Where do you think we'll finish this season and why?

[Dicko69]

Top 2 for sure, hopefully 1st. We've got the best squad in the league, debatable if we've got the best first 11, but I'm more than happy with what we've got, with or without kdb, hopefully with tho. Still not give up on pp but it's looking unlikely, with 1st for sure

Quite interesting, reading this thread from last August. Note how the negative posters cited recurring injuries, needless rotation, and worrying signs from the previous season.

5th because we are shite

 

[jimharri]

Win our last 2 games, we finish, I think, 3rd. The way we played today though, that's a pipe dream.

If we only sign three young lads for the EDS, and Sterling and Delph I think we'll push Chelsea harder and longer than we did (or actually didn't) last season but will finish 2nd still. Might still only finish 2nd if we sign more players. We were that far off last season and had so many glaring weaknesses that there's a lot to claw back with a core of the team all around the 30 mark.

Here was my prediction. See why I'm so disappointed? I thought we were a long way off last season, never mind this.

I overrated both us and especially Chelsea didn't I? Haha

Looks like David James pre-season prediction we would finish outside the top 4, wasn't so far fetched after all.

Relying on Utd to drop pts vs Norwich or WHU

We aren't getting 6 pts from next 2. Lucky if we get 4.

Stole the words out of my mouth.

We're not that far off Chelsea, to be fair.

 

[baildon blue]

3rd

 

[2sheikhs]

The only thing stopping us finishing 6th is because the rags and West Ham have to play each other.
5th.

Or Savage's yet to back from it after us winning the first 5 games, lol

 

[Bluekiwi]

We HAVE to finish above the rags.

Lucky if we get 2 playing like yesterday.

5th because the manager and half the squad don't give a fuck about the club anymore!

 

[Lkzerinho]

Convinced Pellegrini tossed the game yesterday,

I think we can beat Arsenal if the players are up for it, we certainly have a better team.

We missed De Bruyne and Clichy Yesterday.

Feel we would have had at least a good chance of winning had they started.

I will feel better if we beat Arsenal and more confident. But we must turn up,

They will come at us

 

[worsleyweb]

3rd.

5th

No reason why we cannot win out last two games and finish third.

Arsenal will come for a point as that should be enough for them to finish third.

I think West Ham will beat Manure so we need four points to ensure 4th spot.

There are no reasons but the fact we have managed no wins against teams in the top 8 all season (bar Southampton who were not in it when we beat them) does not inspire confidence! That is 13 games!

I can see us making top 4 if teams behind us drop points because I can't see us beating Arsenal 4 days after a no doubt draining game against Madrid.

A point yesterday could have made all the difference but these stand in players are largely shit and some don't give a toss so we got what we deserved.
