**Official** English Football Season 2024/25

I don't really understand the objection? I appreciate variance is larger in cup competitions but how's the principle any different? If you can make it to the last 8 of a competition when there are comfortably more than 8 better teams than you, then that's a success?

The measure of success changes depending on the opposition that's put in front of you though. 'We'd have taken last 16 at the start of the season' changes when you finish top 8 in the league phase and get drawn against Brugge.

4 points from City and Newcastle would be pretty good IMO.

Its dangerous making definititve predictions about future matches for both Pool and Arsenal.

I look at Arsenal's fixtures, West Ham next should be comfortable but it is a London derby, then its Utd and Chelsea. United are useless but do game raise against the better sides although obviously could also get smashed and then who knows with Chelsea atm.

Fulham away then looks very tough on paper.

You forgot forest away next week and Fulham is at home.

Certainly not the draw Liverpool wanted in the Champions League. It was either PSG or Benfica and they got the French.

Looking at the paths through to the Final, you'd be happy being a Barca fan at the mo. The Madrid Derby in the last 16 is superb, whilst Bayern v Leverkusen should be fun too. Decent draws for both Villa and Arsenal, although Villa get Liverpool/PSG next and Arsenal will be heading to Madrid one way or another.

Should have been leverkusan vs real and bayern vs atleti. **** uefa. Also we should have got club burgge or psv not freekin psg

The post was specifically regarding preseason expectations
