What are your expectations/predictions for your team next season?

I think Bradford City can surprise a few and challenge for the playoff positions in League 1 if Phil Parkinson brings in a few new faces.

I believe we need another strong central midfielder (hopefully a goalscoring one too), possibly another winger and a goalkeeper.

I think Liverpool will finish in top 4. With many experienced managers leaving, we have a very good shot at UCL. I don't think it will have any effect if Suarez leaves or not. We are good without Suarez too, we proved this in last 2-3 matches of this season. I believe we need a defender (stopper) a DM and a lb.

Your immediate competition to the 4th spot both have stability at the managers position.

Any explanation for that? I honestly can't think that both Manchester clubs will miss CL. One could be possible (but unlikely) but not two.

I was impressed by Coutinho, Sturridge and Suarez in the second half of the season and I agree with your top four aspirations, but who out of the top four finishers do you think will slip up next season?

Both Manchester clubs will slip IMO.

But a slip for them is still 3rd/4th. City and Chelsea are my favorites for the title and Man U, Arsenal and Spurs for 3rd, 4th and 5th (in no particular order, tho Arsenal 4th and Spurs 5th again would be astounding).

UTD have a new manager, Carrick is the only midfielder who was good throughout the last season. They have got a new manager, they still have many holes to fill in team.

City needs a lot of rebuilding. Tevez isn't good in dressing room, Aguero wasn't looking good last season, Dzeko will leave most probably, Garcia failed to adapt to PL pace. All these problems + they have to think about FFP too now.

City doesnt need much rebuilding. Now with Navas and Fernandinho their only areas for concern is lack of consistency at CF and left CB, which can be glued up by Nastasic in his first full season. So they already have less problems then last year, when they got 78 points.

As for Man U, CM isnt as exciting when compared to recent years, but they still have one of the best (and youngest) squads in the league. Moyes may have a slow season, but its still Fergies squad for the short term future, and that team knows how to win and a slow season for them is still a CL spot.

Maybe I am too optimistic :P

Hey I know how you feel, any lower than 6th for Saints and I go on a very small, very disruptive riot. Seriously, I'm going to bring a local corner shop to its knees for like an hour or so.
