[RichardL]

Shamelessly stolen from last year's 4-4-2 magazine.

Annoying the fans of big clubs who believe they should be beating clubs 'like Reading', and an 8th place finish.

What will be your excuse for failure?
Can't compete with clubs able to spend TV parachute money

Nicky Shorey. The only player we've had for years who's realised that you are meant to try and score from set pieces.

Bas Savage. Bambi on Ice.
Or Shaun Goater. Useless immobile waste of space and money.

None. He seems capable of screwing up his career on his own.

[salmacis]

Shamelessly stolen from last year's 4-4-2 magazine.

What has your team got to look forward to?

Survival. 17th will do me nicely! Seeing Kanu back to his best would be a treat as well.

What will be your excuse for failure?

Are you kidding? We are Palace...


Young player to watch?

Wayne Routledge


Most important player?

Ultimately, Andy Johnson or Sandor Torghelle. One of them will have to become a Premiership scorer if we're going to have so much as a prayer.


Player you would most like to get rid of?

None of them. After Cardiff, they're heroes to a man. Course, a lot of them can't play football but that's another story.


Have you got the right manager?

Wouldn't trade him for a spit roast with Winona Ryder and Angelina Jolie. Well, I would actually but anyway...


What advice would you give him?

I am not worthy.


Will he still be there in May 2005?

Probably not. Isn't Fergie retiring around then?

Don't like him personally, but can't argue with results.


What team do you want to beat most?

Brighton, so let's hope we get 'em in a cup.

A certain Mr. Gray. And a lot of it.


Where will you finish?

On the floor in the bog, puking.

[Matt Clark]

What has your team got to look forward to?

Some rather more engaging football than has lately become the norm, hopefully. Oh - and opposition defenders with brown streaks down their legs as the ball gets played up to Cisse again.

What will be your excuse for failure?

None will be offered.

Young player to watch?

As last year, Jon Welsh. Remains to be seen how much time he will be given though. Beyond that, Florent Sinama-Pongolle and Steven Warnock.

Most important player?

Micheal Owen.

Player you would most like to get rid of?

Salif Diao. Clodhopper.

Have you got the right manager?

Time will tell. CV is in order, early evidence of footballing mentality is in order.

What advice would you give him?

Try to avoid mentioning corners being turned for at least your first full year in charge.

Will he still be there in May 2005?

Yes.

Are you happy with your chairman?

I have no reason not to be, although there are those that do not share such a view.

What team do you want to beat most?

Arf ...

Which opposition player will get the most stick?

Gary Neville, obviously.

Where will you finish?

At Anfield, against Villa.

[The Double]

What has your team got to look forward to?

The inevitable Mid-to-late season collapse.

What will be your excuse for failure?

Everybody getting injured, again, for the 8th consecutive season in a row.

Young player to watch?

Gus Poyet. Ha ha ha........
Hm..........Not counting Defoe, I'd have to say Reto Zeigler. I've heard great things about him.

Most important player?

Well, its not Gary ********ing Doherty, that's for sure. I'm leaning towards Robbie Keane, but I'd have to say Carr.

Player you would most like to get rid of?

It happens to be a tie between Richards and Doherty.

Have you got the right manager?

To be quite honest, I don't think so. Only time will tell. I do believe we have the right coaching set up, though.

What advice would you give him?

Keep calm, and don't pay that much attention to the media. Oh wait, you're French, you don't understand English yet. Carry on.

Will he still be there in May 2005?

Yeah, he'll be here longer then the Hod was.

Are you happy with your chairman?

As of late, yes.

What team do you want to beat most?

Arf ...

Which opposition player will get the most stick?

Sol Campbell

Where will you finish?

14th-11th.

[Montréal United]

My view for Newcastle

What has your team got to look forward to?

A lovely club crisis with its star, manager and chairman making fools of themselves or PK11 and Butt ressurecting their career.

What will be your excuse for failure?

Injuries as usual...

Young player to watch?

Steven Taylor, future England hopeful at centerback for his potential / Darren Ambrose to see if he can man the right wing efficiently.

Most important player?

Do I really need to help you here? Of course it's Alan Shearer

On second thought, Jonathan Woodgate (when healthy truly raises the team's composure)

Player you would most like to get rid of?

Lots of support for Laurent Robert, but I like him. I don't know as Viana is gone on loan and I keeping an open mind (until the first mistakes of the year...).

Have you got the right manager?

Yes, he's pulled the club from some dark days. Unfortunetaly, Fat Freddy won't make it an easy year.

What advice would you give him?

Watch out for the backstabbers

Will he still be there in May 2005?

50/50. All depends on the start of the season. If it was August 2005, then an easy no following Fat Freddy's comments

Are you happy with your chairman?

No...

What team do you want to beat most?

Sunderland

What they're not in the Premiership??? Oh, then the smoggies (Boro)

Too many to count, but Kevin Phillips can count on a nice welcome from St. James' crowd.

If everything holds up, 4th
If all hell breaks loose, 12th

Give the youngsters a chance

Will he still be there in May 2005?

