22/23 season expectations.

[supertom]

A lot of clubs around us have also had reasonable windows. Some clubs have not (so far). Man Utd should be deemed catchable. They probably won't be, but should be. Leicester are weaker. Wolves too. Brighton and Brentford will drop below what they've done.
Newcastle haven't had the window most expected but will still be a big rival. Everton will struggle again. For me:

1- Man City
2- Liverpool
3- Spurs
4- Arsenal
5- Chelski
6- WH
7- Utd - 60-65 points-ish

13- Brighton - 45 points.
14- Southampton
15- Forest
16- Everton
17- Brentford
18- Leeds
19- Fulham
20- Bournemouth
We're in a group of 8-12th which is all much of a muchness. Brighton might exceed expectations again and come into it. I would expect a gap above that 13-14th area of 5-10 points. I'd also expect a gap of 5-10points  from 8-7th. I fancy us to finish ahead of Wolves and Palace. On paper ourselves and Newcastle should be the best of that midriff, but like all of them, we could go either way. 

I don't see us breaking the top 7.
Much of this could change by the window closing of course. Then you've got the surprisingly good, and the disappointing to contend with. There'll be surprises.

I think West Ham are catchable if we get our midfield balance right. I don't think they're stronger than us outside of that area. Hopefully their new Italian striker will emulate Andrea Silenzi et al.

[Moonraker]

Can see Everton in bottom 5

Not expecting much, would be nice to pleasantly surprised.

The script is mid table, knocked out the cup by Man U. Followed by loosing our best player to someone further up the food chain. Rinse and repeat.

Maybe a cup run, just maybe.

[Matt C]

Confident we’ll better last season but by how much and whether it is enough I’m not so sure.

[Ads]

I expect us to be harder to play through. To be more intense and aggressive defensively and in the way we press.

To keep the ball better too.

To turn more defeats into gritty draws and more winning positions into 3 points.

I hope this leads to a top half finish.

[Brazilian Villain]

Similar to CCR, expect 8th-10th...hoping for 7th.

[Steve67]

9th to 11th for me.  We are still a couple of class players away from being a top 8 side.  Hoping to give a few of the so-called top 6 a bloody nose here and there.  Really need to be more ruthless in front of goal.

Today, I have engaged in an in-depth, scientific, multi-sourced examination of every Premier League team as it stands today. It took about 15 minutes, but I did have up to five browser tabs open at any one time, so it has to be good.

** I have put no thought into the order of the teams in each group, only which group I believe they will finish in **

Title Contenders:
Man City, Liverpool

Champions League:
Chelsea, Spurs

Europe:
West Ham, Arsenal, Man U

Top Half:
Brighton, Villa, Palace

Safe:
Leicester, Wolves, Newcastle, Brentford

Survival:
Everton, Southampton, Forest

GONE:
Bournemouth, Leeds, Fulham

I would like to think that we are in the European group as see both Wet Spam and the Red cnuts as our should be targets.

I had picked the same group to be relegated

[Richard]

Nice to see BBC Sport online choose their teams to potentially break into the Top 2 and include Newcastle as the only one other than the obvious 4 ha ha

[LeeB]

I think 'top half', 'safe' and West Ham could end up in any of those positions in any order depending on circumstances, the rest looks likely.

[cheltenhamlion]

Top 10 minimum. Ideally aim for 7th.

Id be tempted to swap Arsenal for Chelsea, who I think have gone a bit backwards with the players that have left, compared to whose come in.

I also think Spurs could be a surprise package in the title race, given their signings, the front two and the Conte factor.

Although they have been much better than us over last two years, i think/hope West Ham are catchable.

Wolves are going down this season
