[mighty_tiger_79]

well unfortunately next season will be just a normal run of the mill year, no real surprises look like happening at this stage, so it looks like the Brummy boys will be celebrating winning some trophies next year!

[RoosterMarty]

Lovely stuff mate.

Smallest town to have a team in the top flight and half of it's residents were at Wembley?!

Deep Breath...

Assuming the squads stay the same (which of course they won't), here's my 2 cents worth. Which is probably it's actual value!

Man United
Liverpool
Arsenal
Chelsea
Everton
Man City
Tottenham
Aston Villa
West Ham
Sunderland
Birmingham
Fulham
Burnley
Stoke
Wigan
Bolton
Wolves
Portsmouth
Blackburn
Hull

Of course, once more information is revealed, I reserve the right to have another crack! Particularly the whereabouts of Ronaldo and Tevez for Man U.

Well silly season hasn't even started yet so untill the start of August you dont really have an idea who gonna be in the squad so I'll wait till then.

[Bully]

yeah bit early for predictions but thats what i think at this stage. for sure ronaldo will move on and tevez will go aswell so man united i think might struggle to fill those spots. Also think chelsea will struggle aswell.

I perdict that the Clarets will be playing EPL next season.

YEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS GEt IN

^^ LOL!

I find it amusing that so many people rate Man Citeh. Honestly they are RUBBISH. I watched them probably 5-6 times this year and they are so far off the mark it's not true. Add to that, they'll probably do a Tottenham and change 80% of their squad this summer for equally as inept players for millions of quid and still play like rubbish.

If they finish higher than 9th, I'll be very, very surprised.

[RoosterMarty]

Man City could struggle to sign anyone of note because they missed out on a European place. No chance of cracking the top 4 and I think your prediction is on the money DA.

[JK]

Man City will most likely start-off under a loaded gun right from the get go .. From reports I've read, their owners have decreed a Top 6 finish is mandatory, and whilst I don't think that's an unreasonable expectation for a club looking to put themselves on the map within the space of 3 years, it means the gaffer and playing group will have a bit of pressure on them right off the bat.

Situations like that can have a habit of turning ugly.

Chelsea have the problem that Roman expects to win everything every year and this causes problems as the team doesn't have time to gel and a manager cant make a mistake otherwise they get sacked. It's the same boat as city are now in, the only diffrence is that since Roman has taken over we have won titles and with Chelsea being in the Champions League it makes it easier to attrack the big name players.


I honestly dont think Arsenal will win everything if they contiune with this youth player only thing and they need to by some good players no matter there age (there best players this season was Archavin who is 27).

If Man utd lose Ronaldo (not gonna belive he is going till I see him at his new club signing with there scarf over his head) they will replace him, probley with Ribery from bayer. Tevez may be a loss but they ahve won plenty of games without him and they will either by him or replace him and I think they will be near the mark agian .

Liverpool may win a cup or two but I dont think they will win the League they always find a way to throw it away or they are always to far behind when they start there charge.

Chelsea probley needs a bit of clear out and some new players and they will be in the running for every title, it will be a question of can they keep there heads which will depend on how many they win (A Champions League would be f..king nice!!!!). thats the top 4 thoughts for the moment.
