Top 4 will be a hell of a battle. I reckon both Manc teams will make it but I wouldn't want to call anything beyond that

Top 4 would be hard to call this season. I agree with you Silas that both Manc teams would make it. Apart from that, god only knows after last season.

 

 

The two Manchester teams and Arsenal will very likely be in the top 4. Then most likely it will be one of Chelsea/Liverpool/Tottenham to join them although another underdog team would be very much welcome.

This could be Arsene Wenger's last season with Arsenal his contract runs out, which might give them a league win. I'm hoping Arsenal will go for it.

To be honest it will be really exciting, but I don't think there are any guarantees. Man Utd/Man City have the strongest teams on paper, but that doesn't always work out. Arsenal have strengthened in the right area, but I still think they need a more consistent striker. Liverpool/Chelsea don't have any European football. And Spurs could easily keep up the same run they had last season.

 

I can see it being really close again near the top (e.g. from 2nd to 5th!)

Don't forget the likes of Leicester, Southampton, West Ham and Everyone from European contention!

Will be interesting, but my personal opinions so far - Leicester will struggle (especially if Mahrez goes), Southampton will struggle and I think it may take West Ham a few months to get used to their new stadium. Just my opinion of course, but West Ham aside I can't see any of them putting up realistic fight for Top 4.

Who do you guys think will be the first manager to be sacked? I can see it being the Swansea manager Francesco Guidolin somehow although that wont necessarily mean that Swansea will get relegated at the end of the season.

The first manager is go is Allardyce.

 

If you swear at the ref, you will be send off this season following new ways to deal with intolerable behaviour. That could be interesting at some fierce rival games this season and with Diego Costa.

 

 

Watch Sunderland drop to odds on fav to finish bottom now :(

Sunderland will probably find a way to survive again although relegation is LONG overdue for them. They are the Wigan of Premier League football now.

Watch Sunderland drop to odds on fav to finish bottom now :(

 

They'd have a hard time finishing below Hull atm, we've only got 13 fit players. :lol:

And Steve Bruce has gone!

 

Already put a bet on us finishing bottom of the league as now our owners apparently told Bruce he could only sign free transfers as they didn't want any money changing hands whilst the club was going to be sold. :drama:

 

Honestly the two of them needs to pack up and f*** off before the run us into the Conference.

Yeah now Steve Bruce has gone I'm not so keen on Hull staying up now...

 

Thinking them, Sunderland & Burnley for the drop at present.

I'm thinking Swansea, Hull & Burnley.

No way will Swansea go down I'd put BIG money on it not happening ;)

 

Could see Palace feasibly dragged down there at some point too, they were one of the teams in the worst form at the back end of last season.

David Moyes Sunderland manager.

And now I think they'll be fine this year!

The man couldn't manage to boil a kettle.

David Moyes the manager of Sunderland LOL! I guess we can expect to see Sunderland get dicked almost every week.
