Rules: 1. The order of teams don't matter, you just need to get the top 4 teams and bottom 3 teams right. 2. Posters can change their predictions, but the first person to get the correct prediction will be deemed the winner. So if multiple posters picked the correct combination of teams, the first person to do so wins. (obviously don't edit your original post, you need to post a new post.

All the United fans slagging of Van Gaal are backing him to turn it around and get third or fourth spot. Strange
Or perhaps counting on the quality of our players and the perenial decline of those above us, to see us through. Not rocket science fellas
You have to wonder don't you? **** sake, it's pretty obvious that we have very decent players and all bar the current top three are distinctly average opponents. We really should get top four despite van Gaal. By the way, I'm an adult. You know, grown up and that. Therfore, me thinking van Gaal is not up to the job and is currently stealing a living doesn't mean I hate him. I can disassociate the feeling of hatred from identifying his weaknesses. I'm not ten.
You slated Benitez but Chelsea still ended up with silverware and top 4. This season you will support the latest interim (has any other PL club had as many interims as Chelsea?) and end up with **** all. Funny old game.
When Rafa took over we were in second position two points off the top, three months later we were 20 points behind the leaders (United), and out of four competitions (including World Club Championship)
Do you have that framed on your bedroom wall? You seem to brimg it out everytime someone shows up your hypocrisy towards Rafa. Whatever you say, Stan's not wrong is he.
Thats because he isnt a hypocrite when it comes to Rafa, for the reasons he stated. Accuse him of using facts to rebuke an erroneous statement! Rafa was ****e. If anything you guys are hypocrites when it comes to Rafa, he is **** when it suits you to slag off Liverpool, and he is awesome when you want to try use him, in vain, to diss Chelsea fans.
You and your fellow chelsea fairweather fan are having a mare, Bod. All Stan said was: You slated Benitez but Chelsea still ended up with silverware and top 4. All I've said is that nothing he's posted disguises that. Which, considering his post towards United fans, is hypocritical.
