Your expectations for next season?

[bluebrother55]

First and foremost, another League title. Two in a row. Anything else would be a bonus.

 

[levets]

Retain the premier league title... anything else is a bonus.

Not interested in the champions League.

Agree 100%.

 

[The Fat el Hombre]

retain the prem, semi finals of champions league. we should fuck the fa and league cups off.

Only if the squad can't cope. With everyone fit there's a good chance we can challenge on four fronts. We've got a strong enough squad now that the domestic trophies are there for the taking, go for them

I think the World Cup and ACON may have an impact on us next season.

Silva, sergio, Fernandinho, Negredo could easily be unavailable for first couple of games if they go a long way and a month without Yaya is never good.

Contest the title to the end and make sure top 3 secured.

One cup. Don't think it will be CL again yet so FA cup would be good again.

League cup next year should be used to give some kids a chance.

From our line up, we've got Hart, Clichy, Kompany, Zaba, Toure, Fernandinho, Silva, Milner, Navas, Aguero, Dzeko and Negredo off to the world cup.

From that, I imagine Hart, Milner, Dzeko and Toure will be back with us the earliest but that's a lot of players to be missing out on a full pre-season.

Could be a slow start next year but it shouldn't be too hard as other teams are in similar positions.

And the better players on that list of participants go into the tournament carrying injuries

 

[I'm With Stupid]

I don't have expectations in terms of trophies, just that I want us to be challenging for everything we enter. Retaining the title would be great, and we'd only be the 3rd team to ever do it since football began in 1992. I'd really love to see us have a dominant season and win comfortably, like the great Chelsea, rag and Arsenal teams have in the past. I think we have the squad to do it, and hopefully with Pellegrini a year more experienced, we can cut out a lot of those stupid defeats we had early on last season.

As for the rest, progress in the Champions League would be good, especially as we will in theory have a slightly easier draw this time (although I'm sure UEFA will do everything they can to fuck us over).

 

[Champions2012!]

I'd love to see kids get serious run outs in cup games and to just worry about the league and CL.

Isn't that what did us in against Wigan? Underestimating them?

 

[Blue Til Death]

Win the PL and see how it goes in all the other competitions, happy with a repeat of this season (aside from the Wigan loss at home)
Not overly excited about the CL that will come one day but to dominate domestically will do me all day long.. !

 

[kippaxblue76]

Hoping for a clean sweep domestically and the latter stages of the champions league but would be happy enough retaining the title.

Retain the premier league title... anything else is a bonus.

Agree 110%.
Let's have a much better defence of the title than 2012/13 anyway. 11 points off the pace was poor.
