As it stands:

 

1: Manchester City.

2: Manchester United

3: Chelsea

 

I argued that Arsenal could finish 3rd, but both Chelsea and Arsenal are in transition, and Chelsea have the financial backing to compensate for the loss of Drogba. Hulk and Hazard will be cracking signings for them.

 

18: Southampton

19: Reading

20: Wigan.

 

I can see Wigan having a rocky time of it at last. Reading will simply not have the strength in depth - I can see them starting well (doing a Blackpool if you will) and getting relegated. Us? Well naturally I want us to stay up, but my predictions are based on NOW, and with currently only 3 centre backs on the books, one of whom had a serious injury last year, we'll get relegated. Of course this will be addressed before the start of the season, and my predictions for our finish will rise. There are a number of teams I can see fighting it out for safety next season, Norwich (though under Hughton they have a chance), Swansea (Could be one season wonders), Reading (depends who they sign ultimately), Us (Depends who we sign ultimately), West Ham (God I'd love that, they'd be crippled financially), Wigan (especially if they lose Martinez and sell off the crown jewels), QPR (steady old signings but could implode), West Brom (a team punching above their weight) and even Stoke (their time could come...)

 

That's 9 of the 20 teams that arguments for relegation could be made, and throw in a bigger name in there for good measure (there's usually a bigger club that struggles) like Villa, and you have half the league. The fixture list has us starting badly (we often do anyway) but I think given the right signings, we could well progress through the season and finish mid-table.

WBA has really surprised me. Losing Hodgson and replacing him with Clarke looked like a recipe for a midtable team falling apart and getting relegated. But ehrm, they failed to read the manuscript?

I doubt he still thinks they'll be "fine", which sort of implies staying well clear of relegation.

 

At best, they will scrape out of the bottom three by a whisker.

 

Mind you, my predictions weren't so good - but I'd change them now, rather than be "consistent"

Hard to make any assumptions yet as I think the top teams will spend big this summer in order to chase City but here is my take:

 

Top 3:

1st Man United

2nd Man City

3rd Chelsea

 

Bottom 3:

18th Norwich

19th Reading

20th QPR

 

Saints 14th

 

A pretty good effort.

Excellent!! I hope you put money on this. 6 out of 7 spot on; damn Norwich/Wigan!!!

 

1. Man Utd

2. SAINTS (it is OUR finishing position)

3. Man City

 

18. Wigan

19. Swansea

20. Reading

 

N.B. Given the highly probable situation that we won't finish in our usual 2nd spot this season, move Man City up one and insert Arsenal at 3rd.

 

Not too bad.

Interesting indeed, given how some people slate Lawrenson and other journos for saying that Swansea would go down and QPR would finish top half, and yet a fair few people on here thought that not only were Swansea in danger of going down, but WBA were as well - and QPR were safe in most peoples opinions!

So in other words, to cover my arse, I just basically say half the league table can get relegated and I might be right. I believe this is called sitting on the fence.

 

Not many people predicted QPR though...

The difference being: these predictions were made before a ball was kicked; Lawrenson continued to predict loses for Swansea and wins for QPR throughout the entire season.

Saint Scott is actually from the future and has one of those almanac's seen in Back to the Future II. He got one of them wrong on purpose so it wouldn't look like he's cheating.

 

:p

 

Well done sir!
