I really didn't see he treble coming last year. I thought we were due the CL, but that it would come at an expense.

For the coming season I will be more than happy with one major trophy (preferably the Premier League). We haven't really strengthened our squad, and I am sure that it will be difficult to find that hunger needed to win it all, after just having win the treble.

Expectations

Challenge on all four fronts and go deep in at least two cups and get to the final of at least one. Love to win the PL to become the first side ever to win four in a row, though I think it will be tough. Haaland to be top scorer again

Predictions

City to win the PL and one other trophy.

Wolves, Sheffield and Luton to be relegated

Expense ? we let the League Cup go. Start strong and go gung ho ,take no prisoners and if it's looking tough add extra in the winter sales.

I’ve got a feeling that if Arsenal start poorly then Arteta will be first to go. Equally the same for Poch.

I gave up on expectations for this team a long time ago. Just sit back and enjoy the ride.

Difficult to say.
I think we might struggle, so Pep's biggest task it will be to find the boys hunger once again. Don't expect much, but I would love another title to make it four in a row and get that record + European SuperCup and Club's WC.

I have zero mood for the new season to start. Is it just me?

It go either way, we could blitz it and win two major trophies as there is less pressure on Pep, he's won it all. Our rivals especially Arsenal after their spending will come under enormous pressure to deliver after spending big.

100% we are going for four in a row PL titles and defending chumps league. Could not give a shit about anything else.

Burnley staying up and everton going down would be funny. Wolves to join them along with Luton

Now that we have the champions league monkey off our back I fancy us to retain it. There will be far less pressure this time around.

Talking about managers getting the sack, Eddie Howe might find this season a lot more difficult.

Win the league and league cup double, out FA by quarters and CL out in semi.

Win super cup but lose charity shield is my call.

In a perfect world Luton, Bournemouth & Palace would disappear - in this imperfect world Sheff Utd are in such a mess they are doomed. Next season for Brentford, Brighton + any southern club then.

Pretty similar for me, except I reckon we'll lose the Super Cup but win Club World Cup.

I think the league rests on whether Arsenal will come back stronger following their collapse last season, and whether Newcastle have stepped up another gear. I think we're a fair bit weaker, and, providing we get 3 or 4 youngsters to the next stage (from the bench to occasional starter, or occasional starter to regular starter), I wouldn't be gutted if we didn't win the league.

I think I'd fancy us for everything if we get shod of Phillips for one of Caicedo/Kimmich/Lavia and add a decent RW.
