DISQUS

SamSpur · 1 year ago

haha Robbie Keane would love that result, wouldn't he?

seriously though, bold choice with Spurs there. As much as I want to believe it, just too many changes which will take time to gel, and too much question about the fitness of the back line. Still, Spurs IMO have just as much quality as the top 4, and should be no worse than 5th.

Here's how I see it:

1 Manchester United
2 Chelsea
3 Liverpool
4 Arsenal
5 Tottenham Hotspur
6 Portsmouth
7 Everton
8 Sunderland
9 Aston Villa
10 West Ham United
11 Middlesbrough
12 Wigan Athletic
13 Newcastle United
14 Fulham
15 Blackburn Rovers
16 Manchester City
17 West Bromwich Albion
18 Hull City
19 Bolton Wanderers
20 Stoke City

Man City are in DEEP trouble from what I hear, I see a lot of the club bailing, including Hughes.

liverbird · 1 year ago

i agree with most...but top 5.

1 chelsea
2 liverpool
3 manchester united
4 tottenham
5 arsenal

liverbird · 1 year ago

spurs has quality but not the experience in key positions. their defense is still one of the worst. i would still give them a couple of years until they start to really attack the top four...if they keep the talent and coaches which they have brought in.

Arsenal lost Hleb and Flamini and their best replacement was Nasri. I think their season is contingent on the Young Guns emerging (Walcott, Bendtner, and Ramsey).

Tottenham look great on paper, I still think their defense is a little suspect though. I think they finish 5th but in a year the top 4 will be broken.

Is this a repost from last year?

Ben · 1 year ago

Newcastle 15th? Are you kidding me?

Stevey · 1 year ago

Villa are the only team that will crack the top 4 this season! We've bought a whole new defence so all those goals we let in last season will be plugged. Doesn't everybody remember that Villa scored the 2nd most amount of goals in EPL last season behind Man Utd?

If Tottenham manage to gel and crack the top four, here's hoping it's those decrepit old fogies at Chelsea that find themsleves staring up at their bums from the fifth spot.

The_Arse · 1 year ago

Tottenham will be better, but to go from 11th to 4th
is much too steep of a climb. With Berbatov on the verge of a move to Man U, who will score the goals?
The top 4 will be a repeat from last season. Who cares where everyone else finishes?

tampasoccer · 1 year ago

Wow. Everyone predicting Chelsea to win it. Me too, actually. Spurs, as someone already pointed out, still have a bad defense. Will finish 5th-7th. I can see L'pool edgeing Arsenal for third, and Villa is probably the only team that can challenge the big four at the moment.
West Brom will stay up, Blackburn will have a difficult year, Man City are in peril due to recent developments with their scumbag of an owner. It's easy to say that both Hull and Stoke are going down.
Should be another fantastic season, a lot to look forward to. I would have loved to see how 2/3 of the top Russian players fare in the Premier League, but nothing so far.

Desmond - Prooxie.com · 1 year ago

Somehow, i think Fulham will move a bit up with AJ in their squad. I also think Stoke will avoid relegation and the top 4 will remain with Arsenal beating Spurs just a few points away.

Newcastle might not be so low, maybe in the mid-table.

The top 4 challenger will be Portsmouth, SPurs and Villa.

And for sure, Blackburn might be in the relegation zone. West Brom's loss for Kevin Phillips is too big. Hull is even worse

United return the same squad that doubled last year - and look likely to cover their only real weakness with another big-name striker. Those of you who predict a 3rd place finish are insane - this United team is the most talented and deepest in the league. Chelsea is the only team in the league that can even come close.

Chelsea had a run of very harsh injuries last year - and could challenge again this year if they stay healthy. But they won't - there is a reason for all of the injuries. Most of their key players are over 30, and Lamps / Drogba don't seem to have the same fire as they did 2-3 seasons ago. I think injuries to Drogba, Terry, Lampard and/or Deco will take the wind out of their sails this year as well.

Keane (and possibly Barry) make Liverpool a much scarier side. If Benitez is smart enough to keep his best 11 on the pitch this year, they very well may pip Chelsea for the #2 spot. Babel comes into his own this year, giving the scousers three legit scoring threats. They will, however, miss Crouch's timely, awkward goals in the last 20 minutes of two or three games.

Tottenham have an amazing array of attacking talent at their disposal - but the loss of Keane and possibly Berba will truly hurt them. Horrible defensive side, but they can light just about anybody up for 4 goals on any given night. I'm giving them the edge over Arsenal on the assumption that they won't sell Berba without a "like for like" replacement waiting in the wings.

I think that you'll see Arsenal off to a fast start again this year, as they have a fairly easy schedule over the first two months - again, it will evaporate quickly. This side don't lack experience in my mind, they lack toughness. As much as I love to watch them attack, the incessant whining, diving and crying turn my stomach. Fabregas and Nasri will be formidable, and Van Persie can be a stud if he can stay healthy. I don't see Adebayor coming anywhere near his total from last year though.

The JLay has spoken, so it shall be...

Jeff · 1 year ago

Just can't see Tottenham make that much of a run espeically if their other top strike goes off to Man U as speculated. Expect Villa to be the main team fighting into the Top4, replacing either Liverpool or Arsenal who both have failed to improve their teams all that much.

Jaylad · 1 year ago

lmao, why does everyone think blackburn will not do very well?

ok i undertsnad maybe not top 7/8 but definately still in the top 10!

get a grip tottenham will never break into top 4 and neither will villa or portsmouth if anyone does its still everton for me.

JLay · 1 year ago

Jay - speaking for myself, I put them at 11 because I think that the loss of Bentley is really going to hurt Blackburn. I also keep reading rumors about Santa Cruz. I doubt that they'd be dumb enough to offload him, but they'd be ruined if they did...

Everton are another class team on the fringes, but I don't see any improvement over last year's lineup - therefore I can't figure out why they'd move up th list. Arteta and Cahill are a top-caliber midfield duo when they're healthy, but one or the other is usually hurt. They also need a better striker than Yak. That said, they're one of the most technically solid teams in the league, and I loove to watch them play - I just don't think that they are going to improve over last year.

Tottenham and Villa made significant moves to improve their teams, while Arsenal took a big step backwards IMO - but it's all conjecture till they hit the pitch tomorrow...

Jaylad · 1 year ago

3-2 for bburn
