    Expectaions 2008

    We've had a similar thread before and if the mods want to merge this fire away, but a lot of singings have been made in the meantime and I'd say most clubs are close to finishing their signing.

    So the question is what are your realistic expectations for your own club for next season? So come off the fence and say it straight up, so we can come back and laugh at all of those that were horribly wrong(probably myself included) when the season ends.

    League: 2nd
    FAI Cup: Semi final
    League Cup: don't care
    Setanta: Final
    Europe: 1st round proper-Uefa

    For Shel's i'd think we should compete and finish in the top 3.. promotion is possible considering some of our signings....(Barring in mind only the champions get promoted this season)

    In the cup's, we'll i'd like to see us knock out a few of the premier team's, but a good cup run in one or both of the cups would be nice.

    League: 9th
    FAI Cup: don't care, cup run would be nice but not expected.
    League Cup: Not a Derry fan therefore don't care

    Would take that with both hands right now. Its not impossible we'll do better but that will do just fine for now.

    I'd expect us to be top 2 with a real challenge right to the end of the season
    Cup's are anybodies really, Don't expect a double but you never know
    get through 2 rounds of Inter 2bob would also be nice

    Agree 100%. Anything from 9th up in the league will do us this season. The Cups are just a bonus. I'd rather still be in the Premier this time next year than winning any of the Cups.

    We appeal to the guy who owns Dubai Cuisine on Wicklow St. to buy-out our Yank after relations with the fans turn sour when the Yank sobers up and realises where he is. In other news,

    League: 5th-8th
    FAI Cup: I don't get arrested for drunk and disorderly
    League Cup: Dubai Cuisine give out free food at their first game in command after the takeover

    Apparently we are operating on a low basic wage and then bonuses depending on result and league position. This should get the players that didn't perform last season going for us.

    League - Top 4
    Cup - Anywhere past the second round would be a bonus for us

    Honestly believe we should be aiming for mid table despite so many hoping we go down. A good run in the FAI cup would be great. Europe.... you must be joking

    Top three for us. A cup run would be nice.
