Final Table?

Pretty much an impossible task, but here goes

1- Man United
2- Chelsea
3- Liverpool
4- Arsenal
5- Tottenham
6- Blackburn
7- Newcastle
8- Portsmouth
9- Everton
10- Man City
11- West Ham
12- Aston Villa
13- Fulham
14- Reading
15- Bolton
16- Sunderland
17- Middlesbrough
18- Wigan
19- Birmingham
20- Derby

 

It was fun checking these through out the season last. I don't remember one person being close. Here goes:

1- Manchester United -- I'm predicting it will be between them and Liverpool, with Man. U's deep pockets winning out.
2- Liverpool -- Getting rid of Bellamy was a no brainer. They should be stronger for it.
3- Chelsea -- The drama has to be wearing everyone out.
4- Newcastle -- Here comes Big Sam, here comes Joey Barton (if he can stay out of jail), and they have all the pieces to make a run at Champions League.
5- Arsenal -- Always have their doubters, but don't doubt this: Top 5 again.
6- Portsmouth -- They are not a bad squad, but are they a good enough squad to improve on last season?
7- Aston Villa -- O'Neill isn't considered a legend in the green side of Glasgow and doesn't have songs written about him for no reason.
8- Tottenham -- They remind of lots of teams in lots of sports which have the talent, but for whatever reason can't make the jump.
9- Fulham -- Sanchez's attitude and willingness to put everyone on notice isn't as big a gamble when you have his confidence, and his history of success.
10- Everton -- Because Fulham should always be at least one spot above the plastic toffees.
11- Blackburn -- What HatterDon said, "Mark Hughes does a great job with little money or fan support", but with a prediction of less of a great job this season.
12- Reading -- Manager of the Season last. Has a knack for putting the peices of the puzzle together rather quickly. Still, too much pressure to repeat last season's form.
13- West Ham -- The bad-boys club of Premiership right the ship, somewhat.
14- Bolton -- Good-bye Big Sam, good-bye Europe, good-bye top ten.
15- Middlesbrough -- Southgate pulled it together at end of last season. Does he have what it takes to keep them together and winning this season?
16- Man City -- The Baby Blues, with all the turnover, could be singin' the blues.
17- Sunderland -- Keane's got the fire, but did he have enough money to spend in the off-season is the question.
18- Wigan -- Clock has struck midnight. Time for them to turn into a pumpkin.
19- Birmingham -- I like Bruce, but who have they gotten to improve the side in the off-season?
20- Derby County -- When MLS players with questionable abilities start turning down your offers before the season even starts, major problems. Lucky to do better than Watford last season.

2)manu
3)scousers
4)arsenal - true they got rid of henry, but last time i checked van persie still played for them and wenger was still the coach.
5)tottenham - still wont make the champions league cut. not shedding tears over that.
6)everton
7)pompey
8)blackburn - blah.

1. Liverpool - surprise champions thanks to lots of depth
2. Chelsea - win Champions League finally

16. Reading - no Sidwell, and no new faces = might get relegated
17. Wigan - owner Whelan will will survival one more time
18. Birmingham - just not enough talent
19. Sunderland - not enough talent and big media doesn't chill out with Keano

You heard it here first...

 

1- Chelsea
2- Man United
3- Liverpool

6- Newcastle
7- Tottenham
8- Everton
9- Blackburn
10- Fulham

12- Portsmouth
13- Man City
14- Reading
15- Middlesbrough

6) Everton
7) Pompey
8 Newcastle
9) Blackburn

13) Reading
14) Fulham- It could go either way for us this year but I'm counting on the strikers to get hot and carry us through, Kamara needs to be a sucess. The backline is guarnateed to struggle but I believe the midfield will be strong particularly if Dempsey, Cook, and Davis come up big along with the return of the one and only Jimmy Bullard.
15) Sunderland
16) Bolton
17) Boro
18 Birmingham

NO PRIZE JUST THE JOY OF KNOWING YOUR GOT THE MOST POINTS.

Man United
CSKA London
Liverpool
Arsenal
Spurs
Newcastle
Everton
Pompey
Blackburn
Aston Villa
Man City
Boro
West Ham
Bolton
Fulham

:?

 

Any More takers for the "I Told you so" Final Table Competition all entries must be submitted by Midnight August 10th.

Okay I'll give it a stab. Bet you anything I get the lowest score!

1. Manchester United
2. Liverpool
3. Chelsea
4. Tottenham
5. Arsenal
6. Everton
7. Portsmouth
8. Bolton

13. Aston Villa
14. Fulham
15. West Ham
16. Birmingham
17. Middlesbrough
18. Sunderland
19. Wigan
20. Derby

 

this may be cheap but because the tevez saga was settled and west ham found "not" guilty, they probably wont be deducted points. so i want to change my table a wee bit. and then it'll be "i told you so" official.

so yeah, i'm putting west ham 15th and wigan 19th. the table will look like this:

1)cska london
2)manu
3)scousers
4)gooners
5)spurs

13)fulham
14)reading
15)west spam
16)sunderland
17)boro
18)birmingham
