The league 2017/18 - where will we finish?

[Colt Seavers]

I think our best 11 is good enough to challenge for the title - in an ideal world with no injuries and no fatigue.

However, back to the real world I see us blowing some teams away and struggling with others we should beat (no change there then), but I do think like Moof said we will be better prepared and learnt from mistakes of last season.

I've gone for 3rd but with luck think we could sneak 2nd, would be nice to be challenging come March.

[TheBitch]

Between us and the two Manc sides. With a full team we are a match for anyone and we're due a bit of luck with injuries so the title it is.

Agree with aws 100%

[ngogswilly]

Voted 5th purely as I dont expect us to have any luck injury wise and our defence just isnt good enough.

 

If we get lucky injury wise and manage the winter period better could definitely see us finishing anywhere from 2nd to 4th but ultimately theres no way that defence is part of a title winning team.

that's very arsenal of you to want to be challenging up till March.

[Section_31]

3rd or 4th

[Anny Road]

The way we play, 100 mph, injuries are inevitable. That will cost us.

I think United will be stronger and will grind out 1-0 wins whereas last year they drew. Not too sure about City they could win it or go 4th because tactically they will be better and have quality all over the pitch but something is missing.

Arsenal forget it.

Between us and Spurs for forth.

[joe_fishfish]

The title is between the two manc teams. We have a chance at third if Spurs' home form continues to slide and Chelsea's squad proves as weak as it looks right now. Heart says we'll get it, head says we'll get injuries and tired players and end up in 5th.

 

All about the champions league this season anyway. Teams in that actually try and play football and we know what we can do against teams that do that.

[Bobby Hundreds]

United winning the league which I think they will, makes me feel sick to the stomach already. Signed a deal with the fucking devil that club.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Third. 

[JoeyJones65]

 

Premier League : 4th/5th

 

Champions League quarter finalists...we'll go out something like 7-5 on aggregate and be fucking fuming over our defence being shit.

 

FA Cup : Depends on the draw - we could go out in the third round or go all the way and lose at Wembley because Moreno does his classic fuck up in a big game.

 

League Cup : Beat Leicester - semi finals at worst.

After months on end, the jury is finally in. Well done, lads!

 

*pats himself on the back*

[Anubis]

I predict we'll finish fourth.

[Kevin D]

*pats himself on the back*

Nicely done, sir.

[aRdja]

Well I didn’t know we were gonna sign Van Dijk you see.

[aws]

Refs robbed me.

[Jairzinho]

I'm looking back and I'm disappointed with that.

[Rick Sanchez C-137]

I saved my vote until now so I could maintain my 100% record of predicting our league position.

 

100% record lads. Never wrong.

[The Golden Eel]

6th and a champions league final defeat.

 

An interesting prediction this as far back as August

[Stickman]

We'd have finished above Spurs if roles had been reversed in fact I don't even think they'd have got fourth. 

[El Rojo]

I had third.

 

NOT GOOD ENOUGH, KLOPP OUT, CHAMPIONS LEAGUE FINAL BUT ELBOWS TOO POINTY.

[RobbieOR]

Only time top 4 looked in doubt was the end of October. Looked pretty much nailed on from then on in when we got our act together that we'd piss it. 

[Bjornebye]

Kinell not bad

[Jennings]

I underestimated Kloppo. Well done big man!

 

I really enjoyed the football we played this year (especially latterly)!
