 12th
I'm fairly certain that was my guess. Wasn't there a poll or something before/at beginning of the season?
