Top 3

Arsenal (!)

Man U

Spurs (!!)

 

Poor Mourinho will fluff his lines after a long absence from the English game. The longest-serving prem manager will get his reward.

 

Bottom 3

Cardiff

Palace

Hull

 

Saints = 6th COYR! (fyi chelsea and man city are 4th, 5th)

That is rogue, I'd imagine some insane odds on that

Manchester United

Chelsea

Arsenal

 

Saints: 11th, poor end to a promising season. Player of the season is JRod, who helps himself to 19 goals and 9 assists.

 

Relegated, in no particular order:

 

Crystal Palace

Newcastle

Sunderland.

 

North East football implodes. Hull however survive by the skin of their teeth. Cardiff finish an impressive 14th.

Where do you think Liverpool and Everton will finish?

Very difficult to say at present. I think it's going to be a lot closer at the top than it has been in recent years with all the managerial changes.

 

I think Palace are certainties to go, but the rest will be to close to call as it often is. A lot of people keep saying Cardiff will be fine because they have money, but look what happened to QPR. I think the best equipped of the promoted teams to stay up may be Hull, as they have a manager who has been there and done it in the PL before and kept Birmingham & Wigan up and led the latter to their best ever finish in the PL, football might not be great to watch but he may get the job done there.

 

Sunderland are heading for disaster IMO, Di Canio is a nut case and not suited to working with PL players egos. They are signing players left right and centre, but QPR did that last season and look where that got them. Don't rate Hughes as a manager so I think Stoke will struggle plus they've been on a steady decline for a while and remind me of us a bit when we got relegated in 2005, stagnating squad...etc. West Brom could drop down the table a bit, higher expectations may take their toll and the loss of Lukakau is a big void to fill, but they've got enough about them to still be OK. Had tipped Villa for an improvement on last season and possible top half finish but if/when they lose Benteke that will all change. I fancy that to be a long running transfer saga where he ends up leaving late on in the window and Villa not having the time to replace him properly.

 

As for us, until we've completed our acquisition process then I couldn't say for definate, but early signs are good with the 2 signings and Shaw's contract. I predicted 8th last season and if we do as I expect by the end of the transfer window then I'll be sticking with that.

 

So far, Norwich and Swansea have done the best business for me and I think they'll both be competing for a top half finish, the latter's European commitments may hinder them a bit though.

 

As things stand I will say:

 

1. Chelsea

2. Man City

3. Man Utd

 

10. Saints

 

18. Sunderland

19. Stoke City

20. Crystal Palace

 

Ask again 2 weeks before the start of the season, and then again on 3rd September when the transfer window closes!

I think this could be the most exciting title race for a long time. United, City, Chelsea, Arsenal and Tottenham all have a realistic chance IMO.

 

At the moment I'd go with:

 

Chelsea

United

City

 

With Saints finishing 8th and a bottom 3 of:

 

Sunderland

Cardiff

Palace

 

In 6 weeks time this could be a different story though, particularly if Spurs and Arsenal sign a top striker each.
