    Doesn't look too far out. But after last season, who knows.

    The top 6 or so looks correct. Not sure about the order as there's been so many changes at so many big clubs.

    Incidentally, I think you will finish top half somewhere, unless Europe takes more out of you than you expect.

    ... why thank you kind sir ... I'm, perhaps understandably, a little more optimistic ... I feel we will be challenging for a European place ...

    I'm not convinced that the 'Pep' factor can automatically transform Citeh into title winners ... if Mourinho plays his best XI (which for me does not make Rooney an automatic starter) I would favour United over Citeh at this stage ...

    Chelsea, I think, will be relegated ... <whistle>

    And what is the table based on? Who knows at this point.

    Well, they're the bookies, Gonz. I guess it's based on their prices?...

    Top 6 is (sadly) usually driven by the financial power of the clubs.
    Any permutation out of that top 6 (bar Spurs / the Poool / Goons as winners) is likely.

    I'd put Leicester 19th after the exodus.

    Assuming Allardyce goes, surely Sunderland can't avoid relegation again. I hope they do avoid it as I'd rather not have to go there again.

    Middlesbrough seem to be throwing plenty of cash at it and seem to have a stronger squad, at least on paper. Maybe a reasonable bet for the handicap.

    I don't particularly dislike the team, although if anyone 'deserves' to go, it is them. I'm not a great fan of the town as an away fan just because it's a long way away and a bit grim. Losing Boro, Hull and Burnley means three fewer pretty poor away days. Unfortunately we're away midweek at Newcastle and Villa which would have been better.

    The English seems fine <ok>.
