Elliottman Posted Tuesday at 17:18 Share Posted Tuesday at 17:18 Would be interesting to go back and look at the last 5 years of those predictions and see how close they’ve been Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superior Acuña Posted Tuesday at 17:20 Share Posted Tuesday at 17:20 (edited) Actually if I'm understanding that correctly, it has 4th as our most likely position (marginally). But when putting it into a table, it has Chelsea as having a higher chance of 4th than us. Gives us a 1/4 chance of being in top 4 basically.

West Ham are a slight concern too now they have a functioning manager. all depends on the next two weeks. 8th is a joke , I am not seeing Spurs and Chelsea above us at all, Spurs only finished 6 points ahead of us last season and that was after they had a brilliant start to the season and we had everything possible go against us all season long with injuries. Chelsea only finished 3 points ahead of us last season and now have a worse manager and are probably going to rely on Palmer scoring a daft amount of goals again. I really think people are underestimating us after last season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really think people are underestimating us after last season. Maybe, but Wilson is another year older, Tonali has had a year without playing a match, Botman and lascelles on long term injuries, no sign of a replacement for Almiron. we’re relying massively on not having any injuries. Anything to Schar, Pope or Isak and we’re absolutely screwed. bringing in an unproven striker and yet another left sided defender hasn’t exactly strengthened us imo. on the plus side, Hall looks absolutely class so hopefully that’s the left back spot finally sorted.

kingxlnc Posted Wednesday at 07:17 Share Posted Wednesday at 07:17 Good points. Things are precarious and I think that's why people are frustrated, it only needs two or three top class players to finish this team off and mitigate some of these risks of a long hard season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
54 Posted Wednesday at 07:38 Share Posted Wednesday at 07:38 Phil McNulty has us ninth: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cdrlyg088r5o Quote Strange summer at Newcastle United, with churn backstage caused by the departure of Amanda Staveley from the boardroom and the arrival of Paul Mitchell as sporting director following Dan Ashworth's move to Manchester United. The European football Newcastle thought they had was taken away by Manchester United's FA Cup final win over Manchester City, while profit and sustainability rules (PSR) meant the reluctant sales of Elliot Anderson to Nottingham Forest and Yankuba Minteh to Brighton respectively. And then came the revelation that the departure of last season's star man and England winger Anthony Gordon to Liverpool had even been discussed to raise funds until other players left. Throw in the speculation linking manager Eddie Howe with England and it has hardly been plain sailing on Tyneside. However, if Newcastle can get a deal for Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi, arguably England's best player at Euro 2024, over the line then the club and the Toon Army will feel a lot better about themselves. Top 10 but still some uncertainty at Newcastle United. I do think people are massively overblowing how "Turbulent" our summer was. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Optimistic Nut Posted Wednesday at 07:49 Share Posted Wednesday at 07:49 7th is par, given we've the 7th most expensive squad, 7th most highly valued squad and finished 7th last season. I think we can nudge up a couple of places though. 5th would be ideal and should get CL this time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's it. It wouldn't at all be surprising is Isak suffers another groin issue, Pope has further shoulder issues or a couple of hamstrings go in defence. With a very average right side, we're highly vulnerable to a couple of key losses elsewhere. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We battered Spurs at St James and did the double over Villa but the way pundits go on. You’d think we’re light years away from them never mind the top 3.

I get what you’re saying but surely 7th means the project has significantly stalled / gone backwards? The owner said 12 months ago he expected us to be in the top 4.
