I've gone for the same but I think we had a genuine title shot which we may blow unless we have a fantastic week's training.


Ted you can't honestly believe that training over the next week, in which most of our players will be away for internationals will make or break a title challenge.

Exactly the same.

Top four would be good job and anything above that will be great. I'm of course hoping for a title of some sorts but just making it to one of the finals would be superbuzz.
Sometimes we're good and sometimes we're bad but when we're good, at least we're much better than we used to be and when we are bad we're just as bad as we always used to be, so that's got to be good hasn't it?

i'm expecting 4th and silver wear of some sort.
I'm obviously hoping for a higher league finish and more silver wear. I would be over the moon with second place and winning the Europa League.

Same for me

Champions League and at least one piece of silverware must be the minimum expectations from our owners.

With the amount of money we have spent over the last couple of years, anything less than 4th place would have to be seen as a failure ??

5th, with Europa Cup.

I honestly reckon a hell of a lot rests on the first two games. In Spurs' eyes, we're direct competitors, who they'll want to beat at all costs, an attitude that seems to have been lacking from Bobby's teams. Liverpool have something to prove against us, and will want the win more than ever.

If we're rooted to the bottom of the table with 0 points after two games, and get a not unrealistic draw away at Sunderland in our third match, the catch-up will seem a hell of a lot harder.

I see Europa being a breeze until the semis. I just hope we don't draw a Turkish club along the way, as fan problems over there could marr our season pretty badly.

3rd - I don't think we'll win a cup but would like to see us make a final (or semi final at least)

4th is the minimum after last season and the strengthening of the squad.
I KNOW it's only pre-season and blablablah but all the signs are very worrying, especially looking at our opening 2 fixtures. At the moment I'm not feeling very confident at all, we still are incapable of creating anything. I've gone for 6th, hopefully when the season actually kicks off I will be convinced we are actually improving and not stagnating/going backwards.

I had a dream last night that we beat Liverpool 2-0. I was pretty miserable before the match, though, so I guess we must have lost to Spurs...

I expet the players to give everything every minute of every match and not stroll around like they did at certain stages of various matches last season. Beyond that, we'll probably get whatever we deserve.
