2024 is a very special year, it will be our 150th anniversary since we were founded back in 1874.

No pressure but we must win some silverware. FA Cup to finish the collection followed by a night in Athens where the Ancient Gods of Football bow down to see us lift the Euro Conference Cup. All that combined in a top 8 finish.

As I said, no pressure.

The 150th Anniversary was not on my mind. We need to win something.  I'd take the 3rd rated European competition now.

What I want to happen

Top 6 in the league - restores the natural order of things
Finalist in either league or FA Cup - wembley day out topped off by a victory on penaties
Win ECL - homecoming parade

Being more realistic - to not go backwards in any respect - ie at least 7th in league

FA Cup, but not at the expense of a bottom half finish.

I would certainly take any trophy and a single figure finish, though.

F.A. Cup. Decent League Cup and European run. Top half. That is all.

 Because of Emery and our superior squad I'm not gonna lie, if we weren't playing Sunday-Thursday against Europe, pundits would start picking us for the top 4 or possibly as a dark horse title contender!

Not being greedy but the FA Cup, The Conference League Trophy and top 6 will make me very happy.

Last season, Spurs and Chelsea were really inept for most of the season, as were Liverpool until a late flourish. That made it easier for Arsenal (who I don't think were brilliant but were just consistent until the last few games) and Man City who just put teams away with ruthless efficiency. What the league needs is teams like Spurs and Chelsea to take points off teams in this year's top 4. I think Emery is capable of getting a high level of consistency going, and if the usual suspects can take more points off each other, then there's no reason we can't be anywhere in the top 6.

Any teams really ? Doesn't have to be Spurs and Chelsea.
Can say Leicester and West Ham underperformed last season for sure but other teams were taking points of the top 2 and 3.

You don't look a day over 125. Anyway, can we please win the FA Cup before I die? It's the only major trophy I have not seen us win in my lifetime.

I've got a good feeling about this coming season. Dunno what we'll do, but the top end of the Premier League is getting an awful lot more congested now ... at least one team from Manc City, Manc United, Liverpool, Arsenal, Spurs, Us, Chelsea, and Newcastle is going to end up with no European football in 2024/5.

4th.

Any other season, I would take any of the other options. But to make champions league with the level of competition I think there will be this season would be an incredible achievement over 38 games.

I think we will finish top 8 and win a cup, which will be way, way more fun and enjoyable. But head rules heart on what I want to happen.
