Expectations= finish 4th.
Don't start with the "rich bottomless rivals" excuse either koz that's a load of büllshït, no excuse.
People underrate our players. If we get a good cdm then we have the first team to rival anyone. And in the Premier we're probably equal to city and just a shade behind Chelsea with Cesc.
Right now; third at best, win one of the domestic cups and a good run in the CL.
The hate for Giroud is sickening and out of order and also Sanogo, they give us something and we should be patient.
82-84 points at the end of the season. The rest of the league can sort itself out.
Expectations = A prolonged title challenge.
Do I honestly EXPECT Arsenal to win the league? Not this season, no. But I'd love to be proven wrong.
I'll stop short of banging on about the same old chestnuts, holding midfielder, keeper etc (which are needed of course). What will be key to Arsenal's success apart from players performing consistently, is their ability to stay fit. Arsenal have invested a lot into bagging a new fitness and injury-recovery 'team', spearheaded by the German national team's main man Shad Forsythe. That's a progressive appointment and one that's been a long time coming.
IMO there is nothing to suggest that we won’t challenge for the league this year. We have a fairly settled squad and had it not been for injuries would have fared better last season.
rich bottomless rivals like United, City and Chelsea
********************************************************
Still flogging that horse? You spent £40m on Ozil last year and another £30m+ on Sanchex. You might not be spending as much money as City or Chelsea but you're not that far off
It's all if's and buts,
If we can keep Ramsey, Ozil, Theo and Sanchez fit for most of the season, we can challenge for the title. If we can't then i expect 3rd or 4th.
If Diaby stays fit he will be the biggest LANS of all time. As a box to box back up to Ramsey he'd be incredible.
The hate for Giroud is sickening and out of order and also Sanogo, they give us something and we should be patient.
----------------------
The hate for Giroud is pathetic.
We'll do the treble with all of the world class players that we have, no one will stop us. Got a feeling that we will re-create the invincibles, we will win the Premier League with ease, the Champions League and we will retain the FA Cup.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
when has he ever stayed fit
Diaby will be a gamble though, I hope he finally stay healthy. Sanchez is a massive plus, we need to try to stop losing against above mentioned clubs and beat the rest like last season and we will be up there.
It depends if we get the DM that we all know we need, then i expect a sustained title challenge and no more thrashings.
Anything else is a bonus, plus we have to do better in the Champs lge and beat Chelsea at least once
Best to wait until 1 September when we know what we and other clubs have signed before making any predictions which may turn out to be ridiculous, and even then a lot depends on keeping our squad fit.

Never and the reality is he won't. However a full preseason is one of the best opportunities he's going to have to stay fit and condition is body.
If Diaby stays fit for over 5 continuous games, i'll...............dont' worry about it, it wont happen.

Ever seen the surgery scar on the outside of his left leg up close? The poor lad must have had his knee built up from scratch. I'd be glad if he gave us even half a season.

No I haven't. Is it really that bad?
I expect us to compete about the PL Legue title of course
We were close last season...so expect us to compete again.
I expect us to follow through on our big talk about competing again and no longer being financially constrained.
We can no longer point to sugar daddy clubs as an excuse for not being competitive, especially given the number of times Gazidis and co have said how much money we have.
I'm willing to see what Wenger can do without financial limitations, but if he doesn't improve on last season then serious questions should be asked of his capability to handle all the aspects of the club/team that he currently does.
I think we'll finish 2nd or 3rd and reach quarters or semis of CL - Cup competitions are far too unpredictable.

I think the club admin stopped him from sharing info about his recovery progress. There's worse, but it looks like someone kept this.
