So, now the season is up and running, what are we expecting to get this year?
Would people be happy with nothing other than top 4? Last year our CL run was enough of a bonus for some to be happy finishing 5th. Would a good run in the Europa (or even winning it) this year be an acceptable consolation prize?
Now that Liverpool are back spending, and have decent looking side and manager, can we genuinely expect to finish above them? If not, is 5th realistic?
Despite Arsenal seemingly in decline, who's to say they won't bring in a couple before next week and have a good season? Don't forget they've been in those top 4 positions since Wenger took charge, so we really can't expect to finish ahead of them either, though it is certainly a possibility.
Would people be happy with a solid 6th if the team is playing good football and we have a couple of decent cup runs?
What do you expect us to do this season, and what are your minimum expectations?
