[Swifty]

1. Citeh
2. Chelski
3. Manure
4. The Arse (Just! Yet again)
5. Spuds
6. Victims
7. Toffees
8-17 Take your pick!
18. Cardiff
19. Hull
20. Palace

Job done. Virtual trophy in the cabinet again, and everything is rosy in Wenger's garden for another year.

Palace will do better than you think.
ManU will do worse than you think. Chelsea will win in a canter and if things stay as is Spuds will be top 3 and we will be in the dross. No emotion in that just objective opinion.

Goonertux placed United 3rd and you think they'll do worse than he thinks??

It was a more generic comment - although i do think 3rd is optimistic. What i meant is i think ManU will see the start of a relative downcycle now - i reckon Moyes is going to struggle and if he doesnt get rid of Rooney the place will get cancerous. Plus they are just one RVP injury away from being ordinary.

If (when ) VanJudasCunt gets the injury he is due (and fucking seriously deserves ) I for one will celebrate it like winning a trophy. Usually wouldn't wish serious injury on almost any player (Frenchy Le Barton and Chav Terry being very obvious exceptions! ) but I sincerely hope the judascunt rips his cruciate right off his fucking knee whilst breaking both his ankles.

1.Chavs The Jose factor.Best manager in the prem.A team of winners and Rooney
2.Man Utd. Even if this is not a vintage Utd team they have been there and done it season in season out.
3.City have spent £100m but no Cavani or Falcao.Good enough squad to finish top 3 though
4.Spuds. For the last 2 seasons finished behind us by 1pt.Bale will be a big miss but they will have a striker this season
5.AFC This will the season we finish outside the top 4 we cant say it hasnt been coming

Relegated Palace Hull and Norwich

If Wenger finally gets his head out of the sand and buys 4 players accross the field we can win the league but with a squad of 20 players at a push I can see us dropping down to 7th.

Who else apart from Spurs are going to overtake us? In reality Everton and Liverpool have been miles off the last few seasons and neither have strengthened massively.

[DB10GOONER]

We will finish 4th. Again. Basically because there are 3 teams consistantly better than us and 16 teams consistantly worse.

Citeh, Chav, Manure (in whatever order) is a given as the top 3.

The Scum will lose Monkeycunt Features and even if they don't, he will be in a major huff and is not going to be as good as he was last year. Without him, they are total shite, and with him in a huff? Total shite.

Mousers are fucked. 6th or 7th at best and Rodgers will be sacked by February. Bet on this. Do it.

Toffees might be the dark horse with a new manager and new ideas. Unknown entity to some extent.

Well with the squad we got and when the injuries start to take a hold the only way is down I'm afraid so yes I see Sp@rs , Liverpool and we will be with the likes of Everton,Newcastle,Villa and even Swansea battling for the 7th place I hope I am wrong as I put 30 quid on Arsenal to win the PL as I belived this year would be different not worse been conned hook line and sinker .

I wouldn't even wish an injury on Barton...
but with you 100% on vanStaplec*nt

But those teams were miles worse than us last year and haven't strengthened significantly. Although standing still isn't going to get us closer to winning the league and may see us overtaken by the Scum, we haven't actually lost anyone. The points differences between us and those clubs last season:

Everton (10)
Liverpool (12)
Swansea (27)
Villa (32)
Newcastle (32)

Can't see any of them getting near us this year - maybe Everton or Liverpool if they do surprisingly well and we do surprisingly poorly (for the whole season) but the rest? No way.

Without any signings I can see us being at least 10 points worse off Villa and Newcastle will not have the same sort of season as last year I say they will be at least 15 points better off and a couple games difference and Swansea could be dark horses to get into the top 6

[RioGooner]

Everton didn't improve massivly but they did add some quality to their side. If that Deloufeu kid is as good as everyones seem to think, they just might get into the top four scrum

[DB10GOONER]

Arsenal will finish 4th. About 15 to 20 points behind the PL champions (Citeh or chav).

[northbank123]

Big question is will we still be in the title race by the first international break?

Well if you consider last night as the first interlull break then I'd say no.
