Dan Posted 18 April 2017 Posted 18 April 2017 Man City to win it I think. Then again I say this nearly every year. I think they're gradually improving after a mid-season blip and Chelsea are going a bit the other way. Be surprised if Man Utd win it. They'll spend massive again, and end up with an imbalanced squad, again.
Wymsey Posted 18 April 2017 Posted 18 April 2017 Also think Man City will do it too. Will be interesting to see where Arsenal will finish, whether Wenger goes or not. To go down: Bournemouth, Brighton Hull
FireFox Posted 18 April 2017 Posted 18 April 2017 As long as Bournemouth and Southampton aren't relegated, this will be the first time three clubs from the South Coast are in the top flight at the same time. Pretty sure when Bournemouth were promoted, it was the first time 2 clubs were (or maybe that was just the first time two South Coast clubs were in the PL at the same time).

Assuming Portsmouth still counts as south coast, they are Southampton were in the Premier League at one point. 2

Guest CityFan 06 Posted 19 April 2017 Posted 19 April 2017 I'd like us to challenge for Europa League qualification next season (17-18). I think it's a reasonable ambition, and doable. We need a good summer in terms of recruitment.

Blue ROI Posted 19 April 2017 Posted 19 April 2017 Who we get in the first few fixtures will determine how it goes. Avoiding nearly all the top clubs for the first 10/11 games in 2015/16 was massive. The scenario isn't likely to happen next season but if the first 3 out of 5 or 6 games were won we might fancy another strong season again. Teams in the champions league might have to face us before or after which if we're in form they won't be looking forward to. Hopefully Leicester will be a different animal compared to the start of this season.
UPinCarolina Posted 19 April 2017 Author Posted 19 April 2017 (edited) I think many of us at the beginning of the year predicted an 8-9th / 10-12th place finish - and it looks like we might well achieve that. Seems to me like we should be aiming for the Europa League. We might be able to squeeze 2 more years out of the core crop of players we've got now. Edited 19 April 2017 by UPinCarolina

Man City's squad is a bit unbalanced currently but when they get a decent keeper and some new defenders they'll have an amazing squad. Jesus, Sane (who I think has the potential to be one of the best in the world), Sterling, Silva, Aguero, De Bruyne and Gundogan, crikey.
Tuna Posted 19 April 2017 Posted 19 April 2017 I see Palace chairman Steve Parish will be one of the new 'dragons' on Dragons Den. Maybe we could send Rudkin on there and try and get him to buy Musa and Mendy 2

STUHILL Posted 20 April 2017 Posted 20 April 2017 I would like us to be competing with Everton for 7th/8th spot and also having 2 good cup runs, hopefully going all the way in one. Breaking the top 6 will be a tall order I think

As long as we're competing at that end of the table and not the dropzone

With the team they have they are going back down lmao, major investment needed. they've lost 10 times this season and to many of their players can't play at home(the pressure and all). Too many bottlers in that side. Their home form needs to be solid if they want to have a chance of staying up.
