In fact, let's actually do this. Prediction time:
Pelligrini will have the most significant positive impact on the team. They'll play some sexy football and challenge throughout the season.
Mourinho will finish more than 10 points behind the eventual winners.
Moyes will have a season of frustration and grumbling from certain sections of supporters. United will finish 3rd. They'll lose some of their winning mentality.

And all he's left us with is a squad thats just won the league at a canter.
United will be fine.
Edit: Having sad that, we still need to add a good midfielder to our squad.
Well I like Mourinho and I have no idea who Pellegrini is, but if City win it instead then I'll still have a party.
Agree with this, City are best placed to win the next title.
I think a lot of teams will be looking to strengthen the CM, I'm not surprised City have acted quickly. If you can dominate midfield you can win any match, Fernandinho/Toure is a strong pairing and has no real weaknesses. Sandro/Dembele is a similar sort of duo but the other top 5 sides have some big holes in the middle. Players like Ramsey, Mikel and Cleverley can't measure up to that sort of power, I expect a bidding war for Fellaini.
Consider the amount of times you went behind this season along with the turmoil of your competitors.
Moyes vs. Mourinho vs. Pellegrini vs. Wenger.
One looks very out of place.
It's Moyes
Well I like Mourinho and I have no idea who Pellegrini is, but if City win it instead then I'll still have a party.
Mourinho's likeable when he's out of the country and being a cunt in Spain, because then we can laugh without really caring too much.
When he's in your league though he's an utter cock.

I'm ok with this.
My flight is at the same time of the match vs Ecuador tonight :/, I will miss all the action but not the celebrations, come on mis guerreros por la victoria.
Moyes places a lot of importance on having a good midfield and a defence that doesn't leak soft goals. Or at least he tries to.
I think we'll be more defensively solid next season.
Let the Porto fire sale begin!
I'd like to agree with this post, but United won the league last season and their midfield is fucking barmy.
I think technical ability is more important than power, to be honest. Arsenal's midfield lacks power but it's still very effective at running games. If they added Fellaini to it I think it'd be superb.
Imagine Fellaini, Wilshere, and Cazorla.
Newcastle will finish 5th again and will then finish 16th the following season again. It will be an endless cycle.

They won't sell many more players. Fernando could be on his way out and that should be it.

2-0 down 70 minutes into a match.
Will Moye's United come back? That's the big question.
Last season was the exception to the rule. Carrick had an amazing season, and RVP/De Gea did the business at either end. The same midfield won't make it next season, everybody and his dog knows that.
In the first few months of last season Everton, Spurs, Liverpool, even Norwich weed all over United's midfield. Only once De Gea and the back 4 woke up did they start to look convincing.
The answer is probably yes.
Our players won't automatically fall to pieces now SAF is gone. There are too many leaders on the pitch to accept defeat.

1. Arsenal

I think Southampton will end up about 5 points above Stoke, who will end up 1 point above Sunderland.

After selling James and Moutinho, they don't need more money.
Give us Ilori.

The thing that makes me so excited about the special ones return is dat home record. The bloke went 9 years at 4 different clubs without losing a home game in the league. Its such an incredible achievement and if we can recapture something like that it will make going to home games less stressful.

We´ll give you Bojinov instead. He´s an expert at putting the ball away from the goal, you could turn him into an excellent defender.

I don't think any of them are good enough this year.
According to my predictions, Cardiff City.

I wouldn't expect the parties involved to admit to negotiations over Fellaini. We now have one story saying you're interested and anothr saying you're not.
The stuff about Rooney and Jovetic should be more concerning to Arsenal fans.
Damn, lucky basterd. It took me several months. I almost forgot I made an account.
People have been quick to point out this:
Geoff Arsenal has also said that both the Rooney and Fellaini are 100% true.
It's going to be a long summer..
Not really a shocker. Only blocker is Mike Ashley given the amount of money he wants for the player. Otherwise he's offski.
Damn you lucky guys. Wish I signed up so close before a new junior batch was going out into the world.
Have no idea who he is, but Malmö are good at producing talent.

New Wilbury incoming?
Man City fans would say anything to big up their players.
