Just over a week away, and I pity the Stoke commentator next season, most of the new players seem to have names that are unpronounceable. I predict Chelsea to be champions, they have bought Asmir Begovic from Stoke, a proven goalscorer. In second place I'll have Arsenal and 3rd Manchester City. For relegation 18th. Swansea 19th. Sunderland 20th. Bournemouth
I'm a Liverpool Fan but I feel Arsenal have a big chance of winning the league this year, especially after beating Chelsea in the community shield. I don't think Bournemouth will get relegated! They were very good in the championship and have signed a few good players. Swansea will definitely not be relegated. 1st. Arsenal 2nd. Chelsea 3rd. Man United 4th. Man City 5th. Liverpool (Very optimistic) 6th .Southampton
I'm a Wolves fan so the Premier League doesn't affect me,here's my prediction nonetheless. Top.. Chelsea Man Utd Arsenal Man City Bottom.. Sunderland Leicester Watford
Like you Squirrelmonkey I am a Liverpool fan and I agree with your top 5 placing being optimistic too!, but would put Spurs, Stoke or Palace in sixth this season. Top Three (head) 1. Arsenal 2. Chelsea 3. Man City Top Three (heart) 1. Liverpool 2. Don't care 3. Doesn't matter Bottom Three (head) 18. Newcastle 19. Bournemouth 20. Leicester Bottom Three (heart) 18. Chelsea 19. Everton 20. Man Utd
Got to agree. In fact I'd wager you (or anyone who cares!) 'A Chester Zoo burger' that Swansea finish top half...?
1. Chelsea 2. Arsenal 3. Man Utd 4. Man City 5. Liverpool 6. Tottenham 7. Stoke 8. Southampton 9. Crystal Palace 10. Swansea 11. Everton 12. WBA 13. West Ham 14. Aston Villa 15. Newcastle 16. Bournemouth 17. Norwich 18. Watford 19. Leicester 20. Sunderland
Not updating this thread with your thoughts of the weekend games Bongorob? (sorry could not resist!) I good result for West Ham today
haha....just glad we won, don't care if it was a tight 1-0. Looking forward to next week now and seeing the Stadium expansion first hand.
Liverpool off to a nice start in the new season ! Just hope my local club fares the same this year (after a horror last season)...
I'm glad Taun enjoyed the game. It was at the ground where Mr Gerrard made his last ever Premier League appearance. I'm sure Steven Gerrard won't forget it. It's the third year in a row that Stoke has lost the first fixture by one goal to nil. Mark Hughes always starts off slowly. Still, at least we are highher than Arsenal.
Well it is only half time and i'm thoroughly annoyed once again with the referee. I'm not going to say anything, the Football Assiciation will only punish me.
I didn't notice it when watching the game live, but after seeing it again it is a bit strange. Maybe he placed a bet On the other hand did anyone see Mourinho's interview after the liverpool game. I don't think he wanted to comment. Someone's close to getting sacked!
I love commentators. When Watford came to Stoke they hit the bar , then hit the bar again when the rebound came to one of their forwards. The commentator siad "Watford could be two-nil up. " Obviously a new rule is in effect whereby the team who scores keep going until they score again.
benosaurus, pootle, Jackwow and Chatt Wolf's prediction of Leicester finishing either 19th or 20th seem to have been a bit off. JAMIE VARDY FOR TOP GOAL SCORER!!!!!
