38 league wins and 2 trophies, any less and we just aren't good enough.

We will finish 11th with 46 points and a trip to Wembley in the FA cup semi final and Benteke will win the golden boot !

Score more than last season + concede less than last season = much improvement in 2013/14.

Between 8th and 10th would be satisfactory and a decent run in the cups (no going out to lower league opposition)

10 - 12th, I would have said higher but I don't think our defence will improve quite enough. I may change that to nearer 8th if we get another decent CB in as I don't think Vlaar is good enough imo however I  don't think we will get another CB, so yeah 10 - 12th.

I might not sound happy with that but I am. Honestly.

Whatever the modern equivalent of the first page of teletext is. Looking up, not down.

And a cup semi final against a minnow would be great. We won't make THAT mistake again.

14th-17th. Squad is short of experience and proven quality. Having young exciting unknown players is great if they turn out good but can't see them making such a difference that we'll be that much higher in the table especially when our rivals are strengthening also.

From February onwards, I would say we were certainly top ten team. We have strengthened and not lost any players.

This is what I've had to keep pointing out to fans of other teams who I speak to. They have basically wrote us off for next season, we won't get much better, young team blah blah blah.

1st half of the season, very poor, 2nd half the team showed character and were much better. We won all the must win games and gave a good account of ourselves at Old Trafford, The Emirates, Goodison etc... there's definitely a lot to be positive about and no reason to think we can't finish upwards of 12th, Lambert has put his own stamp on the team now.