Definitely

Are you happy with your chairman?

Very

What team do you want to beat most?

Arsenal obviously

Which opposition player will get the most stick?

Judas

Where will you finish?

6th

[DevilDave]

Jason Koumas

17th.

I'm generally in agreement with the rest, but I will say that since we signed Kanu, it's equally important that both he and Koumas live up to their potential.

And I'll be bold and say Albion have a good enough squad to finish 14th.

[gaijin]

I'll shamelessly do all my 3 teams.... if thats possible becuase i can't be arsed posting different threads.

Uefa cup, north-east glory and seeing the Boro finish in the first half of the table.
Champions league, Capital glory and seeing us win Ligue 1 finally.
Europe, winning the title, seeing Spartak fall flat on their face and Sychev pronounced player of the universe.

What will be your excuse for failure?
Unlucky, injuries, oh and were woz robbed despite playing some terrifc football
Our squad can't handle being the favourites and lose their head.
Moscow railway pull out of sponsorship and we rename into FK Moscow 2

A decent shot at winning every competition we enter, and hopefully actually winning one.

What will be your excuse for failure?

Not enough time to build a team.

Young player to watch?

Arjen Robben.

Most important player?

Frank Lampard.

Player you would most like to get rid of?

Veron is gone, Bogarde's out of contract...........I can't really think of anyone. I haven't seen Tiago play, but that's no reason to chuck him out the door.

Have you got the right manager?

He certainly thinks so.

What advice would you give him?

Forget your English when reading newspapers.

Will he still be there in May 2005?

Yes.

Are you happy with your chairman?

Can't complain about his "financial dedication".

What team do you want to beat most?

Probably Arsenal, although in all honesty its not that intense of a rivalry.

Which opposition player will get the most stick?

Dacourt, if we face Roma in the CL :D Otherwise........maybe Henry? :confused: I can't think of anyone off the top of my head we really hate.

Where will you finish?

First or Second.

[Boro_lad]

What has your team got to look forward to?

Defending our carling cup, Europe and the promise of a great league campaign with our new signings

What will be your excuse for failure?

To many games/not enough time to gel

Stuart Downing

Viduka/Hasselbaink partnership

Already done.

Yes

Dont piss around with the team during a match we are winning.

Most likely

Are you happy with your chairman?

Very. Steve Gibson = living legend

What team do you want to beat most?

Arsenal

Which opposition player will get the most stick?

Shearer

Where will you finish?

Hopefully above newcastle and 4th place, but top 6 realistically

[billyireland]

What has your team got to look forward to?
"Getting our title back".

What will be your excuse for failure?
Diego Forlan; at least he's good for something.

Young player to watch?
C. Ronaldo. Also Chris Eagles

Most important player?
Paul Scholes, then Rio.

Player you would most like to get rid of?
Diego Forlan, if he won't play scapegoat.]

Have you got the right manager?
Yep.

What advice would you give him?
Scholes & Fletcher are not wingers. And relax on the whiskey.

Will he still be there in May 2005?
Should be, if we succeed anyway.

Are you happy with your chairman?
No. He made fun of my toupé. (Hard to answer with a PLC)

What team do you want to beat most?
Take a wild North London guess.

Which opposition player will get the most stick?
Hard to say... maybe Robben (undeservedly so, it has to be said).

Where will you finish?
Above the teams beneath us.

[billyireland]

Most important player?

Micheal Owen.Do you honestly not think it is Gerrard? I mean, on top of the fact that he has probably contrbuted more in the last 2 years than Owen, there is less cover for him whereas if Owen gets injured/benched you have Cisse, Baros & Sinama-Pognolle (sp?).

[michaec]

What has your team got to look forward to?
Fighting it out for the title again and a better tilt at the Champions League

What will be your excuse for failure?
None. Even if Vieira goes we should get a decent replacement with the money we get for him. If he doesn't then we have the best central midfielder in the Premiership again. All other positions look solid again and Reyes and Van Persie have been added for a bit more depth up front.

Young player to watch?
Phillipe Senderos. Young centre back whose first season was wrecked by injury, but has looked sharp in pre-season. With Keown gone and no replacement signed he's in with a shout of a good few first team games this season.

Most important player?
Thierry Henry. No explanation needed.

Player you would most like to get rid of?
There are some players that I wouldn't mind if they left such as Cygan, Gilberto and Lehmann, but I would want to see a better replacement signed first. I can't truthfully say there's someone I would kick out the door right now.

Have you got the right manager?
Absolutely.

What advice would you give him?
None.

Will he still be there in May 2005?
Of course. And hopefully for many years after.

Are you happy with your chairman?
He generally keeps his mouth shut which is the best way for a chairman to be. Yes.

What team do you want to beat most?
Man Utd. Fergie winds me right up.

Which opposition player will get the most stick?
Ruud Van Nistelrooy. He's been quick to engender plenty of hatred from Arsenal fans.

Where will you finish?
Champions.
