Will we win the Premier League

[ChicagoLion]

Citeh are emerging as the strongest team and squad,although I think they are still heavily reliant on Haaland. I am not convinced by Arsenal, they just seem like they are destined to fall short. Chelsea mid summer exploits and boardroom shenanigans will mean they run out of steam.

For us stay in contention we will need a couple of astute recruits, be lucky with injuries and give up on all other competitions.

The last 4 in the league Cup are the current holders plus 3 of the current top 4 with only Villa not involved. All 4 are in this year's champions league too. So they are competing in champions league, Premier league, league Cup and still likely to have a good go at the fa cup. Proof that you do not have to sacrifice any competition. Go for every game every time and try to win everything. Can we win the Premier league? Yes. Of course we can. We can beat all 4 of that lot.

Man City signing Semenyo now apparently… that’s nice for them because their squad is so paper thin.  Great they have the headroom too.

They have significantly deeper squads.
We are having to use Sancho and Guessand, we have Watkins carrying an injury.

Yeah, I forgot to mention that the rest all have transfer capacity that we can get nowhere near.

In all honesty I think City will go on to win it. Like our goals from outside the box, Arsenal's over reliance on set piece goals is unsustainable. But nobody questions that statistic. When it comes to the crunch, they just don't have it in them.

Finishing in the top 4-5 would be an incredible achievement, given the start we had & the restrictions the football authorities have put on us.

Like this time last year we need more attacking options. If we can do that, then who knows. Maybe we'll be playing at Man City on the last day to win the league. Emery can perform miracles of that I'm certain.

Yep, given the disaster of the last day of last season, and the summer of transfer inactivity it led to, qualifying for the Champions League THIS season would be a huge achievement.  I'd still like a trophy (wouldn't we all), but finishing in the top 4/5 after the summer we had, and the start we stumbled through, would be incredible.

No excuses for Arsenal this season, simply have to get it done.

It's going to be hilarious if they don't. Still, they might win the Carabao Cup.

Arsenal never(apart from that one time) win the League Cup.

Liverpool last season could've won the league with about 72 points.

If it was around that figure (75 points) I absolutely think we could win it given how strong we are at home year in year out.

However think Man. City and Arsenal will both be in 85-90 point range so to get up to that we can't afford  to drop more than 15 points so that would be beyond us.

3rd and winning the Europa league would be our best season since 1982 and that should be a realistic target with the squad and manager in place.

I'm not sure what will be needed this year, us and Man City are in great form at the minute after both being a bit off it at the start of the season whereas Arsenal seem to be wobbling a little recently.

need to still be in touch after the Xmas/new year fixtures, and assuming the other two are involved in all competitions who knows what could happen
