Like always do, would like to do some fun predictions here to check back in January or May 2018. I Predict another close Top 6 & Bottom 6. Title will be mainly between - Manu, Manc, Arsenal, Spuds, with Everton & Pool dark horses just. Relegation will be between - Brighton, Burnley, Southampton, Stoke city, Watford, H Town. Arsenal: Wenger to break top 4 hoodoo and bring them to their 2nd place again. Alexander could runaway with the Golden boot - if Sanchez signs a new deal? Bournemouth: With Ake, finally Bournemouth figure out their Defending and consolidate their top 15 position? Brighton: Chris will do well to avoid sack. But with their squad strength cannot look past it when (not if) they are flirting around R zone in Feb 2018 Burnley: After selling their main stay CB, they might actually struggle to keep cleansheets. Relegation is likely Chelsea: Hope Emenalo & Co's total incompetence doesn't piss off Tony. Hope we hold on to Conte to have a realistic chance at G-Spot aka Goon's spot. If Emenalo succeeds in pissing off Tony, God help us!! Bakayoko signing looks decent. Hope we get good squad players & main striker to have any chance of top 4. Crystal Palace: If they can get decent Defenders (not Sakho), Tammy might actually help them make top 12 this season. De Boer shouldnt bench Tammy to have any hope of survival. Everton: Shouldn't be a surprise for title. Rooney to outscore Lukaku. Bolasie, Sigurdsson & Barkley to feed the Yak.. er Rooney. Keane & Pickford should solidify the Defense. Everton need one more good Centre Midfield player. H Town: Wagner punched above his weight. Hope Chelsea loanees do well. Relegation very likely. Lester: Shakey will get them Mid table comfortably. Ndidi is real deal. He is trying to fill Kante's hole. Ndidi is impressive. Liverpool: Will do well to get 5th spot. With some decent CB & CM signings can get into top 4 as well. Man City: Pep failed with his revolution last season. He didn't have any proper Defenders most of the last season. He is addressing that already with Walker & Mendy. This might be Pep's season. Man Utd: Jose Fcuked up to get few more Million pounds this season. He is successful and Lukaku will struggle for that world record fee. Still Manu have the money power to buy the title. Newcastle Utd Rafa will not be happy. He will be looking at Pool, & Manchester teams and wondering wth. Rafa will do well to avoid relegation with that Toon setup. Southampton Will finally reach their level of relegation after sacking Mini Wenger without no reason. Stoke City Mark Hughes is long overdue for a fcuk up. QPR like Relegation beckons? Swansea Clement could / should pull Swans just clear if thye keep hold of their main players (Nando, Siggy & Alfie) or bring in proper replacements. Spurs Poch will get Spuds up to 3rd which is again above their weight especially playing outside 3pt lane. Watford Silva was little overrated. So might be found out here in Watford. Hope Chalobah does well. West Brom TP team - if he doesn't quit Baggies will be 12th with 43 pts. West Ham Bilic should be back to his best without the Europa league distractions. They should be comfortably making top 10. What do you guys predict?
Levy find missing safe keys and pays all remaining Spurs players £250,000 per week. Walker asks Merc City for a transfer
Liverpool & Spurs to finish outside the top four, Chelsea retain the title whilst getting to the semi's of the UCL. United to break there monopoly on 6th spot to get runners up by 1 point from City. Arsenal scrape 4th, Huddersfield, Brighton & Burnley get relegated with Newcastle surviving on goal difference on the last day.
Sacking Puel was one of the most ridiculous decision. You have grown too big for yourself. If Bournemouth consolidate their position, there is obviously no place for another PL club in your region.
I didn't agree with the Puel sacking for what it's worth, thought it was very harsh considering. Just curious as to why relegation is our level. Your region comment is just nonsense, 3 South Coast clubs in the PL this year
That might be back to one - just ask NE teams. You are a selling club who will sell family silver to make a quick buck. I expected relegation last season, but Puel did extraordinary to get you to league cup. You were only robbed by usual shaddy club. Everyone respected your team under Puel. Ridiculous doesn't cover your club's decision. So relegation may be 1 year late to your club, this season.
Quite possibly could be down to one next year, I don't think it will though as Hudders and Burnley will both go imo. Still 3 is the most there has ever been so it's progress for the southern teams... well except the skates of course Yes we are a selling clubs, most clubs are to an extent but you can't deny our model has served us well so far. You really don't like us do you?
Top 4 looks very much manageable once Morata completes his Medical & Personal. Batters is a decent backup & should sync up well with Morata.
Stan, you are totally ****ing mental. Arsenal 2nd? Southampton relegated? Chelsea scrape top 4? City to win the league? All wacko predictions in my opinion. Arsenal will finish 4th, Chelsea will finish top 3, City wont win as long as they have a manager who doesn't teach his players to defend (This isn't La Liga), and as for the Saints getting relegated...........Can't see it happening. There are loads of teams in the PL worse than Southampton. (Stoke, Hudd, Watford, Brighton, Newcastle, Swansea, Palace, Burnley)
