start of the season was get out CL group and top 4
as we are now rubbish, I have revised this to good FA cup run, and top 6
I think it will be a three way battle for the title between the current top three. I think Arsenal will fade and end up battling for fourth with Spurs, with Arsenal probably clinching it. I can only see the gap between United and the teams above them growing as the season goes on.
4th is what I hope for. Still 50/50 on whether we'll get it.
I was hoping for top 3. That seems highly highly unlikely now. Realistically, I can't see us finishing above 5th, with 6th looking more likely. Performances are good enough to go on a decent run, but there's already a sizable enough gap.
1) Spurs
2) City
3) Liverpool
4) Chelsea
5) Arsenal
Push for 4th, win the League Cup and Europa League. QF of the FA Cup.
Chelsea
City
Arsenal
Liverpool
Spurs
United
Can only see Chelsea and United making the top 4 this season. Arsenal, Spurs, Liverpool and City are all too inconsistent and will miss out. Can’t see any other teams making the top 4 either. Too tight this year.
Dunno what to make of Spurs right now. Glad the BS unbeaten run is over (it meant nothing with so many draws. Everything hangs on Harry having his usual second half goal fest, Toby/Jan back together & Dele to stop believing his own hype. 4th probably our best league outcome....but I think we might make a serious run at the Europa League
Having said that, City will probably just blow through half a billion in January and 'win' it.

Hey it's a trophy and i was like a dog with 2 WhatsNames when we won it in 2013 and believe me they were both hard.
Can't see us getting 4th. The season depends on a europa league win, depressing as that is
I expected a big top 4 push, possible title run, and good in domestic cups.
So far so good.
Now I expected a top 3 place and a trophy.

Again it would mean you join a unique club. You'd complete the set.

Maybe be you are right Whalbro. Didn't have the best start to the season, top 4 it's not out of reach. But, they better start putting a string of wins together from now to the end of the season.
I still think top 6 will look like this
1. Man City
2. Chelsea
3. Liverpool
4. Arsenal
5. Man Utd
6. Spurs

My own team? I am personally hoping for 3rd now. If we were to add another defender in January, good enough to displace what we already have, I’d perhaps change that.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Fack off are you
You're hoping to win it but don't have the minerals to say it
As for my team well, its a straight out fight with Arsenal and Utd for 4th 5th and 6th.
I expect us to trot along and put in a handful of admiral performances. Being in the title race until near the end but going out of it before the final day when two or three of the others battle it out.
Cl quarters would be OK. Last 16 would be drivel

Magic i always hope we'll win it. I did even when we were managed by Ian Porterfield.
I am talking realistically here. I am not talking about romance. There is a difference.
I thought the title would between us, City, and Chelsea, so I got 2/3 of that right.
Now, I don't know really, I want to us to win the Europa, I like a bit of European glory but I'm not sure if the players are REALLY up for it, and I suppose the league will always come first.
I think the way the EFL Cup has opened out, Hull in the semi's, I'd be a tad disappointed if we didn't go on and win it, Liverpool have made a strong start but they're not invincible, despite what people to seem to think of them.
