Too many unknowns to consider I feel.
No new signings, new stadium and world cup effect being the big 3.
The start to the season is crucial. We need to get out of the blocks quickly just in case there is any negativity over our transfer inactivity which is still very odd.

On the plus side, settled team that we all know works very well. Rose fit. Alderweireld fit. Front line intact with Moura being the Joker in the pack. Feel good factor from squad members performing well at the World Cup.
On the minus side, the team didn't do as well last season as in the previous. Long-term injury to Wanyama and decline of Dembele causes for concern. Risk that players get comfortable if there is no one to challenge for their squad places. Son not available for first month (how is this allowed to happen? - FIFA should sort this out). There will be few surprises for other teams against Spurs this time around.
Is the new stadium a plus of minus on matchday? Will find out. It took Woolwich a while to really get going in the Emirates - arguably, they never did really get going, and West Ham have been through similar recently, and it also arguably took Spurs a while to get going at Wembley too - the Liverpool game being when it seemed to really click. This could go either way, and the fans will have to really get behind the team early on to make the place feel like home for the players.
Doing well largely depends on the team rediscovering their 16/17 form - being solid, scoring more goals and conceding fewer again. And possibly hanging on until January (although I struggle to remember the last January signing that changed any team's fortunes significantly).

This season it’s time to stop talking and win something,what? I’m not sure not bothered quite honest but if the F.A Cup comes within reach then I’d be delighted. Champions league really not fussed about it either don’t get me wrong it’s good playing different oppo but for us it’s a money making venture even the most ardent fan wouldn’t back us in that competition. League I’d sacrifice CL for a cup! London pride Keep the chavs,pikeys and goons in there place that’s a must.
Yes it is OK. Can't see winning CL any time soon so a trophy and a season away from cl is acceptable.
Fair play for the fat Elvis mate.
The board and poch looked at city squad and basically gave up of trying to win the title this season imo. That’s why we didn’t go hard. We have the guns to make top 4. But a push for the title is far away at the moment. And we have the stadium to pay. Liverpool will also be scary I think. Woolwich is shit. Chelsea a doubt and united wank. Mourinho will be gone
Someone insert McGregor gif “who da fook is this guy?”
We'll probably draw our first two fixtures and people will spontaneously combust. Then we'll smash Man U after the journos had already submitted their articles describing a comprehensive Man U victory before a ball was even kicked.
Fuck no thats boring as hell!
2nd.
Liverpool won't gel fast enough**. Man U and Chelski will implode after two losses. Woolwich's signings barely improve them over last year.
There's no catching Citeh though.
CL: Depending on the draw, but we ought to good enough to get to knockout stages, then who knows.
FA Cup: We could win it...or we could draw Citeh in the 3rd round...
League Cup: odds are, we bed in youngsters and go no further than QF
(**Not sure about this...but let's be optimistic eh?)

You honestly telling me you wouldn’t love a season where we not only bettered the “invincibles”, but we actually won EVERY game?? I get what you’re saying but it would be incredible, especially as we didn’t buy our way to it like City!
