Wba villa and Burnley to go down. .. saints 13th/14th. .. they may change after a couple of agreed signings but two signings so far for me indicate we won't adequately replace what who we sold
Bottom three will be Tottingham Pochspurs, Laliverpool and Wet Spam. I saw it in a dream last night.........and the night before.........and the 3 nights before that........
Have any of those actually left apart from Michu and Daveis though? I've only checked wiki but it has Pozuelo, Canas and Hernandez all down as Swansea players still. De Guzman hasn't rejoined on loan yet aswell as far as I'm aware
I think it will be tighter than ever at the top with the signings/potential signings of Chelsea, Arsenal and United. I think Liverpool will really miss Suarez and struggle to finish top four. Palace and West Ham I think have made some good signings, but it could depend on how Fat Sam plays them. I think Newcastle have bought well but could do with a decent striker. Hard to call with Saints as we've only made two signings and still have many more to get.

In no particular order I think the 'mini leagues' will be as follows. Really hard to decide the actual order. Teams that look doomed are hard to predict as they are most likely to get a new manager half way through the season, like palace, and could go anywhere from then on. "Arsenal Chelsea Liverpool Man City Man Utd" "Everton Tottenham" "Southampton Hull West Ham Leicester QPR Stoke" "Newcastle Palace Sunderland Swansea WBA Villa Burnley" If you break it down in that respect, 8th place looks perfectly attainable.
Not quite sure why Newcastle is being treated as an also-ran compared to us...they're having a rather excellent transfer window.
Because they are honour-bound to stumble unwittingly into some bizarre crisis of their own creation as some point during the year. We could start a pool on it. I'm saying, this year, Alan Pardew uses a French translator for press conferences and Coloccini sets his hair on fire while lighting the BBQ, putting him out of action for three months.
Agree totally, they have signed some very good players, and at present reckon they are certs to be top 10.
I think Burnley will go back down, WBA and Sunderland to join them. Saints will be good enough by season start, and will be better than: Hull, palace, Villa, WBA, Sunderland, Newcastle, Swansea, Leicester, QPR, Stoke, Burnley and West Ham so we'll finish 8th again....although 7th would be good, just above Spuds

I wouldn't mind that, just too see pardew looking uncomfortable on Motd. I don't think Sunderland will keep wickham, and he was the only thing that made them look anything like good enough to stay up. I think it will be a poor year to be a football fan in the north east though as I think Sunderland, Newcastle and Hull will all struggle this season. Its going to be a close season again with regards to who goes down so really, anyone in the bottom half could be seen as strugglers
