EPL Predicitons

I'm surprised no one started this yet as the season is only two days away.

1)Liverpool
2)Chelsea
3)Arsenal
4)Man U
5)West Ham
6)Tottenham
18)Middlesbrough
19)Watford
20)Sheffield United

Fulham= 16th
We've made improvements yes, but so has everyone else. Teams like Charlton and Portsmouth have made similar amount if not more improvements. In the EPL you must bring in new players just to maintain your stature in the league. We've lost Steed and perhaps John. I also believe that many are taking the exodus of Goma far to lightly.
Our central defense is far to week for this league and it will show again. Much of the scoring will be dependent on the midfield. Iceman and McBride are good forwards both of whom I never want to leave, but they are not prolific scorers.
I predict a slow start to the season. At some point Coleman will be gone, and this team which has showed us time and time again that it can be brilliant will pull off some late magic to avoid the drop. It may be gloomy but I think its realistic the back line far to weak for a top 10. Hopefully I'm wrong, hopefully I'm under estimating this team.

 

EPL Predictions

Here are my picks:

Premiership Predictions:
1. Chelsea
2. Liverpool
3. Manchester United
4. Arsenal
5. Tottenham
6. Everton
7. West Ham
8. Blackburn
9. Fulham
10.Bolton
11.Charlton
12.Newcastle
13.Manchester City
14.Middlesbrough
15.Portsmouth
16.Aston Villa
17.Reading
18.Wigan
19.Sheffield United
20.Watford

Carling Cup - Chelsea

FA Cup – Chelsea

Champions League – Chelsea

A ninth place finish might be a bit too optimistic, but I think it is possible. I am not so convinced outside the top six there are many great teams. It will be very intereresting to see where teams 7-20 end up. It is a crap shoot and a lot of teams are very average and I think Fulham has a shot if things fall the right way to finish ninth.

On the other hand, it could go bad and we could be 17th or so. Whatever, we will NOT go down this season!!

Wow looks like the majority are far more positive then me. Hope you guys are correct!

Carling Cup- Aston Villa

Full of surprises. Can't wait to revisist in January for a look back on everyone's picks to see how they have managed.

More prognostocations:
- If Man-who? ends up 5th or lower, Fergie is on the hotseat.
- If Chelsea does not make Champions League finals, Jose moves on.
- If Fulham,........nah, let's stay positive. COYW!!!

 

1. Chelsea
2. Aresnal
3. Liverpool
4. Manchester United
5. Tottenham
6. West Ham
7. Newcastle
8. Blackburn
9. Aston Villa
10. Bolton

12. Portsmouth
13. Man City
14. Fulham
15. Charlton
16. Reading
17. Middlesbrough
18. Wigan
19. Watford
20. Sheffield United

 

I'm afraid I don't know enough about some of the other EPL teams to make a good prediction but I think the top 5 will be:

1. Liverpool
2. Chelsea
3. Manchester United
4. Arsenal
5. Tottenham

I see Fulham somewhere between 9 and 12.

 

I notice a number of people have selected Liverpool ahead of Chelsea. Is this based only on the Community Shield or what makes those who chose Liverpool believe they will dethrone Chelsea?

 

Well, I didn't go too good last year with predictions (http://www.fulhamusa.com/index.php?name=PNphpBB2&file=viewtopic&t=628), but I'll have a go:

1. Arsenal
2. Chelsea
3. Liverpool
4. Man. Utd.
5. Spurs
6. Blackburn
7. West Ham
8. Newcastle
9. Bolton
10. Fulham
11. Everton
12. Charlton
13. Portsmouth
14. A. Villa
15. Reading
16. Boro
17. Man. City
18. Watford
19. Wigan
20. Shef. Utd.

 

I also believe that Liverpool will top Chelsea this season. I think they play well as a team and have the pure passion to beat the EVIL BLUES. Admittedly, my hatred for Chelsea forms my opinion here, but Liverpool seems to be the club in the best shape to make a run against Chel-suck. Also, if somehow Arsenal could pull things together and outpace Chelsea I would be VERY happy.

Fulham will win 4 away matches this year and finish 10th.

 

For what its worth:

Premiership Predictions:
1. Chelsea
2. Manchester United
3. Liverpool
4. Arsenal
5. Tottenham
6. Bolton
7. Aston Villa
8. Newcastle
9. West Ham
10. Blackburn
11. Everton
12. Portsmouth
13. Manchester City
14. Fulham
15. Charlton
16. Wigan
17. Middlesbrough
18. Reading
19. Sheffield United
20. Watford

Carling Cup - Aston Villa

FA Cup – Liverpool

Champions League – Real Madrid

 

I dont understand it... how are so many predicting Reading to go down {not only here, I mean}?

Do you all REALLY think their season was a fluke?

 

Oh, puhl...leeze! i'm so tired of reading that. That is ALL in the head... somehow I dont think Coppell will let that factor in. Sure when they play Chelsea, Liverpoo and Arse, but will/should work the opposite like against ManU
