All depends on what clubs do in the transfer market.
Spurs won’t challenge. It’s not what levy and Enic want.
I imagine they will target fifth because that gets champions league next year.
But they will need at least two better cb’s before they have a chance of that
Don are you okay?

"You assume incorrectly"
Agreed, Spurs need another 2 x CB’s otherwise we will finish 8th again. Maddison signing is excellent, but it’s absolutely pointless if we continue with that trash defence
Not sure I share your opinion of Liverpool Don. Yep, good they are addressing their midfield but I think there are question marks around their defence and in particular Van Dyke. He looked to be on the decline last season for me. Let see, I could well be wrong.
Arsenal have to hang on Partey to compliment Rice or replace him adequately. But they will be in the Top 3 next season.
As for us, I really believe the noises from the rumour mill about us signing one or two CB this week are true. 🤞🏻

Yes then read the rest of the article mate. I go onto say Liverpool could well win it.
Let's see with us. We really need VVD to find some form after a poor season.
It seems that we will keep Fab and Hendo as the DM's which is not the strongest.
I do not expect Arsenal to get within 15 points of the title next season - feel free to bookmark. They did have an incredibly kind start to the season and ride the momentum well. This time the CL and teams working them out will do for them in my opinion. They will challenge for CL spots with us - probably finish above us though.
Liverpool - not sure either way, the quality is there but they dropped off so badly last season that it is difficult seeing them recover that form so quickly. If VVD gets injured then they will ship plenty. I am confident they will finish no worse than 4th but not sure whether they will truly challenge.
Newcastle - no faaacking chance, wouldn’t be surprised to see them drop to 6/7th with a Euro distraction.
Chelsea - best transfer window out of all sides so far, but that squad is still mediocre and I still can’t see where the goals are coming from. Poch took a while to settle at both Spurs and PSG - I think they will fight with Spurs and Arsenal for the 4/5 th CL spots, won’t get near City.
United - I think they will kick on, they are my bet for second, not convinced they will put City under any real pressure though.
Spurs - 5th or 6th if Kane stays. No Europe will massively benefit us and we will be pushing that last CL spot, but probably just miss out to Chelsea and or Arsenal.
City
United
Liverpool
Arsenal
Chelsea
Spurs/Newcastle
Spurs Newcastle
That’s my guess. If Spurs sign a top drawer defender then I might push us to Spurs/Chelsea in 5th

Don't worry Don mate
Sandy will be along in a tick to let you know how he expects arsenal to drop off massively after they benefitted from a very lucky run and well timed fixtures last season, he'll tell you how Liverpool have peaked, how Newcastle haven't won atrophy for longer than spurs and how man utd haven't progressed since last year
No doubt he's stuck £10 on us at 10000000000/10 on Spurs winning the Euros this season which is just easy money really
Oh and with all the positivity around Ange, I'm sure Sandy won't be so positive. He'll be sending a hand written novel to Levy about how little confidence he has in the manager, and how this is the first tike in his 150 years of supporting spurs where he doesn't understand why we've plumped for such a manager, yet he's backing the chairman indefinitely
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This is funny because it's true
We’re obviously the team to beat after our work in the transfer window.
City will be our biggest challengers.
The notion that Liverpool (perennial also-rans) could actually win something is pretty mental tbh. But after Leicester won at 5000-1, I suppose it’s not impossible

I remember when Arsenal reached the CL final. Heady days.
You never know how others will do next season Don, nor how we'll do. That's what makes it exciting I guess. Good signings so far though and if we keep Kane and get new CBs in, then I can't see how we'll do worse than last season.
No Europe could be a big factor if we end up clicking relatively quickly under Ange.
Tbh, I'm not sure how we'll do. Mac Allister is a damn fine additional to the squad imo, lots of energy and quality on the ball. Szobo might take a bit of time to settle so not expecting a huge amount next season.
I think our season might depend on three things:
(1) VVD form - he has declined but tbh his peak was so high, he can decline and still be an excellent CB. Need that form.
(2) Konate staying injury free. Get a good partnership going and we'll look a lot more solid.
(3) Fabinho remembering he's a footballer. His drop off in form last year was astonishing. There was an improvement at the tail end of the year but that improvement needs to continue.
If two or more of those 3 happen then I can see us challenging, or at least getting a good points total. Without the above, it'll be scrapping for top 4.

Someone could. City could have a lull of a season like they did a few seasons ago when Liverpool won. As it is they've got less than 90 points last 3 seasons, so one team having a really good season could overthrow them.

I agree, but it’s more about City losing it rather than someone winning it. That is unfortunately what the league is being reduced to.
Arsenal have their best league season I at least a decade yet I was calling City to win it all year and didn’t waiver once - G Nev was doing similar because when push comes to shove City can put 10 wins on the spin together and that’s a nightmare for anyone trying to challenge them.
