    There will be an improvement on last season. (And about as far as my faith will go, ATM).

    I think we will finish last because we are really quite poor and all the other teams are simply better than us, better managers, better players, more money, better tactics and they never ever, ever make stupid defensive errors like we do. None of them concede goals from corners, none of them have problems with players wanting to leave and they ALL win trophies.

    Yeah we finished 3rd but it was more by luck than skill, Wenger clearly hasn’t a clue what he is doing and I can only guess that winning 4 FA cups and 3 Premiership titles was down to David Dein more than him, I also agree with all our ex-players views on the state of the team, especially Ian Wright and Tony Adams as they are so entrenched in the modern game and never ever make themselves look foolish unlike Wenger.

    Also why have we got no money? I know we are trying to pay the mortgage on the stadium off but come on?

    Why cant we sell players on? Surely it can’t be hard to sell on our unwanted players? Yes they are on big wages and are a bit shit but that shouldn’t put other teams off should it?

    I think Spurs, Chelsea, Liverpool and Newcastle will all be better than us this coming season, maybe Everton too as they are all settled prem teams, no turbulence and they are all rich and not exposed to the thievery of other teams like we are, I mean what are we? A feeder team…

    No manager in the world could make us champions next year. Whine about Wenger all you like. (Oh you did already? Fair enough) but City have bought the title, they will almost certainly spend big again and just get stronger. Utd have the best manager around and will doubtless spend big to try and unseat their rivals. Chelsea had a great Cup season but a very mediocre league season and have already started to splash money around to do correct that.
    These sides have to be hot favourites for the top 3 next year (could be in any order, my money would be on City, Utd then Chelsea) and whatever you think about Wenger and his spending, or lack thereof, we cannot compete with any of these sides in the transfer market. They all have more money than us because of the stadium debt and poor commercial deals which Wenger had nothing to do with.

    Liverpool and Spurs will doubtless spend to try and finish top 4 (as they have for years, and failed to consistently achieve as they haven't had as good managers as we have).

    If we keep RvP (which I'm increasingly fearing we won't) then we'll really struggle to finish top 4 next year. If we keep him I think we will finish 4th. As for the cups. CL we've got no realistic chance, the domestic ones...dunno. If we get favourable draws then maybe we have a chance but there's a lot of luck involved in cup competitions as Chelsea found out this year.

    there is a lot less luck involved with picking a team serious enough to win a domestic cup.
