Top 6? Bottom 3? Top Scorer? POTY? Now that the window is closed it'd be interesting to get some thoughts and views on how the season will pan out.
top 6 - Could be wrong but I see it as 2 groups of 3 really and within those groups it could be any order. However: - City Chelsea United Arsenal Spurs Liverpool top scorer RVP poty very hard to call. I'll go for Aguero or Toure bottom 3 hull palace sunderland
Top6 - I thought Spurs earlier but I think Arse will shade em now. Chelsea City Utd Arsenal Liverpool Spurs Bottom 3 West Brom Sunderland Hull Top Scorer RVP POTY Benteke
I think WBA will be alright. 1. Chelsea 2. City 3. Arsenal 4. United ------------ 5. Liverpool 6. Spurs 18. Fulham 19. Hull 20. Palace Top Scorer - Giroud/RVP POTY - The standard United player
I dont do predictions as a rule , but having watched Hull City's performances at our place and up at Man City, I've got a feeling they'll keep their place in the Prem!
Chelsea City Arsenal Liverpool United Spurs Newcastle Sunderland Palace Top scorer - RVP / Benteke / Sturridge POTY - Hazard A couple or shocks in there perhaps, but whatever, I like spicing things up a bit.

City/chelsea united Arsenal Spurs Liverpool Interesting that no one has £purs in the top 4 despite their financial doping via Madrid
I imagine a lot has to do with the result last weekend. I thought Spurs had finally completed the power shift but they lose and then Arsenal buy Ozil. With Arsenal's experience and Spurs insistent on bottling any good position they find themselves in, smart money is on the arse.
Exactly the same 100. I even did a post on their board saying I think this will be the year they oust the Arse from the top 4. Now I am not so sure. Not just the Ozil signing, but the players Spurs signed, on the face of it, arent as impressive as I first assumed. And DL has convinced me with some home truths about AVB's style of play and his teams' lack of creativity. I know it doesnt always work out that simple, but they got owned by a team that Aston Villa Tanked on opening day.
Man United Chelsea Man City Arsenal ---------- Spurs Liverpool RVP... If it wasn't for Suarez coming back into the team I would have said Sturridge Rooney Hull Crystal palace West Brom
Not for me. I'd have still backed Arsenal win, lose or draw. It's too early for a game like that to have any significance other than bragging rights. Arsenal are a cohesive unit, with players that have played together for years and with an experienced manager. People can criticise Wenger all they like when it comes to not being able to win things, but that man knows how to deliver when it comes to top 4. They've added a world class talent in Ozil and will probably strengthen in the January window. Liverpool are similar but with less quality and their chances will heavily depend on Suarez playing out of his skin and their spine staying fit, not being in Europe will probably help them improve their league position. Spurs are pretty a new team with an inexperienced manager with, IMO, an imbalance to the squad. People talk about our attacking midfielders but I'd rather have too much creativity than none at all. Arsenal to finish 4th at least is printing money in my view.
Lumped on Nadal to win the US Open about 4 weeks ago at 9/1. I think he's almost evens now. Pre-season football bets were: - Leeds to get promoted (can't remember the odds) - Dortmund to win the Champions League (22/1) - Chelsea to win the Champions League (12/1) Don't bet on the Premier League.
My current season bet has Chelsea, Napoli, Monaco, Atletico (without big 2) all winning their leagues and Wolves and Wigan earning promotion, did it in July and got 3201/1, only put a quid on it
1. Chelsea 2. City 3. Spurs 4. Arsenal 5. United 6. Liverpool 18. Newcastle 19. West Brom 20. Crystal Palace (getting very close to Derby's points "record") Top scorer - Van Persie/Negredo Player of the year: Yaya Toure
