Hopes & expectations for 2024/25 Season

[ChicagoLion]

I'm not giving up on it yet but for the first time this season I am having doubts that we'll improve on last season’s league position.

Pretty certain we won’t.
We would need to get on a good run, I keep looking back to the period we beat Arse and aciteh, we are nowhere near that level.

[Smirker]

We'll win the CL.

[Rigadon]

We'll win the CL.

YES Smirker!

We were obviously not going to close the chasm between us and the top 3 by selling 2 of our better players and failing to improve a poor defence.

I still think we can get 5th but 6th/7th is more likely imo.

I think we will do well if we finish in the top 6 this season. Also, if we get to the last 16 of the CL or beyond, that will also be a very good achievement.

I don't think we will win the FA Cup; the League Cup was the most tangible opportunity this season.

From the equivalent fixtures last season, we would have been on 25 points this season - swapping Ipswich and Leicester for e.g. any two from Luton, Burnley and Sheff Utd.

I know you can't necessarily compare all like for like fixtures against teams from last season, but it is an indication that we are tracking behind last season's achievements. We are also currently in a much tougher phase of fixtures.

I don't want to be all 'modern fan' - I'm too old for one thing - but I don't want our next trophy to be the League Cup.

[London Villan]

We have already dropped points vs last season (Spurs A and Arsenal H) and our current home form is patchy... I feel the return of Kamara is key to our season being brilliant or just average.

I don't think you'll have to worry too much about that with Emery in charge.

Ha! Very true.

It's been long enough since we won the League Cup. If you want to win a different trophy first, I suspect you'll be waiting a lifetime.

I would take any trophy going and the League Cup is always the most likely by far.

Sadly, we've thrown that possibility away again.

This isn't the 'Dating' thread.

Is right.

[Accent Guy]

I'd prefer the FA Cup of course but that's far harder to win. I reckon our next trophy will be the LC, just hope it happens in the next decade as we have waited far too long.

You never know though, maybe we will win the FA Cup in that timeframe.
