This will be pochs third season and possibly he can deliver a trophy while staying in touch with the top four if we cant get back in it.

I really have no expectations. Last year was such a joy and I just want to see this young team continue to fight and develop. I'm confident in our long term prospects so I'm not particularly worried where we finish.

I'll take 4th if u offered it to me. But... It's gonna be a really tough fight ahead for us, Chelsea throwing money around... Manchester clubs with new managers.

Think the key is juggling champions league and the domestic league. Fingers cross we get the players we want in early so they will be ready for the start of the season.

COYS!

If we don't get a shadow for dembele (don't tell me Wanyama is, because he just isn't) and Bentaleb can't fill the gap, if he gets injured, then it'll be 5th or 6th.

If bents comes in and shows he's ready to mature and fulfil his huge potential and beasts it, then 4th.

Kept saying next season will be ridiculous and now we see how other teams are building. We simply have to be like-for-like deep as much as possible throughout the squad. Dembele is now the key and there's no concrete provision in place for a long term injury to a player that has a history of them. We shouldn't be in a position with this player (and his position/role) where we have to leave it to the football gods to show mercy.

well as dilly ding dilly dong kept telling his team last season, get to 40pts ASAP (hopefully within the 1st 15 games:whistle:)

to be honest never have expectations concerning Spurs, just hope i enjoy the ride as much as last season and we have a fit and healthy squad

Top 4 minimum. We've a settled squad. Quality all over the pitch. We have to sign the players we need and consolidate in top 4.

A tough season ahead and a good measure for the lads to see if they can go further then last time and grab a top 2 PL spot. Top 4 is going to be brutal however and throw in the added pressure of CL and you can see a real tough campaign ahead.

I'd be happy with top 4 again and QF's in the CL. I think a cup run will be too much for the squad. We haven't got quality in depth like Manure and City.

Totally agree with this. On paper, this season could be incredibly tough domestically with the competition we have for top 4.

Not sure how we'll handle it given the CL campaign to be honest but should be interesting!

I think it will be huge too have a couple of seasons in the champs league. If we get can there again that will be a huge step up. Esp given the competition this year

Win a trophy, no more excuses. It will be 26 years since we last won a major trophy by the time 2017 comes around. Other than that last 16 of the CL and finish above AFC.

I've no expectations this season, just going to try and enjoy some great footy and what will hopefully be more signs of progress. However I would love to see us beat the scum and chavscum's on their own patch!!!

I'd love an FA Cup win over most things. 1991 is too long.

Along with the league cup it is our only realistic opportunity of winning something next season. It has to be made a priority next season, we squandered the cups last season chasing a fantasy we cannot do that again.

League: Top 4 again would be great but could be tough so 5th wouldn't bother me.

Domestic cup: Would love us to win a trophy again don't mind which out of FA or League Cup really

UCL: I'd be happy getting out the group but getting to the Quarters again would be jolly swell
