Premier League 2010/2011 Predictions

[Tom84]

Only 2 weeks to go before it all starts and so far City apart everyone has been very quiet in the transfer market both Chelsea and Arsenal have lost some experienced players and IMO weakened themselves without any signs of anyone new being brought in, United & Spurs have pretty much stayed the same, Liverpool look like they've kept hold of Gerrard and Torres but look like they'll need to replace Mascherano and find a LB and City's spending doesn't look like it's anywhere near stopping having already signed a new centre back, new left back & a new wide player (with probably at least Balotelli & Milner still to be signed) so as things stand I'll go with the following....

1st - United
2nd - Chelsea
3rd - Man City
4th - Arsenal
------------
5th - Liverpool
6th - Tottenham
------------
18th - Wigan
19th - Blackpool
20th - WBA

And for good measure;

Champions League
Chelsea

FA Cup
Man Utd

Carling Cup
Man City

Got a sneaky feeling for Chelsea in Europe this season

 

[Tom84]

ffs, CITY WILL NOT OVERTAKE ARSENAL!!!!!!

It's more likely than Arsenal winning the league that's for sure

 

[Tom84]

P.s. I'm really not convinced Man Utd can do well this year, but I guess they will do the same thing they do every year.

You see I really dont see why so many people have that opinion, there were points of last season where the majority were ready to hand the title to us and when it came down to it we only missed out by a point add that to the fact that for the majority of the season we were without both Ferdinand and Vidic in defence.

Not to mention Chelsea IMO have weakened themselves massively by releasing the likes of Belletti, Ballack & Joe Cole and look no more likely of signing anyone whereas we haven't lost anyone and have strengthened our squad and who knows we're still apparently the bookies favourites to sign Ozil....

1st - Chelsea
2nd - Man City
3rd - Man Utd
4th - Liverpool
------------
5th - Arsenal
6th - Tottenham

Interesting, you really think Liverpool will finish higher than Arsenal? Or is it wishful thinking?

 

[Tom84]

Not that surprising surely, over the past 5 seasons Liverpool have collected 12 more points than Arsenal, and also won something. Couple that with Arsenal's defence being decimated (4 centrehalves leaving for free) this summer and it is perfectly feasible.

True, was just interested as the Liverpool lot have been fairly quiet this summer about where they think they'll end up next season

 

[Tom84]

Not really. Liverpool and Arsenal will remain in the top 4 as long as neither have a disastrous season (like Liverpools 09/10).

No chance, even though I honestly believe City have a very average manager (in comparison with say SAF or Wenger) there's no chance with the money they've thrown at new players this summer they wont finish in the top 4

It's just a case of whether they finish 3rd or 4th imo, they wont break the United/Chelsea top two though

 

[Tom84]

1st - Liverpool
2nd - Chelsea
3rd - Arseanal (sp )
4th - Man City
------------
5th - Man United
6th - Spurs
------------
18th - Wolves
19th - WBA
20th - Blackpool



Champions League
Real Madrid

FA Cup
Aston Villa

Carling Cup
Who cares?



Man United have an awful awful squad. They won't be able to ride their luck this season, they'll really be off the pace.

Liverpool only have 1 competition to go for this season, Prem, Prem, Prem. Chelsea will also challenge of course. Just watch the difference of not having to play Champs league football for L'pool.

Blackpool to be the new Derby FC.

Laughable, seriously laughable

1st Arsenal
2nd Chelsea
3rd Man City
4th Liverpool

5th Man Utd
6th Tottenham

18th - WBA
19th - Wolves
20th - Blackpool

And this

 

[Tom84]

I bet everyone said the same when Liverpool won the champs league, or when Pompey won the F.A cup, or when Greece won the Euros.

The great thing about football. You can't predict it.

Nope you're right you cant predict it

 

[Tom84]

New season, same old Arsenal sceptics. What are people basing this on? We had a good crack at things last year and this was with goalkeepers costing us cheap points and half of the first 11 injured for the last few games (and lots of key injuries throughout the season). And I don't care what anyone says, no one else in the top 6 had the same level of injuries as Arsenal.

Had to lol at that, you're complaining of people continually writing of arsenal and then you go and put them ahead of united - people write off us every summer only to be proved wrong so you're guilty of doing the same that you claim people do to your team

(Not to mention the gulf in class between the two teams has been clear to see over the past two years)

Besides who has put you anywhere below 4th? Considering you finished 3rd last year only 4 points ahead of spurs iirc then you finishing 4th next season given citys spending isn't that hard to believe at all!

 

[Tom84]

I would love to see someone like villa or everton defy everyone and finish higher than the likes of city, spurs and liverpool, won't happen though

 

[Tom84]

Hey top 6 I didn't do too bad, City could finish ahead of Arsenal and Liverpool could also finish above Spurs

Could possibly get 2 of the relegation spots right as well

 

[Tom84]

LOL at the comments made about United, finishing 5th was probably the best

People never learn

 

[Tom84]

Brom are the big suprised for everyone it seems this year, 11th is damn good going for them.

Probably wouldn't of done it without Hodgson though

hehe
