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.

Agree g88ner - I can't agree when people claim United are going to be miles off the pace. Imo top 3 is basically nailed on, tough to call what order mind. Reality is it's very difficult to guess to what extent Mourinho can galvanise Chelsea - particularly given that they haven't got a striker who can stack up against van Judas/Aguero/Rooney. And who knows whether Pellegrini can get the most out of Citeh's talented squad - good manager but hardly a swashbuckling honours roll.

I think all of the promoted teams are strong candidates for relegation - I fancy Stoke, Norwich and Southampton to be thereabouts going towards the end of the season too.

City to win it. Chavs to be runners up. Rvp to get injured and united to pip us for 4th

third will be Liverpool or Swansea.

Bale less spuds stay up on last day of season, trogs burn down half of harringey. Everyone agrees it looks better.

Giroud our top scorer with 18 EPL goals. Feo agitates for and gets a move to Barca's bench.

Wenger awarded record contract day after ST renewals due. The lights from swathe of barbecues across North London can be seen from space.

As I think Chelsea will win this one quite easily, i have no clue as in which of the mancs will be runners-up.

We'll scrape for 4th again, of course, probably losing this time

What can I do if Wenger refuses to give us some peace of mind and sort at least a couple of our shortcomings by spending the money we got by selling everyone that looked half decent...and Song :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

I am assuming we ain't getting a big time striker. If we do it will be Suarez so two answers given in some cases.

1. Post where you believe Arsenal will finish in the Premiership table. 2nd behind Chelsea or 1st with Suarez
2. Post where you believe Arsenal will finish in the Champions League.Last 8
3. Post where you believe Arsenal will finish in the FA Cup.Winners
4. Post where you believe Arsenal will finish in the Capital One Cup (League Cup).Winners
1. Post who you think will be the top scorer for the club (all competitions total). (Bonus: How many?) Giroud 22 or if we get him - Suarez 24 as missing a few games
2. Post who you believe will be the most improved player. Giroud
3. Post who you believe will be the worst player. Jenkinson
4. Post who you believe will accumulate the most yellow cards (all competitions total). (Bonus: How many?)Gustavo - 6
5. Post who you believe will accumulate the most red cards (all competitions total). (Bonus: How many?)Koscielny 2
1. Will Arsene Wenger be the manager by the end of the season? Yes--1b. If not, who will replace him?
2. Will Stan Kroenke be the majority owner by the end of the season?Yes1. Who will leave the club in January?Rosicky2. Who will join the club in January? No one above 2m3. Who will join Arsenal on loan at any point during the season? No one4. Who will be loaned out at any point during the season? (Bonus point if you can say which team will take them). Myachi - Bolton, Bendtner - Stoke, Akpom Ligue2, Frimpong - Watford

It's absolute insanity JD - some people are a bit keen to dismiss you as WUMming just because you don't share their views but you can't actually think that we're going to finish 2nd.

Ludicrous to predict we're going to finish above United given the gap the last two seasons (and that they took their foot off the gas end of last season) and also above Citeh given that they've made 4 considerable signings and brought in a manager who can actually persuade the players to give a shit. For a start van Judas will bang in 25-30 league goals again and Aguero probably won't be too far off again with a bit more support and less pressure, so we're fighting a losing battle to begin with and it doesn't get that much better looking elsewhere.

Anyone predicting all of 1-20 will be wrong, it's a guess
I do expect us to finish ahead of ManUre. DDG, Vidic and vanStaplecunt are top notch but two are injury prone
Carrick is a good passer when given time and space. Rest of their team is decidedly average.
Hoping postMeatface they don't have the 100% ref backing that's been the Prem norm

Realistically Chelski and Citeh should finish ahead of us but they should have finished ahead of ManUre last season
hoping for them both to blow up two seasons in a row but predicted just one of them

Are you guys going to have a go yourself (using the proper format) or just snipe from the sidelines?

NB My predictions assume we get Gustavo - as one that has been screaming for a real number 6 for years I have to enthusiastically endorse the approach - however im not getting a little jittery that even this will not come off. I won't change my predictions though. They are locked in.

PS I love how on this forum one is a WUM for being positive.
