Who's your tip for the top, how do you think your team will fair and who's gonna be relegated!
I'm going for Man U to win the title, they've made a few impressive signings and getting rid of, or are in the process of removing the deadwood, just need fat head to get an injury!
Best I can hope for is a mid table finish, but it would be nice to embarrass some of the 'elite' along the way.
It's gonna be tough at the bottom, again, but the good money has to be on Watford, Bournemouth and Villa?
Will be close fought. Utd and Arsenal will be a lot closer to us although not entirely sure about city. Would love another Champions League but realistically, hard to see who can stop Barcelona these days. Also think our squad isn't equipped to go to the final stages in Europe and win the PL. Another Centre Back and a creative midfielder who can open teams up would help things though. Might get the CB if they pursue Stones.
Be interesting to see what kind of season Liverpool have. And have a feeling Bournemouth will stay up.

Ain't you spent enough trying to build 'Team invincible'
Tbh I can see Bournemouth surprising a few the first half of the season and probably go into free fall after the Christmas period, I mean come on the ain't no push over, they beat the mighty West Brom in the cup last season!
we've sold to buy selling De Bruyne, Mata, etc...to pay for Cesc, Costa, etc.... Cech for Begovic..... we're balancing the books - and we've a bit to spent still what with that Jap tyre sponsorship and the PL money so....
The whole league will hope you go down given you've got that twat McLean playing

The 'Captain Leader Legend' is only after one crown this season
Yeah McLean, a man of 'high principles'.....now that he's made it in football. Had no such principles when happily playing for Northern Ireland (aka 'the occupied 6 counties') growing up next he'll be telling us he became aware of this stuff when he turned 17....

We'll struggle without a couple of centre back's coming in, Williamson needs fucking off for good as he is absolutely shit.

Agree with the Utd being alot closer, not sure about Arsenal, although Cech was a decent signing..
And agree about Bournemouth, think passion and togetherness aswell as having a decent enough squad will see them alright, it'll be tough though, WHU worry me, Bilic could go either way...

Wolves flirting with the play-offs when dropping to mid- table , cannot see Kenny Jacket staying for the season , can see a lower premier league club coming in for him mid season

Schnederlein is a huge loss, there was a reason he wasn't allowed to leave, however the later part of last season IMO he wasn't really at the races and Wanyama was the better player so with Classie in as his replacement, it shouldn't be to bad, we still need to replace Cork though. Clyne's been replaced, by Soares. Forster's a bigger loss in goal if i'm honest. Could do with a central defender or two. Upfront they've bought Juanmi a Spanish U21 striker in who's been scoring pre-season, so who knows i think the Europa will hold them back in the league though...

The Championship could be interesting next season, Wolves, Blues, Villa and maybe us, if we don't start signing some new players, quickly!

Fingers crossed I fucking hate villa
Not half as much as me, I have to live next door to'em!
Chelsea again for the title for me but only just. Think Man Ure will be up there but whether they will have enough to push Chelsea close Im not so sure. City and Arse to make up the top 4 with the Scousers just coming up short.
Agree with Marcus on Bilic, could go either way. Europe ( if it lasts much longer ) could be a nightmare. Can't really judge pre season as we appear to be playing 2 - 3 different squads. Signed some good players thus far but still need another striker and a back up right back imo. Top half is achievable, realistically staying up could be good! That said I think we'll finish mid table.
