doddisalegend Posted 6 August, 2014 Share Posted 6 August, 2014 We're in a rebuilding season. Hopefully this summer will never be repeated and, though we will always loose players to the big boys, we won't loose so many in one window again. With that in mind 12th we'd be an execllent season for us after the summer we've injuried hpeful followed by a summer of stable rebuilding next year.

EBS1980 Posted 6 August, 2014 Share Posted 6 August, 2014 I'd be surprised if Stoke finish that high. I'd settle for 10-14th to be honest after the summer we've had! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The9 Posted 6 August, 2014 Share Posted 6 August, 2014 I'd be surprised if Stoke finish that high. I'd settle for 10-14th to be honest after the summer we've had! Why? They came 9th last season, only 6 points behind us, and they've not lost half their starting line-up like we have, so there's one place they should gain for a start. I'd say they were a very good shout for finishing top half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevegrant Posted 6 August, 2014 Share Posted 6 August, 2014 Stoke will be there or thereabouts. I'd be amazed if either West Ham or Palace are as high as 10th and 11th, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Wayman Posted 6 August, 2014 Share Posted 6 August, 2014 For starters Burnley won't go down, they are preparing very well and signed a bucket load of good players with more to come and are led by a board that actually seem fully committed to them being in the PL long term. They will probably be one of the surprise packages. Sunderland, WBA & QPR for the drop for me. Saints 16/17th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KelvinsRightGlove Posted 6 August, 2014 Share Posted 6 August, 2014 Hull 13th? Rare a team improves on the previous season (16th) with a Europa League campaign to contend with. Don't think they'll go down, but imagine they'd probably be around 16th again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will be lucky to beat Derby's total IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Convict Colony Posted 6 August, 2014 Share Posted 6 August, 2014 Someone really needs to look over the last 2 season's and work out an accuracy margin or some sh*t then apply it to this season's rating above.

Judge_B Posted 6 August, 2014 Share Posted 6 August, 2014 Racing Post have us finishing 11th. They also highlight Tadic as one of the best buys of pre-season so far, though they're not as complimentary about Pelle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree - love to see Liverpool hit 5th though!!! I'd take this prediction right now. 12th?! That'll do me this season. I think Swansea will go down though and Leicester will survive.

farawaysaint Posted 6 August, 2014 Share Posted 6 August, 2014 I think fifth is the very best Liverpool can hope for. It all depends on what Van Gaal can do, he's the only premier league unknown quantity but all signs point to the Scousers missing out on fourth.

Pwoite Posted 7 August, 2014 Share Posted 7 August, 2014 Now can anyone predict a table at this stage, when players are still being transferred? By this time next week I'd hope that our position, with players in, will be totally different from where we were a couple of days ago. Ings, Forster, Rojo and a couple more suddenly is worth at least five places in the PL. Add Classee (sp), and potentially better still. Currently I see us around 16th, but with the rumoured names in, up to tenth, and with a couple of good surprises we might match last year's performance. (I think the consensus is that we were actually better than our final placing last season, but just didn't deliver against the top clubs above us. Give Koeman instill that belief when Poch couldn't? Mind you, if we don't get these players in, I'm all prepared to put that rubber sheet back in place! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eelpie Posted 16 August, 2014 Share Posted 16 August, 2014 I'll start with FourFourTwo magazine, and we could probably collate them all in here? That seems reasonable. 12th seems a good bet considering we will be fielding several new players. But I can't see Palace above us and I think Sunderland might well do better than 16th.
