Gribz 743 Posted August 15, 2013 Share Posted August 15, 2013 Could be the most open Premier League in many a year. Man City and Chelsea have the strongest squads and Id say 1 of them will win it. But if Tottenham keep Bale then they could be an outside bet. They have signed some quality players. I can see Man Utd been knocked off their perch and fighting to make top 4. They really need a top class centre midfielder or 2. Arsenal still have a poor defence and keeper plus if 1 or 2 of their key players get injured they have no replacements. Good players like Rosicky and Diaby will only give them 5-10 games a season. Ive still put a bet on them at 10/1 to win it just in case they get Suarez and a defender. I like what Swansea have done in the transfer market but the 40 games they have to play in Europa league could take its toll. Liverpool will be slightly better this season and be top 6. But after that its a lucky dip. Id say the 3 that came up will go back down, promoted sides have done well for the last few seasons but these 3 are well short of the rest. Based on current squads before more signings Id go for: Winners: Chelsea Champions League: Man City, Arsenal, Tottenham (If Bale stays, if not Man Utd) Relegated: Cardiff, Hull, Palace. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
calscot 0 Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 Be interesting to see how Man U develop under Moyes; I think a lot of their success was down to a genius of a manager and so despite their spending power, may not be so competitive. Moyes, while looking not too bad as a manager, hasn't actually won much and so it's yet to be seen if he has that winning mentality. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilledbear 16 Posted August 16, 2013 Share Posted August 16, 2013 I have Chelsea to win the League Chelsea to finish higher than Man Utd Everton to finish in the bottom half of the League. So you can guarantee Chelsea will not win the League. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 743 Posted August 18, 2013 Author Share Posted August 18, 2013 Wenger out. Arrogant idiot who hasn't signed or addressed anything. Going by that they wont make top half! Impressive start from Man Utd and of course West Ham! 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whosthedado 1,487 Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Looking forward to see how Chelsea and City do in their respective games this weekend. On paper should be easy wins for both 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zappa 0 Posted August 18, 2013 Share Posted August 18, 2013 Wenger out. Arrogant idiot who hasn't signed or addressed anything. Going by that they wont make top half! He's easily one of my favourite managers. Arsenal have a strict policy of not trying to buy success with overspending, so they generally try to only buy players at the right price who will improve their squad. It's not easy to get any sort of real success working that way, but once the financial fair play rules really kick into full effect, Arsenal will be one of the clubs who are well ahead of the pack. Then again, I fully expect the clubs with a history of trying to buy success to carry on regardless and try to find ways to cheat the system and beat the financial fair play rules. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

54andcounting 0 Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 After watching Man City dominate Newcastle last night I can't see many teams in England get close to them...some will suffer heavy defeats in the coming months. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
54andcounting 0 Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 (edited) Just watched Chelsea beating Villa 2-1...w@nker Provan was summarising and he must have the hots for Paul Lambert. Most of the time he referred to Aston Villa as 'Paul Lamberts side' his love for his fellow tim made his back-up comments a disgrace to the neutral viewer. Glad Chelsea won but they were lucky not to concede a pen in injury time - the ref boobed. Haha Provan. Picture of the week... Nice jumper...WHO ARE YOU?

Ser Barristan Selmy 222 Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Had no issue at all with Provan during this commentary, always found him to be a good co-commentator and he deservedly gets a lot of premiership games now. Good to see Keys and Gray back on televised matches, shame it's on Al Jazeera though.... PS - Mata got hooked an hour into the match. Doesn't look like he has much of a future under jose 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
