Hmm, so i'm with the masses in that i think we'll be third or fourth...the extreme nutters being @LemonadeMoney and @thingonaspring 
Hopefully the first nutter proves to be a visionary...

I think 2-4 really. I just thought I'd take the most extreme option that wasn't optimistic

We'll win the title. Why not?

United, City and Chelsea really should finish above us, not necessarily in that order. That should leave us fighting for 4th with Arsenal and Liverpool.
I'm going for 3rd, that we will beat one of the front-runners and hold off the other two. Our home record at Wembley will be worse than last season at WHL so we will need to improve away.

Would be my thoughts as well.

Why let him off so lightly? We should keep him here and really make him suffer.

I'm not totally sold on Chelsea. Their squad is almost as thin as last year and they have CL to deal with. Unless they maintain the same injury record as last year, I do not see them doing as well and could see us finishing ahead of them. United is also an iffy one for me. Sure, they're off to a flying start, but let's see where they are at the midpoint.

I don't disagree with any of that. I'll add City's iffy defence. I was just thinking based on what they have spent they should finish above us. My prediction was that we would finish above one of them, but then again Liverpool or Arsenal could do better than expected.
Ultimately I think we can finish anywhere between 2nd and 6th. To win the title against three clubs with such a financial advantage would be hard enough, without the partial surrender of home advantage.

I've voted 3/4th
But I see so many glaring weaknesses in the other sides it's scary
City have no centre backs still and arguably need a holding midfielder
Chelsea have no depth to their squad and will have more games. The manager will jack mid season too I think
pool have actually marginally improved the defence with the Scottish lad but have no spine at all really
Arse are falling apart so I fully expect them to put in a red hot run at some point as they always do then fade
United for me lack variety. Their still basically a Mou big physical side without enough pace for that style. He doesn't start Rashford enough and he is one of the quickest. And when he plays he swaps with Martial who is their other whippet. They will have massive confidence with the mighty win and they have had but the league is generally one on the head to heads of the top sides backed up with great form against the dross

I think we will be pushing for top 4 with every chance of making it.
I dont think we will be pushing for the title, but given the upheaval this season CL again is more than acceptable.

Wembley is our biggest challenge. No curse flimflam, just that we haven't adapted at all to that place yet, even with some exposure last season. And by the time we do, we'll be playing major catch up.
We look mentally weak at home at the moment. Teams with pace will expose us. Our build up play is currently very slow too, which isn't tiring out teams on the larger pitch as we should do.
It's the one area of our game that wasn't addressed properly in the transfer window...unless Poch sees Aurier's arrival and Rose's return as the answer.
