22/23 season expectations.

[Steve67]

I don't know why, but suddenly the division looks a bit tougher this season.

[cdbearsfan]

They really aren't.

[eamonn]

Wolves are going down this season

Portugese second division?

[Steve67]

First manager to get the bullet: Eddie Howe, even if they are doing ok.  Alternative is Big Ralph.

Why so confident on Fulham?

[cdbearsfan]

I dunno, just feel that Mitrovic is going to have a decent Premier League season at last. He isn't scoring forty odd goals like last year, obviously, but I reckon he gets enough so they nick a few wins, especially at home.

Why so confident on Fulham?

I'm struggling with confidence in Newcastle.

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

This is great shout

[sid1964]

Liverpool - win the league
2nd - Spurs
3rd - City (will focus on the European Cup, and win the League Cup)
4th - Chelsea

Villa - 10th - and QF of the FA Cup - lose to Man Utd on a VAR decision

Bottom 3

Everton
Fulham
Bournemouth

Leading goal scorer - Harry Kane (will also win Player of the Year)
Young Player of the Year - Harvey Elliott - Liverpool - And Southgate will pick him for the World Cup Squad

1st Manager Sacked - Southampton's Manager

No idea but somewhere around 8th would be a decent first full season for Gerrard and maybe the Caraboa Cup.

What I would like to see is an end to gifting struggling sides points and I'd like to see a few dominant 90 minute performances this season rather than just the freak rarity that comes along once in a blue moon.

Agree. We simply can’t lose one of the most games outside the bottom three again. I want to see skill and excitement, but i also want to see some dogs of war type draws and scrappy wins, that would of been soft defeats last year, games like Newcastle away and Wolves, home and away.

If we win a cup it is our best season for 27 years straight away
