joey55 Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Man Utd Man City Arsenal Liverpool Chelsea Everton Newcastle Tottenham Sunderland QPR Liverpool top 4? Step away from the alcohol. We finished 9th in Harry's first season and then 4th the next season. Everton finished in the bottom half and then 4th the next season. Liverpool have got plenty of good players.

BOF Posted August 17, 2012 Moderator Share Posted August 17, 2012 The alternative is that AVB; let's face it; probably figures he's losing Modric and he's currently doing what ... sitting there doing nothing? Yeah, either could be the case. Of course he's thinking about it, but whether talks are ongoing or not, and whether deals are in place or not, we don't know. Which is why I gave both options. One being the deal and one only being the player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One being the deal and one only being the player I'm saying there's a third possibility - Modric goes but Spurs get in a subpar replacement at the last minute. Not due to any lack of effort on AVB and Levy's part (that's for sure) but because getting players who are not far off Modric's quality is extremely hard, especially considering that Spurs are not in the CL this season. Spurs could end up selling, and royally **** up at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Papillon Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 Man City or Man Utd will win the league, Chelsea will never win with Di Matteo in charge. Too reliant on Torres whom is a great player but I doubt he will deliver for 38 games. He will score 18-22 goals if on form, but his general play has dropped too much for him to find it back. Liverpool will be steady at around 6th, fighting with Tottenham for the 5th spot. Newcastle will have a much worse season, but are going to fight with Everton for 7th. Then there is a whole bunch of teams like Stoke, Fulham, Sunderland and QPR which will fight with us for the 9th - 17th. A few of the relegation candidates will surprise and join that group, but it is impossible to tell really. As for us, I see a 10th or a 16th just as likely. Our squad is at a bare minimum and looks very thin at the back, both in terms of numbers and ability. We can also go down as a worst outcome, but that would take a shitload of unluck/injuries.

What do you mean by 'general play'? I think as an all-round player he was excellent for most of last season, even though he wasn't scoring and was clearly lacking in confidence. He does seem to have lost some pace, but he's coming into this season on the back of a successful European Championship and knows he's not got Drogba breathing down his neck this season. However, that's not to say that Chelsea won't bring in someone like Cavani, which may unsettle him, or that his confidence won't plummet again due to ongoing criticism and an inability to finish chances early in the season.

CardiffGreens Posted August 17, 2012 Share Posted August 17, 2012 1. Manchester City 2. Manchester Utd 3. Chelsea 4. Arsenal 5. Liverpool Quelle surprise 6. Everton 7. Newcastle 8. Spurs 9. Fulham 10. ? Though let's be honest, 9th to about 16th is usually much of a muchness anyway. FWIW, Wrist Ham, Soton and Stoke* to go down. We'll finish a comfortable 12th. I realised one of the great things about the Olympics rolling on so late (aside from the Olympics themselves) - was that the usual "this is TOTALLY going to be liverpool's/newcastle's/QPR's/Leeds' year" nonsense that we have to put up (mostly through the media, whose seem hell bent on getting my heckles up) has been condensed into 2 manageable days. Thank Christ. *I put Stoke down as I think they're well on their way to becoming the draw masters that we aspired to be last year. Also, notable mention to Swansea - if only because Laudrup wouldn't feel me with any confidence if he started his first press conference with "well, I've never seen them play, but I've heard good things"...

Aston Villa 10.Fulham If I was doing a top 10 it would probably be this tbh. I still think City will win the league and I think Everton are going to have a really good season from start to finish. Tight defensively, Pienaar fits into their style of player and they look like they finally have a consistant goalscorer in Jelavic. Newcastle are still strong, I don't think last year was a fluke but seasons of transitions at Spurs and Liverpool. After the top 8 it's a much of a muchness tbh. We were poor today but string a few wins together and you'll be in the top half, it will be that sort of season I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
