Expectations for 2014-15 season? Time to end the sucess/failure debate for all

[Alan Partridge 1,124]

League title

[Green Lantern18 54]

I for one would like to see a vast improvement from last season, because despite beating all of our rivals in the title race we still only finished 3 points ahead of Arsenal. Which is something that my friend has never stopped going on about. In addition to that my friend has also made a big deal out of the fact that Wenger finally finished a season with a trophy while Mourinho didn't.

Premier League & FA Cup or CL and I will be more than happy.

[Sidzeret 2,257]

Another of those Arsenal hammering. I fucking hate those cunts right now.

The only youngster who stands any chance of play time is Zouma and he might not even be here at the club(loan to other team). I wouldn't count on playing time for the likes of Kalas, Loftus Cheek or whoever get much playing time because next season is very important for Jose and his future, the expectation/requirement of league title means there isn't really much room for experiment unless we already won the league by March like MU last year or something.

that seems to have been the excuse for the LAST 10 Years

If you can do good in Carling Cup or FA Cup it will be good, if not no big deal.

CL the same, I don't have a obsession towards it as it was a couple of years ago to win it for the first time.

Now I want to win the PL more then anything.

Giving how we finish this season, I say not challenging for the tittle next season would be a disappointment.

We already know what we are lacking, so do the right transfer this window and we have a big chance of taking that last step to PL glory.

Cause City with FFP on their back, they will have to tread lightly.

Liverpool, ain't worry much about them till they improve their defense. But then again, we always have those one season teams. Maybe it's the same for Liverpool? A great season this one, and maybe a mediocre season next.

Arsenal, don't care.

United is the wild card for next season and we will have to see how things go for them this summer.

But bar any catalyst, I think Chelsea should be number 1 for the tittle next season.

For me personally I just want further advancement of our players skill and mentality, if we get that it should also coincide with more success on the pitch. We need a striker who is capable of bailing us out when we're not having the best of days... If the rumours are true and its Costa and Mandzukic we should be fine.

I want to see Hazard challenge for player of the year

Matic challenge for team of the year

Courtois win the golden gloves.

Lukaku score 10 goals from all comps

Ramires return to his form of two years ago

Need to make more use of our possession too, that's the area where Jose must improve the squad.

Will be awkward if Lukaku somehow plays for Arsenal or Spurs, would you still want him to score 10+ goals? Also Ramires is really unlikely to return to 11-12 form because now he needs to change his style and make himself more of a CDM than a box to box like he used to.

You should probably wait a little bit before asking for those two I doubt you'd like to see Lukaku score a lot for a different team if we sell him or having Courtois playing against us in the CL and advancing at our expense again.

Oh okay thanks Naustradamus!

I don't have to wait for anything if you read the title it says EXPECTATIONS in big, bold letters. I EXPECT Courtois to be back with the team, I EXPECT Lukaku to be back and see him as a capable 10 goal scorer...

Cole gone, Lamps gone, Cech probably not number 1. Only JT left. The future has arrived!!

Not an 'expectation' for next season but didn't know where to put it, lol!

[The_Flash 1,144]

I am really worried now losing Frank, and Cole and Luiz that we don't replace them with the same high standard of people. I am bit concerned.
