    So... Only 2 days until the Premier League starts up again! It's been a long summer without footie!

    So... Who will win the league?
    Top 4?
    Surprise team?
    Players to watch?
    Relegation?

    I think City will win it...

    Top 4 will be City, Chelsea, United and Spurs imo.
    Surprise team... Norwich... They've made some shrewd acquisitions and look good.
    Players to watch... Wilfried Bony, Ricky Van Wolfswinkel and Kevin De Bruyne...

    Relegation.... I think Stoke, Palace and Hull

    Whatever happens, it has all the makings to be a cracking season.

    If no further transfers happen:

    1. City
    2. City, Chelsea, Utd, Liverpool
    3. Liverpool finishing 4th
    4. Hazard, Navas, Bony
    5. Palace, Hull, Sunderland

    If we get Rooney, I'd put us for the title.

    If Arsenal get Suarez, then Arsenal will come 4th at Liverpool's expense

    Tottenham will not make 4th with or without Bale.

    tbh in the last 3 seasons, out of the 9 teams relegated, 2 of them only were one of the newly promoted teams

    Not as much as they used to they dont. The promoted teams often do much better than many think. We are better equipped than last time. It is going to be a great season and all the best at the top end.

    I think we shall be 14th - 17th at worst this season.

    All the best like after sunday.

    We play Cardiff City @ home 4th game in. sat 14/sept so that will be a good guide to see who has done best in the summer window.

    It would be so funny if we beat you on Sunday! I guarantee you lot have not seen anything of city so your basically just guessing? I'm confident we can compete against most low prem teams.
