Well the season is about to start so I think it's about time everyone submitted their end of season table! I would wait till the transfer window shut but then we'd of seen some teams play and that's sort of cheating. I'll bookmark this thread (or we could sticky it) and we can see who got the closest at the end of the season, (we'll need something to talk about in the next pre season). 1)United 2)City 3)Chelsea 4)Arsenal 5)Spurs 6)Everton 7)Newcastle 8)Liverpool 9)Fulham 10)Aston Villa 11)Sunderland 12)QPR 13)West Ham 14)Stoke 15)West Brom 16)Saints 17)Swansea 18)Norwich 19)Wigan 20)Reading I've spaced out where I think the bigger gaps in the table will be with team sort of creating their own mini league (or in arsenals case having a nice time in 4th) Great to hear other posters opinions? (if you can't be bothered to do the full table just do the top 6ish and bottom 3ish.)
1. United 2. City 3. Chelsea 4. Arsenal 5. Liverpool 6. Tottenham 7. Everton 8. Newcastle 9. Sunderland 10. Fulham 11. Aston Villa 12. QPR 13. Stoke 14. West Ham 15. West Brom 16. Saints 17. Norwich 18. Wigan 19. Reading 20. Swansea
Right, I'm bored enough to do a full table. 1) Man Utd 2) Man City 3) Chelsea 4) Arsenal 5) Newcastle 6) Liverpool 7) Tottenham 8) Everton 9) Fulham 10) West Ham 11) Norwich 12) Sunderland 13) West Brom 14) Southampton 15) Reading 16) QPR 17) Stoke ------------------ 18) Wigan 19) Aston Villa 20) Swansea I don't really think there'll be any "mini leagues" as you put it, especially not in the bottom half.
Fair enough I just think they'll be the biggest point differences I spose. Interesting you think Villa will go down, good youth squad, good striker, good manager and a decent size fan base I reckon they'll up comfortably surely?
I have a gut feeling about that one. They were very poor last season and finished 16th in the end. They have a good manager now, but no cash to spend on players it seems. I don't see much togetherness in the squad and I expected a lot more from the young players. They were supposed to deliver last season and they didn't.
1) chelsea 2) city 3) united 4) arsenal 5) spurs 6) liverpool 7) newcastle 8) everton 9) villa 10) qpr 11) fulham 12) sunderland 13) west ham 14) southampton 15) swansea 16) stoke 17) norwich 18) west brom 19) reading 20) wigan

City or United to win...cannot see Chelsea or Arsenal doing it this season. QPR, West Brom and Wigan relegated. Saints to finish 13-16
1. Man City 2. Chelsea 3. Man Utd 4. Arsenal 5. Liverpool 6. Spurs 7. Newcastle 8. Everton 9. Fulham 10. Sunderland 11. Villa 12. QPR 13. Saints 14. Stoke 15. West Ham 16. Reading 17. Norwich 18. West Brom 19. Wigan 20. Swansea
I just dropped all the names into a randomiser thingy, we'll see come the end of the year whether I'm more accurate than people who could be bothered to think about it. 1) West Brom 2) Newcastle 3) Wigan 4) Chelsea 5) Southampton 6) Tottenham 7) Swansea 8) Sunderland 9) Aston Villa 10) QPR 11) Everton 12) West Ham 13) Liverpool 14) Norwich 15) Man City 16) Arsenal 17) Man Utd 18) Fulham 19) Stoke 20) Reading

Surprised at the many pundits putting Reading down near the bottom. We saw their capability to aborb us at St Mary's back in April. I reckon they will be able to do this to a good many Premiiership teams as well when playing away. Besides which they have considerable pace which is always an asset. Lets be bold and go for The Chavs and Arsenal to battle it out for the Premiership. It would make a lovely change for Manchester United to be off the pace. Going down. Choose any 3 from 12. I said many moons ago on another thread we could be a yoyo-club like WBA although it is not in our genetic make-up. But then again neither were too many promotions until recently. So yes, we might finish in the bottom three and come bouncing back again with a stronger squad. Just my thoughts and I know many will disagree so I am prepared to be taken to task.
My serious thoughts (I'm not doing a full table, **** that) - City to probably win the title with Utd and Chelsea in close competiton. Arsenal take 4th quite comfortably. At the bottom, well, pick 3 from Swansea, Norwich, Reading, West Brom, Wigan and us as major contenders, with West Ham, Stoke, QPR as a bit less likely, then pretty much everyone outside the top 7/8 as still pretty likely.
1. Man U 2. Man City 3. Chelsea 4. Arsenal 5. Liverpool 6. Newcastle 7. Tottenham 8. Fulham 9. QPR 10. Stoke 11. Everton 12. West Brom 13. Sunderland 14. West Ham 15. Wigan 16. Southampton 17. Aston Villa 18. Norwich 19. Swansea 20. Reading
Sunderland bore me rigid and i would like them to go down, their manager maybe just too good for that to happen (bring back steve bruce) the top 8 will probably be made up from man city, man utd, arsenal, chelsea, spurs,liverpool, everton and newcastle the remaining 12 clubs could finish in any order from 9 to 20 - so hard to call, much down to luck and lack of injuries bottom 3 prediction. 18. Norwich - like Norwich, think they will get too many draws this year but this could easily read stoke, westbrom,wigan,QPR etc 19.West Ham - more out of dislike to them 20. Swansea - great season last year - Laudrup a bit of an unknown
