Where do you think we will finish this season ?

[*shellac*]

Between 6th to 8th hence my guess would be 7th, behind (not in any order) - Chelsea, Man Utd, Arsenal, Man City, Liverpool and Spurs or Everton.

[Mazrim]

Where are we going to finish?

Wembley.

I have a feeling that we may be looking for a new manager at the end of this season.

If the crowd turns against MON, I can see him either walking out part way through the season, but I  think he will jack it in after this season is over.

I can honestly seee us finishing around 10th place and that lot from across the city may even be challenging to finish above us

I hope that I am wrong!! but at the moment I cant seem to get any enthusiasm for the new season, and yes I have renewed as I have done every season since 1987.

Agreed.

As for this season, with a bit of luck, probably 7th but with the top 6 some distance away. We'll be playing catch-up for the next few seasons, with or without MON.

[Dr Butler]

I would take 6th now to be honest.

Agree with most of that

I can see Liverpool having a decent season under Woy, I would like to see us really go for the Europa with the final being in Dublin. can't see us getting easy cup runs like last season again.

I am trying to get excited about the start of the season but am just totally underwhelmed. Hope that will change with some signings and getting rid of the vast amount of deadwood we have.

[PaulTheVillan]

We will be looking for a new manager this time next year.

This will be MONs 5th year, he stayed at Celtic and Leicester for 5 years, wonder if he'll stick to his trend?

I can see us finishing 8th. I said 9th originally, but think it'll be 8th.

Man Utd
Chelsea
Arsenal
Liverpool
Man City
Spurs
Everton

Will all finish above us, not in that order.

[MoetVillan]

Fourth for me, fuck it.  Chelski champs, Manure second.  City will implode and have at least one manager sacking.  Arsenal will have a poor season, and Spurs will bow out of the chumps league which will shag their season too, leaving us to battle Liverpool for third.  We are the Villa, last season showed we are not scared of the big teams..... Come on lads!

[TonyD]

8th.

[Villa'Zawg]

I expect we'll do beter than last season, just as we have for the last 4 seasons.

I also have a feeling we'll do very well in Europe this season.

Wembley.

Which is funnily enough where we'll start the season after as well.

I still have doubts about Uncle Woy.

The league campaign was less than impressive last year, as spectacular as their Euro campaign was.

Despite a good initial first year at Blackburn he struggled there and played a big part in their relegation in the late 90's, even with money to spend.

He then toured around a few obscure Scandinavian leagues for the best part of a decade before Al Fayed took a punt on him. GT MkII I thought, when he pitched up at Fulham. Particularly when he gave a pre match interview and enthused that "It's always great to play the Arsenal."  Happy just to be there, I reasoned.

Still, I was wrong then. So who knows.

While I’m aware that this is just a bit of pre-season fun and often the predictions are inaccurate, except for mine which are very accurate, I have one question, which is really two questions. What has changed so much about the Premier League thus far, with only Man City dipping their toe, that has seen sides catapult ahead of us or conversely seen us zoom into 4th or 5th?

Surely the only logical way to approach this would be to switch Man City around with Spurs based on Man City’s spending to date? I’m not quite sure how at this embryonic stage of the season, Man City’s spending or Joe Cole has seen us drop as low as 9th, 8th or 7th. I know Merseyside clubs get along, but its quite remarkable the impact Joe Cole has apparently had on the Everton squad as well. Unless we all subscribe to the Coopers Injury school of strikers?

Similarly, I’m just as bemused about how, by doing absolutely nothing, we’ve managed to eclipse two sides who finished above uss last season.

All in all I guess this tells me that you lot are crazy, crazy like a horse.

[darren woolley]

We will probably finish between 6th to 8th position depending on who we buy in the transfer market.

[Matt C]

6th. As you were.
