We used to do a game ages ago on another thread predicting the PL game by game, similar to Lawro on BBC. 3 points for a correct scoreline and result, 1 point for a correct result. Just something to pass the time. If there's enough interest I'll run the game. If not, no big. For now, predict the final PL order?! 1. Manchester City 2. Chelsea 3. Manchester United 4. Tottenham 5. Liverpool 6. Arsenal 7. Norwich 8. Swansea 9. Newcastle (I'll put down the Kool-Aid now...) 10. Everton 11. Sunderland 12. West Ham 13. West Brom 14. Southampton 15. Fulham 16. Aston Villa 17. Stoke 18. Hull 19. Crystal Palace 20. Cardiff
1. Arsenal- I was wrong about them missing out on the CL last year. Why not? 2. Chelsea 3. Manchester United- Without Rooney, can't see it. He's not just a striker, he's almost Shearer-like in his box-to-box play these days. 4. Manchester City 5. Liverpool 6. Tottenham- cunts. 7. Everton 8. Swansea 9. Soton 10. Norwich 11. WBA 12. Stoke 13. Fulham- ******** Duff still playing. 14. West Ham- cunts. Fat ******** manager. 15. Villa- cunts. 16. Palace 17. Cardiff 18. Hullcats 19. NUFC- We've gotten worse and there's no Wigan/Reading this year. If we don't pull in a haul after the first game, we're toast. 20. smb We'll lose out to Arsenal on ManU in the 3rd or 4th round of the League Cup. We'll one-and-done in the FA Cup losing to a top Championship team. I like how you can pluralize cunts and have it stick. Can't just say ******** though. Thx, Jay!
1. Chelsea (Its the Return of the Special One™. He's like the Highlander: There Can be Only One™) 2. Manchester City (Pellegrini engineers it) 3. Manchester United (Fergie is always right, Moyes makes it work but still needs some time to settle down) 4. Tottenham (Regrettably, they are doing it right) 5. Liverpool ( so close yet....) 6. Arsenal (Arsene refuses to spend, they just make Europe on his eyebrows alone) 7. Swansea (Much like Hull and Reading, and the Toon a few years back...) 8. West Ham (Joe Cole becomes the second coming to the Cockney faithful...) 9. Everton (Martinez does well with a mash up of Moyes' players and his from Wigan) 10.Southampton (surprise of the season...) 11. Norwich (If Houghton had a wee bit more cash they'd be higher) 12. Sunderland (Di Canio's threats about his players mother's safety becomes the ultimate motivation tool,...just) 13. West Brom (meh) 14. Newcastle (Pardew gets sacked, Kinnear takes over until we get a new manager in January, the new manager pulls out of the nose dive sometime in March...) 15. Fulham (Jol gets Bent, New owner's mustache gets in the way...) 16. Aston Villa (Youth and exuberance are always beaten by experience and treachery) 17. Stoke (Hughes changes them into a passing team, proving 200 lb ballerinas can pirouette, a slow, ugly, ungainly pirouette, buts its a pirouette.) 18. Cardiff (no no no cant have 2 Welsh teams in The English Premier League) 19. Crystal Palace (so long and thanks for the fish..) 20.Hull (*shudder....*)
1. Manchester City (Pellegrini works his magic.) 2. Chelsea (Too much attacking talent that can sustain that schedule with depth to spare) 3. Manchester United (RvP can carry a team and he will to third) 4. Tottenham (Too much talent, and a solid team being built, will challenge ManU for 3 all season) 5. Liverpool (have talked to BR when he was at Swansea, he has a good head on his shoulders) 6. Swansea (I think they can do what Newcastle couldn't and sustain even with the pressures of Europe) 7. Arsenal (They will barely make it to Europe, a shell of former Wagner sides) 8. Norwich (CH's side has more talent than people think) 9. Everton (New should have sacked Pardon't and named Martinez when they had the chance.) 10. Southampton (more young talent and flair players and that was before Osvaldo) 11. Newcastle (Could be so much higher with a competent manager and director) 12. Aston Villa (Benteke and co build on survival) 13. West Brom 14. Sunderland (Takes too long to mesh all the new players) 15. Fulham 16. Cardiff (added the type of players QPR should have instead) 17./18. West Ham - Crystal Palace (too close to call but London will lose an EPL club) 19. Stoke 20. Hull
