General Predictions - 2023/24

[MadchesterCity]

If we manage to win the treble again this year at PL, PL2 and u18s, it'll set us up nicely to win the treble treble treble the following year.

(So I'llbe livid if we win the quadruple this year and fuck all that up)

We’re getting 7 pots, which is quite remarkable considering we never had a pot to piss in for a long time

 

[East Level 2]

City to suffer from burn out after the fantastic achievements last season. Players have had hardly any rest over the summer. - Kev has been running on empty for ages, and he's not the only one.
On the other hand; Erling might finally settle in and score a few!!
Rags to benefit from dodgy decisions as usual. They will also benefit from opponents shooting straight at their keeper. I think the OP said something about them being back to mid-table. Nice Idea but they haven't been truly mid-table (8th to 12th) for many, many years.
Liverpool will bust a gut to be part of the new format CL in 24-25 and if they get silly (dirty oil) money for players going to Saudi they could attract some useful replacements.
Barcodes to be vilified by the media every time they beat rags, dippers, arse or Chelsea.
Luton to go down but hard to say who will join them. Probably two from Blades, Forest, Bournemouth, Brentford and Palace. Everton will probably do enough to move to their new ground as a PL team.

Chelsea hold the record for the fewest goals conceded in a Premier League season with just 15 goals scored against them during the 2004/05 season.
I reckon City will take that record in 23/24.

 

[117 M34]

Think City, Liverpool and Chelsea will be in the top 5.

Rags, arsenal, Newcastle, spurs and villa to battle for the last 2 champions league places.

BTW - notice how they added in an extra champions league place now that the rags and dippers might not get in the top 4.

Rags - finally ditched De Gae but any new keeper without prem experience can take time to settle in. Mount is an improvement but otherwise doesn’t look Like they will be able to change much with no money. Let’s hope they go back to mid table.

Mid table? I hope they get relegated!

Yeah, the only thing I remember at Maine Road was the piss spraying up the brick wall at the scoreboard end.

It would take a lot for Arsenal fans to turn on Arteta. We have had three managers in 26 years. We have had 5 managers in the past 36 years.There is no appetite to put Arteta on a slab at all. Everyone is behind him as he is the ideal person to manage the team due to the progress he has made with the team, the capability as a manager he has shown, and his connection to the club.

That will depend on if he has OWN ideas on the pitch performance or simply watches what Guardiola does for this season's magic trick...

And Gaurdiola would have taken his ideas from Barcelona. Your not the original owners of possession based football.

I can promise you its all been done before by other clubs and countries.

 

[bluemystery]

City won't win the league.
Chelsea top 4
Spurs the team to watch this season imo - think they could get top 4 (controversial but I think Ange is going to wonders for them)
Wolves relegated.

 

[Inter Me Nan]

Mid table? I hope they get relegated!

I hope they get liquidated!
