Screw this unbiased stuff, here it goes:

1. Fulham; McBride scores title-clinching goal on last day, rides off into teh sunset to play for the Crew
2. Reading; Convey name EPL POTY
3. Everton; Timmay becomes first 'keeper to record 1k saves in a season
4. West Ham; still want your point deductions now bitches? Spector scores GW on last day to clinch whatever 4th place gets them
5. Blackburn; yeah, yeah Friedel, whatever:rolleyes:
6. Derby; Feilhaber leads them to UEFA Cup which they win the following year
7. Leeds; turns out Eddie Lewis is really Gandolf the White(who knew?) and somehow "poofs" Leeds back into the Prem
8. Nottingham Forest; Ben Olsen returns
9. Birmingham; why not?
10. Sunderland; Keano unretires
11. Newcastle; Michael Owen survives an entire season:eek:
12. Aston Villa; whatever
13. Portsmouth; the Porty-Mouths finish 13th
14.Tottenham; rhymes with lamb
15. 'Pool; somehow beat the drop
16. Manchester City; almost forgot about them, that's what you get for dropping Bease
17. Bolton; who cares?
18. Arsenal; entire team leaves due to having a relegation clause thus causing the North London side to cease to exist
19. Chelsea; dumbasses should've signed Adu
20. ManU; the hell with Tevez, and point deductions, should've been nicer to Freddy when he was on "non-trialing practice". Oh yeah, and don't F--- with Timmay!

And of course Charlton and Watford finish 1+2 in the Colaship, and Sheffield Wednesday beat United in the playoff with the winning goal coming from Simek.

hahahaha,
what the hell is wrong with all of you putting tottens**t ahead of arsenal
are you guys crazy?:confused:

[FlanInTheFace]

tottenham looks pretty good, it wouldnt surprise me if they did finish 4th

[TrueCrew]

I'll give it a shot:

1. Chelsea: 1 healthy Czech, an adjusted Sheva, + Alex and Mallouda = title.
2. Man U: Giggs and Scholes finally out of gas a bit, Tevez, Nani, Anderson all help, but 2nd
3. Liverpool: Torres takes a while to get going.
4. Arsenal: Better than you think, but need more consistent scoring.
5. Tottenham: I'd go higher, but only if King stays fit.
6. Newcastle: Big Sam and forward depth.
7. Everton: The yo-yo ride is over.
8. Aston Villa: O'Neil and Carew have things looking up. Still not much depth.
9. Blackburn: Brad, Nelsen, and an improved strike force could go higher.
10. Portsmouth: bit of a drop after top 9, home form will be good.
11. Man City: Sven in the middle. This project will take time.
12. West Ham: Karma should take them down, but not till next year.
13. Reading: Staying pat with no Sidwell.
14. Middlesbrough: mediocre.
15. Sunderland: Keno keeps them up.
16. Bolton: Little Sam < Big Sam.
17. Fulham: I can't pick the Yanks to go down.
18. Birmingham: Makes Villa fans' just missing out on Europe easier to take.
19. Derby: Not enough goalscoring to stay up.
20. Wigan: It sure was a fun ride while it lasted.

Up from Championship: Charlton, West Brom, Preston NE.

Next Years drop class: Fulham, Bolton, Preston.

Arsenal will be in a race for 5th with Portsmouth this season.

[mschofield]

1. Chelsea
2. ManU
3. Arse
4. Pool
5. Reading (and that's a tidy 1,300 to me:D)
6. Hotspurs
7. Everton

*this is only if there is a God. If there is not, and right and wrong are purely relative, and there is no supreme force that stands against evil and rewards good, West Ham won't be relegated, but Fulham probably will be. The theological implications of this season, therefore, are enormous.

Alrighty folks.. we'll add up the scores next week.. 1 point for every position separating where you picked the team to finish and where they actually finished.. Lowest score wins..
example: If you picked Derby to finish in 18th- that would be 2 points. If you picked Man Utd to finish in 2nd place- that would be 1 point (assuming they are champs)..

Got to give credit to Steve Bruce- most had Wigan to go down, he fixed that team up in a few short months..
