Why should i? I dont want to be Arsenal MK2.

Our sqaud need a real shaking or we will it will be the same city as last season trust me.

i bet my life this current squad will not win the leauge and i will document my suicide if we do.
 
Premier league title, CL winners, FA Cup winners, League Cup winners ....then next season we can add the charity shield to that too ;) ....we have the best pool of players by far in England
 
I'm going to set my expectations a little lower;

at least a 1-10 at OT so we can sing; 'it really was 10'

PL effectively won by February (20 point lead) so that we can focus on CL

Another FA semi against United so that they will start to think, 'Not Again'

A master class from Saurez in the league cup final

A double over Everton

Not to hear 'it's important' in a Friday pre match conference.

Think that'll do for now :)
 
For every player to give 100% in every match. No shirking just get on with it.

To play exciting, open football.

Win whatever we can but never give in.

All players to remember the words:

THE BOYS IN BLUE NEVER GIVE IN, THEY FIGHT TO THE END.
 
Difficult to say until we bring new attacking options in - which we are finding it impossible to do just now. Its easy in the close season to paper over the cracks from last season - at times we looked inept when teams parked the bus - we tried to play through them without any success. People saying we will be fine if we stick with Dzeko are deluding themselves - I think.

I think we need to wise up and stop being so complacent (finishing top 4 is not a given)- there will be a very strong top 5 or 6 next year and we need to seriously push on - we squandered our opportunity as champions last year to bring in players to take us to a higher level - the jury is still out as to whether we can do so this summer - but we know Chelsea and Arsenal will be far stronger this next year and we need to rise to the challenge. Our momentum has stalled a little - not getting Isco or Cavani won't matter a jot in the broader scheme of things - so long as we address our weaknesses and get our better players to perform to a more consistent level.

The Champions League campaign will in many ways depend on the draw - I'm counting on Napoleon serving up another group of death and we may need to concentrate on our overall level of performance (winning a game) rather than setting giddy targets like the SF.
 
Be more "Holistic"

Definitely be more entertaining than last season, bring more young players through from the bench when in a comfortable position during games against weaker sides.
I think we have a squad more than capable of winning the league, but there again we did last year.
Last 8 of the champs league, although having said that it depends on who we draw first game in the knockout stages.

Most of all though I expect to see the players show more desire and belief than last season.
 
I can't shake off the feeling that this will be a transition season for us. New manager with no PL experience and a few new players the same...my worry is that if we do go trophy-less, and I think it's possible, the media could try and rip Pellegrini a new one and it may have a damaging effect.
I am not convinced he was the best replacement for Mancini. For all the 'nice guy, plays good football' spin, the reality is he is not a winner...yet.
I hope I am wrong and he and the new players bed in quick and storm to the title but like I said in the opening sentence, I have a feeling it won't be our year.
