I would be ecstatic with a top 10 finish. I think 12th is a good expectation.

I prefer to have huge expectations and then spend the rest of the year weathering them.

My predictions:

1. Manchester City
2. Chelsea
3. Tottenham Hotspur
4. Manchester United
...
5. Arsenal
6. Newcastle
...
7. Liverpool
8. Everton
9. Aston Villa
10. Sunderland
11. Fulham
12. Swansea
13. Queens Park Rangers
14. Stoke City
15. Reading
16. West Ham United
17. Southampton
...
18. Wigan Athletic
19. Norwich City
20. West Bromich Albion

La Liga: Real Madrid
Bundesliga: Borussia Dortmund
Serie A: Juventus
Ligue 1: Paris Saint-Germain

Champions League: Borussia Dortmund
Europa League: Manchester City :p

I don't expect much to change amongst the top I guess.

"Arevalo Rios, flying to London, where it should perform a medical and sign a contract with Palermo"

"The latest bureaucratic problems have been resolved and the agreement has been reached the final. And 'this indiscreet affair Dybala-linked Palermo reported in advance by Mediagol.it. Tomorrow the long-awaited signing of young striker, considered one of the greatest talents of the South American football."

So many people expecting Arsenal to drop out of the top 4 :(

I really think Chelsea and Spurs strengthened themselves to the point where they can both make it in, and as much as I want to, I can't leave the Manchester duo out of the top. I do think the top five are going to be contested through May.

What did Aston Villa do to you?

We did this to them

I really dont blame Newcastle fans for stinging a bit from it :)

Oh and if you ever wondered why Shearer isnt exactly keen on Villa during his punditry skip to 2:40 ish dont think he has forgotten that :)

I definitely agree that Chelsea/Spurs are strengthening to a worrying degree but I'm hoping their new managers hold them back.

Well then he probably hates us for the shit football we played last season. Which is fair.

Yeah I dont have any issues with Newcastle either. I think you guys got more than enough revenge with that 6-0 spanking you gave us :)

I'm doing what I did last year.

Remaining free of United players and seeing how well I can do.

Oh and predictions. Fuck knows. Mine were terrible last season, the only thing I got right was City winning it. Everything else was in the wrong galaxy.

I do think it will be a wide open relegation fight this season as the top six peel away with big spending. Which is worrying for clubs like Villa.

Us playing shit football last season is no reason to hate on us for this season. We got rid of the person who had us playing so dire. Plus, our two friendlies we have played so far have been a complete opposite of that. That would be a silly reason to want us to go down.

fuck the haters, Arsenal will compete for the title this year and collapse in March...but that's still better than the abysmal start we had this season. 2nd or 3rd is definitely within reach. Especially if RVP leaves. Can see Spurs or Chelsea (or Arsenal) missing out on 4th by a point or two, no 20 point drop off from the top 2 this time around.

Manchester United
City
Arsenal
Chelsea
----
Spurs :)lol)
Newcastle

Everton will finish above Liverpool, Liverpool will not challenge for top 4.
Di Matteo (Roman might just quietly let his contract expire), Mancini will both be sacked but AVB and Rodgers will get another year.
RVP will get injured.

PL top scorer: Giroud!!!!
I'm delusional, and proud of it.

CL: Real Madrid
Europa League: City?

Don't hate Aston Villa either, I just try to avoid watching them, if I wanted to look at clowns like Dunne and Collins fool around I would go to the fucking circus, it destroys any hope of beating the big teams (which is the only time they are on here). But like anyone I am only human and am fascinated with Albrightons nose.

By the way, I watched the Philly game. Bloody hell we really did play some brilliant football. Oh and we dominated possession. We couldnt manage that even against Walsall last season.

Excite!

I had no idea we're playing Malaga in a friendly on the 4th of August. In Salerno (Italy) of all places. Interesting. Any Malaga fans here?
