Phil McNulty has given us his annual predictions on how he thinks the PL will turn out in the coming season. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/36962933 Suffice to say he is almost monumentally incorrect. Including tipping Liverpool for the 2013 PL title (When they finished 8th) and tipping Leicester for relegation last season (When they finished 1st). He has gone for a safe top 4 of 1. City 2. United 3 Chelsea 4. Arsenal For me I would be more inclined to go 1. United 2. City 3. Chelsea 4. Spurs Unless Arsenal sign a striker, they may fall out of the top 4, though I have predicted that for the last 2 seasons and it hasnt happened. Havent been overly impressed with any of City's signings so far, so feel United will edge it. Agree with McNulty that I think we will be third
United (2nd & 3rd) City & Chelsea (not in that order) Goons (usual 4th) or Liverpool (if Klopp fixes their Defense) Spuds to have a mare. Not wumming - but serious.

Yeah Abu Teacher. Looks like City have majority backing, with Jose not far behind. But it should be other way around tbh. 3 guys have picked us as well - which is great. More guys have dropped us out of their top 4.
Once a Spud, always a Spud. He has them #1 and dropped us out of top 4. Another one Jenas - who have us after the might Spuds at #3.
Arsenal finishing ahead of the two Mancs is just as laughable as Spurs to be honest. Waddle needs to check himself.
By not having the distraction of being in Europe, I'm making us as my favourites for the title. My prediction for the top 4: Chelsea Manchester United Manchester City Liverpool
would love it, if we can surpass Jose. But we need to finish 1st for that. too much to ask Conte in his 1st season in the pit. players should be up for it to prove Jose!!
....Chelsea top and no other London club in the top 4. Just like the fact that we're still the only London club to win the European Cup.
The only thing they can prove to Jose is what a bunch of mard arses they were for downing tools last season. He already knows how good they can be, he won the title with them.
I don't know Diego. It is a chicken & egg. Players downed their tools because Jose wanted out or Jose wanted out by making the players down their tools. Either way - Jose wanted out. I will partially blame Jose & Players there. Fully blame our useless hierarchy.
