Premier League 2024/25: Hamstrung Race

[A_G]

Time to turn the page on 23/24. We ended the year on a strong run, time to carry that momentum into next season and finally overtake City. We’re so close to greatness.

I correctly predicted 2nd both the last two seasons. Dare to say 1st this time..? Not ready to put that out there yet.

Gotta see what the transfer window looks like surely. @A_G moving prematurely again as per.

How’s it premature when there’s no poll?

So you’re not only premature, but you’re also firing blanks?

What kind of defence is this?

Going for 1st, went 2nd last season. COYG!!

 

[SA Gunner]

I’m looking for 95 points, and a semi final CL appearance.

And enough depth for a Carabao and FA Cup run.

 

[GoonerJeeves]

I've gone with 3rd for the last two years. It might be time for some toxic optimism in this year's poll...

Oh is that all? Would be one of the best seasons in PL history. Not impossible but a tall ask all the same.

I think Arteta should go full Wenger on the Carabao though and just play all the kids, that cup is such an unnecessary drain on the squad. Good opportunity for the youngsters to get proper minutes and not cameos.

Reality is given what we’re up against it’s very hard to call 1st - it’s easier to give a pts target.

I mean just look at this team man…

 

[BergMan]

Now that Pep is leaving, our road to dominate English football for the next decade is laid out.

 

[boonthegoon]

Top 2 + deep cup runs (semis) is what I expect as minimum

But not sure how the new cl format will affect things but let's see

 

[Gooner Zig]

Is it really a third time when we didn't really expect a title push in 22/23? Feel like that season was a free hit imo

 

[Riou]

Same season as we just had, in terms of title challenge and definite Champions League qualification...plus a trophy, minimum.

Ideally the league, or even the FA cup (we need to increase our lead back to 2 in this, can't have United equalling us ffs) but the thought of a 5th trophyless season means we can't even turn our noses up at the Carabao...we can't just challenge again and win nothing, we do that then the current group just ain't it.

Gonna try and be positive after the awful end to the season and back us to win something, please Arsenal

I feel like you’ve aged a few decades over the last 2 seasons.

With the way it's going for me these past few years, I wouldn't be shocked if Madrid and Dortmund both somehow get kicked out of the Champions League final and the trophy somehow gets awarded to Tottenham

 

[Riou]

Don't even know what to make of the Champions League, especially with the format change.

Funny enough I have some experience in this format, as that's how the Hockey Champions League works lol...trying to keep track of everything was a bit crazy.

Going into the last gameweek, the Belfast Giants could have qualified out of it as all we needed was 1 out of the 5 other matches to go our way...all 5 went against us on the Tuesday, making our match on the Wednesday pointless...so very glad I can draw on this wonderful experience for football next year!

Should have known this wasn't gonna be my season after that...5 matches and not 1 goes your way, ****ing odds of that

 

[Gooner Zig]

The thing is we don't have to even be that much better than this season to hit low to mid 90 pts

 

[Blankety Blank]

Fkin hell Tough crowd.
Lot of early talk that we are smashing 90pts on here!!

Not saying we can't but it's sure not a given. A lot of things can happen over a season.
If we keep our most important players fit & make some good signings/squad depth all I will say right now is that we should challenge for the big gongs.

Ngl feel exhausted as a fkin fan after 2 seasons competing with City.

It depends how the manager/players respond but I'm certainly not taking it for granted

We also have the international tournaments in the summer. imho there may be a little dip & we could be stronger the season after?

Will make a prediction after the transfers have been done far too soon at the moment.

Right now give me 80 points + a cup & I'm snatching ur hand off.
