United were awesome. Matic and Pogba looked like they had played together for years and they can only get better.
United to win the league for me this year, narrowly pipping the Clarets to the post in a last gasp heartbreaking season finale.
Chelsea will brush themselves down pretty quickly to finish 3rd and Everton to make the CL spot.
Big losers this year will be Spurs imo. They didn't have any depth which cost them last year and the year before and they've done nothing yet to strengthen the side. Plenty of rumblings about pay too. Spurs earn £205m a year and spend 48% on players wages, the lowest of the big 5 (excluding Glenelg), whereas United earn £530m a season and spend 60% on players wages. Liverpool spend 69% of their £310m annual income so spending big doesn't necessarily bring success.
At the bottom, Toons haven't done anything either and will go down because of that, along with Brighton and maybe Palace.

Not really. I think it pretty much supports what I'm saying other than some of the percentages. My figures are from the BBC on Sunday night. What it confirms is that of the big 5 Spurs earn the least but also pay the least.

Sigurdsson is a great pick up by Everton and just reinforces my top 4 spot for them. We looked at him but couldn't afford his wages let alone his transfer fee.

That was always going to happen until we are settled into our new stadium, then we might rise up the table as far as the payments in the big 5 go in that retrospect and improve even more despite having won more games in the EPL in the last two years than any other team. Exciting times for Spurs fans except for the short term pain we will probably suffer playing out of Wembley, results may go backwards but itll be great for marketing getting more to games though.
