Agreed. I think there'll be very little between 3rd and 6th, with a substantial gap to the top two. I'll be optimistic and predict that we will come out on top in that mini league:I think we could finish anywhere from 3rd to 6th. It'll be really tight behind the top 2
My exact top 4 with the exact same reasons. We'll grind out more results than Liverpool over a 38 game season. Expect them to win either of the domestic cups thoughCity
United
Liverpool
Chelsea
I had us 3rd a while back, but I see Pool dropping more points vs minnows than us.
And Chelsea jumping to 4th after I thought their window was pretty good all things considered.
That's the thing, everyone's looking at our squad/team versus say Liverpool or Chelsea, but it's not the games against the top 6 we struggled with last season, it's the stupid points we threw away against some of the so-called weaker teams in the league.My exact top 4 with the exact same reasons.

Bloody hell word for word accuracy. It's like my broken clock was right 24 times in a day.Yes I voted 5th. But despite the tingly glee of the click there is a reason. Mourinho in his 3rd season, football getting no better, no obvious strengthening (Fred and Dalot are sub par attempts at that). Oh yes, nearly forgot about about happy Pogba. Expect much drama, going back to my 3rd season point. Chelsea will be gunning for that 4th spot. Arsenal won't be far behind on their attempts.
Edit: Feck me I just read about the veto! Don't give the man a reason to hold a grudge, you won't like it when he holds a grudge!! Y'aaarggghhh!
I'll give it to you. So accurate it's scary!Bloody hell word for word accuracy. It's like my broken clock was right 24 times in a day.
Well done. Maybe dumbstar ain't so dumb after all.Bloody hell word for word accuracy. It's like my broken clock was right 24 times in a day.
My Aug predictions revisited in mid-January. Obviously I didn't predict Ole coming but I might as well have had. For what it's worth he has strengthened my prediction for Utd comfortably finishing 5th now.Yes I voted 5th. But despite the tingly glee of the click there is a reason. Mourinho in his 3rd season, football getting no better, no obvious strengthening (Fred and Dalot are sub par attempts at that). Oh yes, nearly forgot about about happy Pogba.

Bump, bumpity bump. Scary right? And for my finale Utd will win their 38th game of the season pipping bad-away-team Arsenal on the last day. And la voila. For those who continue to think all I ever do here is WUM.Yes I voted 5th. But despite the tingly glee of the click there is a reason. Mourinho in his 3rd season, football getting no better, no obvious strengthening (Fred and Dalot are sub par attempts at that). Oh yes, nearly forgot about about happy Pogba.

Looks pretty good to me.If the team stays relatively drama free and simply does its best, then 3rd or 4th. If Mourinho has a meltdown and unsettles the team, then 6th.
Think I'm going to put you on post block (if that function exists) if I see your username in the championship play off thread.I think we could finish anywhere from 3rd to 6th. It'll be really tight behind the top 2
That top.6 still looks possible? Hope you had a bet.1. City
2. Liverpool
3. Chelsea
4. Spurs
5. Arsenal
6. Utd
I was surprised at Spurs doing nothing and actually think 4th place is about right for Utd with the squad they have. However, the inevitable meltdown after another big loss against a direct competitor in winter will see a streak of bad results. Utd falling into 6th and won‘t be able to recover because Aubameyang and Kane will keep trashing those lower table sides week in week out.
I will even make a prediction for the CL cause where is the fun when you never put your neck on the line. Liverpool will go out earlier because they meet a big team like Barca or Juve in the early knockout stages.
Since I am not totally convinced by any setup of the big clubs in europe to win the CL, look out for City making their way to the final. Or PSG may go on to win every game of their season with a 3 goal difference and Mbappe for Ballon D‘Or, you never know
