BBC Sports 'Expert' Phil McNulty
Reckons we'll finish 3rd next season with the Vermin and Chelsea finishing above us (in that order)...

The Times have gone for Liverpool too this season. We live in an ABU nation. Nothing new there. |

The Guardian has Liverpool winning it this year as well
I just don't get it. They missed out last year by 4 points despite winning 6 points off us (and that won't happen again) and have since lost two or three of their best players and don't seem to be splashing the cash on new ones. Even the dipper in work (yeah I know ) thinks they will be scrapping it out with Arsenal & City for 3rd or 4th. |

I remember the year after we won the Treble, the Guardian predicted that Chelsea would win the 99/00 League Title... Fergie has made a point of referring to that example over the years when he is contending that journalists know £#%&! all. |

My gut feeling is Chelsea will win it.
To be honest I think it's a weak league this year. You could argue United, Liverpool and Arsenal are weaker this year. There is also so much dross at the bottom you could easily make a case for about 8 teams getting relegated. I can see it being a season where not too many points are dropped against teams outside the top and Chelsea are master of grinding out victories. I can see it being a pretty average season all round. |

I don't agree with this "they got X amount of points off us and X amount of points off Chelsea last season and they won't do it this season", they may not, but I don't think it works like that, they may beat the shit teams they drew against. I think they will finish 3rd at best because they're not good enough, last season was their biggest chance in years and they blew it. They only have Torres up front and not much decent cover for him, they have lost Alonso, Mascherano wants out, Aquilani is injured and will have to settle when he is fit and doesn't have a great injury record.
Chelsea will be strong but if United stay injury free in midfield I think we will win it. I think we need to sign a midfielder but it doesn't look like we will and if we don't win it the midfield will be our downfall. I reckon a few of the youngsters will really make a big impression this season though, Gibson has been very impressive pre-season and I think he may earn his spot in the team in a lot of games. I think where Rooney is played is vital to. He has to play central, he will be immense if he is played central all the time. |

us and chelsea will there at the death
scouse might be, a fit torres all year and he could bridge a gap for them with an exceptional individual season arsenal and city will have some good performances, beat some decent teams but not string a challenge together and will duke it out with the villa and spurs for 4th |
