Win super cup but lose charity shield is my call.

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 don't think Newcastle has strengthened enough to compete both in the PL and CL. I think they will struggle to make top 4.

I am a bit worried a bit Liverpool. They still need some more depth in midfield, but they brought in some good high energy players. I think they will get back to Klopp's patentet gegenpressing on top level. Probably won't be enough to win the league (they might still struggle against teams sitting back), but I think they'll do well and have good cup runs.

I'm still buzzing that we are European champs!!

"You'll never sing that" ..... How fucking stupid do they look?
Anyway
I reckon we might even go for everything this season...
Especially now we have Yosko G
But personal wants
Prem... Top priority
CL... Prove it's not a fluke
Then
FA Cup.. always a proper cup..THE one when I was a kid
League Cup .... Don't matter what they call it... It's ours....

Seven teams feature in the forecasted top fours, but only Manchester City and Arsenal feature in all 26.

In terms of who will win it, City are overwhelming favourites with 25 votes, while the Gunners get the other one.

Overall predicted ranking, using all 26 BBC predictions
1. Man City 2. Arsenal 3. Man Utd 4. Liverpool =5. Chelsea =5. Newcastle 7. Aston Villa
103 pts 74 pts 36 pts 33 pts 6 pts 6 pts 2 pts
(using system of 4 pts for a 1st place, 3 pts for 2nd, 2 pts for 3rd and 1 pt

All but one predict we will win it again

A fair point. They're in Pot 4, and possibly the worst thing that could happen to them in terms of stretching their squad for limited reward is finishing 3rd in their group, and parachuting into the Europa. That's a very realistic scenario.

To be fair 40 points would be a start
Then the premiership
Then the champions league
Super cup and that world club
And that would be fine by me

April 13th send Luton Town back to the Championship. I’ve waited a long time for this.

Win 4 EPL in a row. Another record that nobody else has and will be fun seeing Arteta explode after spending all that money.

Super cup and WCC would be nice as we’ve never won them.

Anything else is a bonus.

Sheff U finishing bottom. Their squad is weaker than the one promoted. Luton to go, the earlier the better and Everton are my three for relegation. Moving to a new ground may hinder them. Takes a while to make a new home a fortress.
