Anything less than 10 points and it'll be a poor start.
Looks like our pre-season tour for the past three seasons have been piss poor.Things go wrong,needed signings not done.This current one feels even worse.The season is two weeks away.World Cup players won't start.We just need to win the first 4 games.
This season will be splendid.
I'm kinda happy we're going through a horrible spell, because the glory hunters will be long gone once we start playing real football and supporting United won't be responded by a nod, but a face of awe. I think everything happens for a reason and these are the years of temptation. I went to the same street bar for 4 consecutive years in Thailand, where the owner was a massive United supporter. The last time I went he had started supporting City cos Tevez went there. Long may the misery continue if we get rid of these kloppers..We will win all four.
We'll win the league this season, so I'm predicting a storming start.
What did I ever do to you?This season will be splendid.

12 points would be nice, yet we've won the title more than once after losing on the opening day. A different climate then, obviously. I'm expecting more like 7-9 points, with the pre season disruption and so on.
Makes you wonder what the Caf meltdown point is though. We could feasibly go as low as 5. Imagine.

We’ll win all 4.
I think we're a lot stronger than people give us credit for and can see us winning all four games. Spurs are the strongest team we face and they're in a similar boat to us with a majority of their best players missing pre-season/start of the season.

10 points, draw with Spurs
8 points
I think the last time we had Leicester first game of the season we went on to win the Treble, so...
If we don't get the two players Jose wants and the season starts poorly, things can go downhill pretty fast.
8 points, 2 wins 2 draws.
9 points.
Beckham scored a magnificent goal that day, one of my favourites by himI think the last time we had Leicester first game of the season we went on to win the Treble, so...
Same here, on the back of the summer of abuse from England fans for his red card against the Argies, in Fergie time too.Beckham scored a magnificent goal that day, one of my favourites by him

Leicester - lost their best player, Vardy and Maguire will be on holiday or just getting back fitness
Brighton - will struggle without the motivation of staying up, they now have to find the motivation to solidify as a regular in the PL which is difficult
Tottenham - They are very slow starters, it's borderline not a big game because Spurs need 1-2 months to play at a high level. We also have home advantage.
Burnley - The type of team that we slip up against, because they are very stubborn and you need good attacking play to break them down. Man City struggle a lot against Burnley so we will find it difficult.

Absolutely, it was magnificent.
3 wins then a defeat at Burnley.
Hopes: win all four games playing football that keeps me on the edge of my seat for 90+ minutes every match.
Fears: same old Snoozechester United putting me out by the 34th minute. Also, drawing three and losing one.
Predictions: lots of moaning in this forum.

Sanchez on fire, 10 goals in 4 games. 4 wins.
That’s the spirit!
If Sanchez starts the season on fire, we will win all. If not, then a mixture of draws and wins and worst case scenario of a loss at Spurs.
Not that worried to be honest providing the WC players are back for the 2nd game. The biggest fear is seeing no progress from last year obviously.
Burnley expected to win all three of their games to make a showdown.

I wouldn't be surprised if Burnley are fighting relegation this season. Won many games with one goal, & they could have easily ended up as draws, due to their lack of goal threat.
i was going to say top of the table for Burnley and relegation on the last day of the season.
Experience has told me that betting for Burnley to fail is throwing dosh away.
Brighton do not need the points so badly at the beginning of the season. Win or bust last season.
