Man City D
Nottingham Forest L
Brighton L
Aston Villa L
Tottenham W

Fuck me , not sure what happened to me when making these predictions , a draw against City and beating Tottenham
We will start this season with the same tactics and aging starting eleven as last season , so we may have the experience to maybe beat the younger upstarts in Villa and Forest , but really don't see it myself ,and if anything we will be relegation candidates by November.

Brighton
Aston Villa
Spuds

How many points do you expect us to have by the 1st Sempember

Man City.......................0 points
Nottingham Forest....1 point.....Lingard will come back to haunt us
Brighton.......................0 points..........they always do us
Aston Villa...................0 points......they have built a really good squad over the summer
Spuds...........................0 points.......another team that have recruited well

So hopefully I´m way off the mark ......it looks like we will sitting proud near the foot of the table with just the 1 point and chasing the pack......but i´m sure it will all come right in the end...........or not

Christ you put the P in Pessimist or did you just have a bad night!

Man City.......................1 points
Nottingham Forest....3 point.....Lingard will struggle (Cooper is not the messiah everyone claims he is)
Brighton.......................3 points..........they always do us
Aston Villa...................1 points......Mings is a massive liability
Spuds...........................1 points......I hope Conte self combusts soon. Richarlson won't do much for them

I'm usually the eternal optimist but until we can get the newbies involved on match day I feel that Moyes tried and tested team and tactics will be exploited.

The problem with few points for the first 5 games we will not have the momentum we've had the last 2 seasons and will be playing catch-up for most of this.

I think 7 points should be achievable. Anything more will be a bonus.
But it’s West Ham so anything can and likely will happen.

Anything less, Moyes out.

Really ?

Diego Carlos is decent but you have to wonder why he swapped Sevilla for Villla and they bought the geezer who was their reserve defender that Souček pocketed in the home game v Sevilla, Augustinsson. The only other one I remember them buying is Kamara.

Put me down for 7 points maybe 9. If we're sitting on only 1 point after 5 games we're doomed, Andy, fucking doomed I tell ya.
