Carling cup = winners. Fa cup = winners. Prem = winners. Champs league = minimum quater finals. Your views?
 
I'm not sure predicting a feat which has never been achieved in the entire history of English football as a realistic aim is sensible.
 
I think we will win the League Cup and Premier League, get eliminated in FA Cup at about QF stage and get to CL quarters, so similar to 2013/14 season.
 
Take every match as it comes, and see where we end up.

We're in a final now, so the aim of that will be to win it, but we don't need to worry about it for another month. Next we're in the FAC 4th round, aim to win that. Then return to league action and see how our form goes.

Chances of winning all 4 are very slim, 3 unlikely, and 2 not exactly huge, given the number of times its been done.

Get in the top 4, and win one trophy.

I am happy to be back at Wembley. For years, just wanted to get there.

I agree. I don't think our defending is good enough to win the CL and I can see us losing an FA Cup tie when the weight of fixtures takes its toll. I would be delighted to repeat the 13/14 double.
 
The longer we remain in them, the greater the confidence among the players, and the more desire they'll show to fight on all fronts. However, a defeat at the weekend could knock the stuffing out of them and have them worrying about the number of injuries, so it really is one game at a time. The team selection this weekend has to be the right balance of enough experience to get us through with just enough young blood to help the regulars over the line.
 
Realistically we won't win the quadruple. We're the best team in the league, but other competitions are impacting on our consistency so it's going to be tough enough to win that. One 90 minute strong performance away from the League Cup so have to win that. FA Cup, depends on fixtures we get but again have as good a chance as any to win that as well. CL, only with luck of the draw and luck in the game will we win it. If teams like West Ham and Everton can bypass our midfield with such regularity then we've no chance against the big sides in Europe.

For me, keeping players fit and Pellegrini identifying when to play Yaya and when not to, and how to put a balanced side out will determine how much we win. A league and cup double is the minimum based on where we currently are.
 
As often as we can, we need to rest, Aguero,Silva and Toure. Toure looks like he could die of exhaustion recently and its best to wrap Silva and Aguero in cotton wool, especially after what has happened to De Bruyne.
 
You can't ever predict a cup win - even at this stage, all you can do is TRY and win the lot and fair play to pellegrini, he's set us up well to do so.

For me, we have to win the league this year, that's our main aim, but winning the capital one cup and finishing in the top 3 would be a good season if you take our entire history into consideration.
 
I think we'll win the Premier League and the League Cup.

The FA Cup and Champions League both depend on the draw. We won't win the Champions League, the semi finals would be a success IMO. We should go far in the FA Cup, barring any stupid games like Wigan and Middlesbrough in previous years.

It sounds crazy considering the first half of the season we've had, but the domestic treble is still possible. This is the weakest the other teams have been in years.
