McFaul 35 Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Every July I've done this since I've been on here, and lets be honest, the last 2 seasons I said 6th and we came 5th, and 12th and was closest when we came 16th. Based on fuck all but intuition here's what I think the crack will be next season. 1 Man Utd 2 Chelsea 3 Man City 4 Tottenham 5 Arsenal 6 Newcastle 7 Liverpool 8 West Ham 9 Aston Villa 10 Swansea 11 Sunderland 12 Everton 13 WBA 14 Fulham 15 Southampton 16 Norwich 17 Stoke 18 Cardiff 19 Hull 20 Palace FA Cup Man City League Cup Tottenham CL FC Bayern EL Tottenham Lets be honest that 2011/2012 everyone went to the first few games thinking it would be a relegation battle, but a little bit of momentum and the next thing you know we had 25 points from a possible 33. I think it'll be similar, Pardew has no European excuses, and hopefully fatty will do something positive in terms of signings. I think 6th, outside the top 5 teams there's fuck all in this league, especially Liverpool, Suarez is half that team and he'll be away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christmas Tree 4521 Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 When you look at those teams there is no way we should be outside the top 7. No way! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
McFaul 35 Posted July 4, 2013 Author Share Posted July 4, 2013 When you look at those teams there is no way we should be outside the top 7. No way! I honestly agree, there's fuck all in the league. The blue dippers are finished, I'm telling you that now. Ant we had the same negativity two seasons ago, NUFC are a club that shock you, I'm sticking my neck out and saying 6th and I'll still hate Ashley in May.

McFaul 35 Posted July 4, 2013 Author Share Posted July 4, 2013 We had the same negativity and then had two strikers scoring from anywhere they liked, and other teams having a total mare around us, plus we had a good run with the lack of injuries Last season it was normal service resumed... this season we've kinnear handling the transfers on top of that. 10th for me unless Cisse has an absolute stormer of a season. Irrespective of other teams having a mare, we finished with 65 points which is more than Everton ever have, and more than Liverpool have for 5 years, so they'd have both had to have outstanding seasons to better us anyway. We'll sign a proper striker I'm sure, Ashley isn't daft especially the amount of money involved next season, the most ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevin Carr's Gloves 3738 Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Unless we are incredibly lucky we will struggle badly. Nothing I have seen of Kinnear fills me with confidence that we will sign the types of players we desperately need. Also Man United will not qualify for the champions league this season.

GeordieMark 0 Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 1. Chelsea 2. Man City 3. Man Utd 4. Tottenham 5. Arsenal 6. Liverpool 7. Newcastle 8. West Ham 9. Sunderland 10. Southampton 11. Aston Villa 12. Everton 13. WBA 14. Swansea 15. Norwich 16. Cardiff 17. Stoke 18. Hull 19. Fulham 20. Palace FA Cup: Man Utd League Cup: Chelsea Champions League: Barcelona Europa League: A team from Eastern Europe. I think Fulham have lost a lot of players who were getting 1st team football last season and their squad is small, they might struggle. Swansea will also drop down a few places due to Europe. A few lads in the office think Im daft saying 7th, but I think a points target of 50-55 next season is achievable. That would get us to 7th or 8th based on last season. We have a team full of international players, I think the minimum points target would be 50 with a full pre-season together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anorthernsoul 1221 Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 (edited) It's a bit early to be predicting a league table, this thread would have been better in 5 weeks time. What I will say is Chelsea will win the league. Edited July 4, 2013 by Anorthernsoul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom 14002 Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 As it stands I'm closer to Brock than McFaul and housewife but that's dependent on whether we can have a vaguely competent transfer window. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snagger 0 Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Areet lads and lasses.. I'm new here so go canny please . Regards to the season ahead i'm quite scared like... because if we start the season like we finished last season we are buggered. Need to keep hold of our better players and pray injury's don't do us again coz fat ash ain't gonna spend much i reckon.. For me i say 14th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JawD 99 Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Def bottom half like. As it stands we're simpson and perch (and Harper) down with none in (ok one for the youth team). We've lied (or the club hasnt but they create the leaks they want) about trying to bring players in and made half arsed attempts at others. The only thing anyone remembers thus far about us is our new world fucking class DoF being a tit in the media. So far we arent taking a few steps backwards, we're using a tacky wonga sponsored time machine 15th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 21539 Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Depends on how the window goes. I'll be surprised if we do as poorly as last season, or as well as the season before. Somewhere around 8-12th is probably our natural order under Ashley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
