Predictions for the coming season

Well, I might be optimistic but I don’t think overly so. Surely the club have not spent over 100M just to fight a relegation battle and their aspirations are high. No, Im sticking to my guns and giving a 7th place finish. I know how to get their after all. I finish in that position every year in the VM fantasy table

That said, mid table would do just fine.

We need to be sharp from the off against Spurs, Norwich looked a bit like a rabbit in the headlights against Liverpool, the speed of play took them a bit by surprise. This is where John Terry will earn his money. We need to be fast and slick, no sloppy passing. I'm very optimistic that we have a team which can compete, but I temper this with the fact we have been here before, when we played moneyball lottery with all the french kids and went down like a lead balloon. This team is a different animal, even the new players have people they have played with before, and there is a great team spirit and work ethic. I feel we can finish between 6th -10th, and hope to finish first... but I'm still bloody terrified!

Based on the pre season we have had, the signings we have made and the fact that we have DS in charge, I would take a punt on the fact we have a better team/squad that half the other teams in the Prem and on a par with the likes of Everton and Wolves. I also wouldn’t be surprised, and here’s a bold prediction, that we could finish above Man Utd.

Hey......I’m optimistic!

Well, what do I know?

Haven't been around for a bit I know, but sitting with my wife and watching (via BBC text updates) the 1st match of what will undoubtedly be a difficult season, I'd be happy with anywhere not in the bottom 3...

That said, she turned to me after the first and said "way too early", and we both knew it. Totts had too much quality, champions league runners up and all.
