Red Devils all the way.  Another season, another league title, another familiar story!

Trying to put together a prediction for top four,  but i can't..

This season is going to be interesting.. Man City bringing in Aguero, one of the world's top strikers in my opinion, is a massive plus, but with Balotelli being homesick and Tevez not wanting to play there they have a lot of problems as well.

Liverpool have brought in some fantastic talent but without sorting the defence they just won't win enough games, really will be the target i think.  Injury is always a problem as well, will need Gerrard fit.

Man Utd have a great prospect in Hernandez, and Berbatov to aid him would be a good striking force.  Losing Van Der Sar and Neville is big though, and they'll have to make sure there defence is up to the challenge.  Curious to see who they play in midfield as well...

Chelsea, a lot of good players, but haven't done much to strengthen that, don't see them improving this year..

I think they'll be the top four, but like i said, no idea in what order..

Arsenal and Tottenham the only teams hoping to get a look in on them

Man Utd wins again, way to go, only if West Indies use to win as much as they do...

Going to Villa was going to be tough, especially missing 6 starters.

We played well in the second half but didn't warrant a win, as the result suggested.  Although i don't understand why a penalty wasn't given when Dunne decided to play as goalkeeper.

Look forward to the summer though LOL

Hoping we bring in Adam and Young.  

How about everyone else?  Who are you hoping your team brings in?

Man Utd has a happy knock of being shocking against one of the promoted teams!

Fair comment , the English Premiership's top 4 was predictable , but it's also fair to say that some results against the sides at the bottom were surprising.

And we did pretty well at Arsenal, in fact thats two out of three season we've won down there. The fact that my oldest two son's went all that way makes it even sweeter, real fans and supporters of their local team which is getting rare these days.

The bottom of the table has really become a battle of survival, which teams do you think are going down - and who is staying up?

I hope Blackpool stay up, and it's a shame to see West Ham go down..

That's not fair to think it's false because we lose to a team, a really good team at that.  We embarrassed Man Utd, beat chelsea, drew with Arsenal.  We've achieved a hell of a lot since January - putting together the best statistics since the takeover.

Also before the Tottenham game we were scoring a handful a game, it wasn't just Fulham that we scored so many against

And hey, if were beating Man Utd etc and losing the odd game to Tottenham, or the odd one.. i'm happy with that and think that'll take us up

But i don't think we mind being underdogs..

Kenny has just signed on for a 3 year deal along with Steve Clark - that's good timing ^

No doubt Fulham weren't looking good, but to score 5 goals - and how comfortable certain players were, was good to see.

You're right about Dalglish, you can tell everyone really enjoys playing under him.. and if he doesn't stay you will see some tears Cry

I saw the game live - Liverpool played fine football. As good as they have played of late. They will only improve from here.

Big smile Did anyone catch the game yesterday?
It was score at will, apart from 10-20 minutes Fulham looked alright.  First four minutes we had scored twice, one within the first 40 seconds!
None of their defenders could deal with Suarez, i'd like to see a team that could - after Man Utd failed miserably too Approve

Maxi has scored 6 goals in 3 games now, 13 in 3 for the team LOL He's the kind of player that wants he gets his confidence - he'll not stop.
Obviously i don't mean scoring that many every game - but we'll be seeing improvement in him!

Soccer is not my stronghold but no way on earth will Liverpool end up ahead of Man Utd or Chelsea.
 
That's like thinking that West Indies will be #1 next year.

Interesting Vote4peace - no Man Utd or Arsenal?

I'm going to for..

1.  Liverpool
2.  Man Utd
3.  Chelsea
4.  Tottenham

Hate to say it, but the top two may switch Stern Smile
And then Arsenal 5th with City just behind them.

Thank you, i think LOL Although i don't think it's just optimism and hope - statistics are there
But you could be right Sledge, our forwards are young, could take us a couple of seasons to get there, but i don't see a reason we can't now - on to next season! Embarrassed

I don't think City will be in the top four next season, Man Utd will be, goes without saying.  I'd like to see Tottenham up there as well, im a great fan of some of there players!

A little more interesting people - post the top four as you see it next season!
I'll pop back on soon and do mine - back to work Wink
