Season starts this weekend.

Arsenal batter PSG 5-1.

MU thrashed 4-1 by Liverpool.

The Villa now third richest club in the country.

Wolves back in the big time.

Might be an interesting season.

Maybe do a prediction thing again we did a table last year didn't we?

[Ol’ Qwerty Bastard]

it'll be a close one with spurs, chelsea, and city all within a few games of each other, maybe united too.

these were my predictions for last season. a few way off but a few spot on or very close as well.

it's gross saying liverpool will win the league but i can't deny theyre looking incredible. great season last year and some awesome signings has them poised to make a good run. only other real possibility for me is that City repeat.

Liverpool won't come close imo. Their front three will fail to produce the same kind of numbers - especially Salah. They still have that curse of being Liverpool and having a manager who thinks it's more important to eventually get a statue and freedom of the city than win games.

United are in for a disastrous season as well. Mourinho's third season, always ends the same way. Bought badly and I see no reason for optimism.

Call me a nutter, but I think it's between Chelsea and Arsenal for the title.

[Ol’ Qwerty Bastard]

you're a nutter

won't be surprised at all if united finish outside of the top 5, i'll agree with you on that. my placement of them is a very optimistic one.

thing about Liverpool is their front 3 wont need to do as much because the rest of their team has been improved considerably which takes a lot of the pressure off of them. i have a hard time doubting Salah will do anything but amazing things this season.

That is

I'd really like to see Leicester and Wolves have a successful season.

You're a nutter btw Arsenal won't win the league.

I actually hate Klopp. Such a bellend.

Arsenal have signed a first choice GK, CB and DM. All of which improve our team to some degree. We also have a new manager - who's value cannot be understated. How many times have people said "Arsenal have a great squad but..." then talk about how sh*t Wenger is and how the team isn't set up right?

This season we will also have Aubameyang from the start, Lacazette in his second season after an adaption period (not a huge fan but can score goals) and hopefully a fit Ramsey. If those three can link up with Mesut, the goals will literally not stop. Just need the new manager to tighten up the defence. If he does that, we can compete for it.

[Ol’ Qwerty Bastard]

mesut sucks

only prem player less valuable than fellani

[Goofle]

Best playmaker the league has seen.
