Won’t give much

LFC and City to be the only ones in the mix to win the title

The new bloke at Palace will be the first to go manager wise

Most goals - Mane
Assists- Sterling

First ref? all of them. Every single game every week, every day. That’s how bad they are

Looks like quite a few of the fans in here agree.

If we finished 3rd with no defence last year I can't see how you can see us finishing below that this year.

Also, did you see the way we manhandled United at Old Trafford at the end of last year? It was men against boys.

nah. i have no idea

ok

top four are chelsea / Liverpool / city/ mancutd.  Injuries will decide.  City wont be as good as they should be.

then theres the league of europe mediocrity:
leicester, spuds , arse,  evertons
and villa will climb into that if their signings gel

Leeds will be the same wildcards. Improvements in the squad will be cancelled out by other teams wariness and countertactics.

Wolves will revert to the mean and be solid mid table
West Ham will revert to the mean  and be low mid table . Their big signings will be crap  but their underradar buys come good.

Brentford will do a better than predicted, Palace will recover from a slow start, Burnley and Hove City will be unremarkable.


Relegated:

Watford
Newcastle will run out of luck
Southampton are selling up


Top scorer will be aubyemang by default. Other teams will score more goals but theyll be sharing them across front 3s & Kane wont play enough games.
Top assists -  assists are bullshit
young players - Elliot and Guehi 


First manager sacked will be someone surprising, for unfootbally reasons. #Metoo or bungs or something

Amazing the laziness of our media pundits and predictors.   Completely oblivious to any context other then what transfer business has been done ultimately deciding their predictions.   Many of them have us just making 4th place and think Chelsea and Man City will walk it.   

We’ll see them wiping the smile off their faces come Christmas when they begin to realise “errr, this is starting to look like the same team that finished on 99 points little more than a year ago”. 

We have the best manager, goalkeeper, the best defence, the best forward line and in my opinion the best midfield (certainly for our style of football) in the premier league.   We may not have the best squad depth but If we don’t have the injury horror show of last year, we should be favourites, even above city.
