I'm just disappointed in you, Bedders.

I expect better than you to post a short sharp exclamation with no reasoned argument.

You've set your standards. Now don't make me yell at you again

I just couldn't be arsed JC, I am rather surprised at the barcodes pimping that's going on though. I mean, I don't see where they've actuially improved enough to justify it. I mean now Bramble's gone, whoever he was keeping out of the team will have to play and how shit must he be?

I just think their problems are not so much to do with personnel. All they need is someone with some balls to come in and get rid of all those bad habits.
Roeder was never the man to do this.

Someone of Allardyce's quality (attracts players, gets the best out of players, very modern way of going about things) needs to be at a bigger club than Bolton. He'd taken them as far as he could, but Newcastle - amidst all their hysteria - are undoubtedly a sleeping giant.
He'll be backed financially and I expect them to start slowly but pick up late on.
There's work to do, especially at the back, but there's also a lot in place there:
Martins, Owen, Dyer, Milner, Taylor, Geremi, Barton, Deco? ( ) to name but a few. All players who have the potential to very well, they just need the guidance and 'Big Sam' has certainly shown he can get the best out of underachievers and misfits at Bolton: Davies, Anelka...

I'm not saying it's nailed on - it's a prediction. But I think he'll be pushing them towards the top 8 and, as previously explained, I think a fair few clubs have the potential to do that.

Ofcourse, I'll be wrong because it always suprises you!

Someone you never expect to do well takes the Premiership by storm

1. Manchester United
2. Chelsea
3. Liverpool
4. Arsenal
5. Spurs
6. Everton
7. Newcastle

13. Bolton
14. Man City
15. Sunderland
16. Middlesbrough
17. Fulham
18. Wigan
19. Birmingham
20. Derby

I have just a bet with a mate that Everton will finish higher than City. Easy money.

You should have also put money on Fulham finishing both 15th and 17th. I reckon you could have got some great odds on that.

Tottenham will finish 3rd!!!

something like that.

I think Wigan have bought pretty well, enough to survive.
Reading will struggle big time like Wigan last year (who have learned from there mistakes it appears).

Southgates taking Boro down. Theyre in dissaray.

Spurs will edge out Arsenal like they should have 2 seasons ago.

I agree with your top 6, but I think you are being way too generous to citeh and blackburn, I think your bottom three are right too but not in that order, boro bottm but that is just wishful thinking on my part.

With a bit of a distance between Arsenal and Spurs. Arse are just stagnating and will probably spend this season 'building for the future' again, Spurs have all the ambition in north London at the moment. And I know they're here for our amusement, but I'm genuinely worried that city are going to do well this season. Notlob will be nothing without Allardyce, even with their continuing policy of signing random foreigners with a 'z' in their name. Everton have Phil Jagielka, so a guaranteed European place. Second season syndrome for Reading, especially with Sidwell gone. Fulham, just can't see them doing owt without Coleman.

I think we will win the league again (just). Both ourselves and Chelsea will be a good 10+ points clear of the dippers in 3rd. Spurs may just edge out Arsenal. All the promoted teams will struggle IMO. Are we all just biased towards Keano, or do we actually think Sunderland will fare better than their last journey into the Premier League?

Who did we sign last season compared to Chelsea? And who won the title?

My turn to roll my eyes now.

If you think we're dead certs to win it then you're extremely biased. It will be close again. If we don't win it, I think it will be down to too much rotation.

Yes and I made a sarcastic comment, get over it.

From what I've seen, Malouda is average at best. I personally don't see Chelsea being loads better than last season in terms of ability, an injury to Drogba and it could be grim, but Shevchenko might hit form

I don't think we're "dead certs" to win the title. However i believe with the additions so far, we will be hard to stop.

Besides, a United fan being biased? I must be the first

Well, we're ten games in so let's have a little look. Is everyone on course?

I'd just like to say that I predicted Chelsea for the title by a tiny amount BEFORE Jose was sacked/quit.

Other than Spurs being fifth everyone else is pretty much on course
