Never was a villa fan.

Never was a villa fan.

Come on now. Don't dump them in their time of need.

 

[WealstoneRaider]

Rodgers, Sherwood and some bloke called Neill (Norwich apparently) the early favourites to be sacked first according to the BF executive bored (sic) members.

Those plumping for Brenda have obviously paid close attention to the dippers ridiculously tough opening fixtures. Wise sages

Spuds and Everton could've been relegated also you know instead of just Toon

Tipping you'll crack over 100 points here at season's end

 

[WealstoneRaider]

Dreadful tipping by that bloke.

Swansea 5th... If that happens I'll become a goona

 

[go you pups]

Dreadful tipping by that bloke.

Swansea 5th... If that happens I'll become a goona

Palace 7th is more unlikely

I'll tip coming up to deadline whenever it is in early-mid August, need to see more transfer activity.

1 things for sure, I LOL at everyone who has

5. Liverpool
6. Southamton
7. Tottenham

or just

5. Liverpool
6. Tottenham

We always finish ahead of them, except when they choked in 2014 on the back of Suarez's goals, but hey twas back to normal order last year 5 of the last 6 seasons we've finished ahead of them.

I reckon Newcastle will bounce back to be top 10, they always seem to have better even ending years than odd ending years etc 2009 relegated, 2010 promoted, 2011 meh, 2012 EL, 2013 crap, 2014 solid, 2015 nearly relegated.

Southampton pulled off a shock last year by staying up the top after losing a lot of their good players. Don't think they can do that again. What was their form line from like week 10-38? or 15-38?

Ok, looked into it.
Started 8-1-2 then went 10-5-12 after that and from 23-38 they went 4-3-7

They had a great start and held on for dear life after that and struggled to sneak into Europe. With a few more key departures I can see them dropping even lower (don't tell me they have great signings, how'd that work out for Liverpool and Tottenham post Sanchez and Bale? - You need team chemistry, will take a while to get that)

I think Southampton is in the 10-15 range.

I think Leicester has a greater chance of making it to Europe than them.

Good call

Schneiderlin and Alderweireld out hurts them hard, plus the extra Europa League matches could take it out of them like it did to Everton and Newcastle previously, that's if they qualify for the group of course. Don't get why they signed 2 right backs though, they replaced Schneiderlin with Jordy Clasie but Alderweireld has still left a hole to be filled.

Teams like Spurs and Liverpool stay in the top 7 for a reason even with a heavy schedule put ahead of them, they have a history of doing so.

 

[Dirty Bird]

Here's a rough league prediction from me

1. Chelsea
2. Aresnal
3. Manchester City
4. Manchester United
5. Liverpool
6. Tottenham
7. Swansea
8. Stoke
9. West Ham
10. Leicester City
11. Norwich City
12. Southampton
13. Everton
14. Bournemouth
15. West Brom
16. Aston Villa
17. Newcastle
18. Crystal Palace
19. Sunderland
20. Watford

FA Cup: Arsenal
League Cup: Chelsea
Champions League: Arsenal
Europa League: Borussia Dortmund (I don't believe they'll win, I think someone dropped from CL will win, it's just harder to pick which team will be s**t enough to come here, but good enough to win so went Dortmund who I believe will go the furthest of those in this comp prior to the knockout stage)
La Liga: Barcelona (Atletico a tight 2nd)
Serie A: Juventus (please god no, anyone, anyone but them.......Except maybe Inter)
Bundesliga: Bayern Munich (I don't want it, but I cant see anyone chasing them down in Germany atm)
League 1: Lyon (Surely the PSG dominance is about to end)
RPL: CSKA Moscow (about time they won again)
UPL: Dynamo Kiev (Shakhtar is better, but no home ground advantage will cost them again this year)

Promoted from Championship: 1. Middlesbrough, 2. Wolverhampton, 3 (from 6th). Fulham (I want Nottingham Forrest, Ipswich Town and Preston North End to go up though so wouldn't mind being wrong on this one)

 

[100volt1]

My predictions for the new season. I actually don't think LCFC will finish 13th, but i've gotta keep the faith. Arsenal to take out the honours for the Premier League and sew up their first Premier League title in however long it's taken that mob to do so.

Bournemouth, Watford & West Brom all to be relegated, Newcastle to surprise a few given what happened last season and Norwich to be the surprise packet of all newly promoted clubs. Liverpool, tottenham to just miss out on the top four by four points between them.

1. Arsenal
2. Chelsea
3. Manchester United
4. Manchester City
5. Liverpool
6. Tottenham
7. Southampton
8. Swansea
9. Everton
10. Crystal Palace

I wish I had the faith of the people who think we will win the league.

Clearly trolling, aren't their rules against that?

Come on now. Don't dump them in their time of need.

never supported them... Nip/tuck on the other hand was a big fan

I think Southampton is in the 10-15 range.

I think Leicester has a greater chance of making it to Europe than them.

While you continue to throw darts at a board and hope that one of your insightful calls sticks, recall the players who did so well for Southampton at the start of the year: Pelle, Tadic, Long. Then recall who did well at the end of the season: Mane, Elia, Alderweireld.

They were all players brought in following the departure of good players. They have a very solid scouting system in place, and guys like Clasie will perform very well for them.

Europa on the other hand would have been a legitimate reason to mark them down this season, instead of pretending that this is the first off-season they've ever sold players.
