City to win League,

Chelsea to sack Di Matteo before end of February.

Spurs to sack AVB before Xmas

Man U to challange City hard for title and take advantage of any slip ups

Arsenal, Chelsea & Liverpool to fight out pos 3 to 5, Ias a LFC fan, I hope we make top 4 but think thats unlikely this season

Will watch Newcastle with interest to see if last season was a one season wonder.

and in my dreams, Liverpool to win the league kicking off the season with the systematic dismantling of Cit, Arsenal and Man U in our first 3 home games...

I honestly don't believe Liverpool will be anywhere near the top 6.

There squad is simply not good enough, and they have done nothing to improve it, just bough lesser quality players - they simply cant compete to draw players.

They will have to be like Newcastle and find hidden young talent who hopefully bloom in the style they want to play.

Still least they are not in Debt!

Hmmm we're better than that. The team last year played good, at times great football and dominated many games, including in the disasterous second half of the season.

What the team couldn't do last year was score goals, in other words it went badly wrong in the last thrid of the field.

The challange for this season will be how Brendan Rogers sorts that problem out while gelling together his plans and ideas and the players he wishes to buy and for that matter sell. How successful he is will decide if we are a top 4, top 6 finish club or not.

Most supporters, certainly match going ones will accept this is a season of change and so while expectations will be high, they'll be realistic too. Ofcourse if BR and FSG have got this badly wrong and LFC are battling in the bottom half of the table, well let's not even go there...

Im not a match going supporter but i have followed them since i was six.

There has been a season of change for years now..

Liverpool do not have the quality of players to play like barcelona/arsenal - and have always struggled to get the ball forwards with killer balls and it goes sideways, been like that since steve mcmanaman.. except for the year they came 2nd, when alonso/gerrard played a blinder of a season.

They have no talented wing players who can carry the ball as well as pick out a decent cross either.. been like that for years!

sorry, as a fan i still say they will struggle over the course of the season, esp against mid table/lower table sides.

They wont be in the botton of the half table wise, but will struggle to get top 6.

Two things there I'd like to comment on:

1) Supporters go to the match and support the team, both financially, and vociferously, whereas fans are those who can't get there, don't like to go to the matches, or can't afford to go (in my humble opinion)

2) Liverpool are too good to be bottom half of the table, but not good enough for top six, not this year at least. 7th-10th would be a more realistic expectation.

Fair point Wishy about fans/supporters, I guess i was trying to draw a difference betweenthiose that support the club through thick and thin and those whom phone up local and national phone ins slagging off players and managers one week and bigging them up the next.

As for where we finish, I'll stick with somewhere between 3rd and 5th....

He's not very careful when he throws himself into a tackle - remember he crocked Billy Sharp for Doncaster last season? Sharp was out for months afterwards.

would also disagree, in the 70's never missed a home game for 3 seasons and managed one season to do all but 2 games..

not been to the match since the early 80's but would still class myself as a supporter..

my predictions..

Wenger will only see bad tackles and decisions against his team..

Old strawberry conk will continue to wind people up..

Spurs fans will be scratching their heads at villas boas ..

Not sure about Di Mateo, he was on a bounce back last season and Chelsea will miss Drogba..

Rogers, may be found out after the 'first season in the prem'..

and several players will dive, cheat and generally act like petulant overpaid thugs with no respect for the officials..

nothing changes..

Don't think the referee saw it that way...from memory not even a booking. Sharp is injury prone... wonder how he'll do this year with Southampton in the Prem? That game kicked off last season with a 2-1 win with an injury time winner. Are you a Donny fan?

So if you can't afford to go to matches, (bearing in mind that some prem club tickets are very expensive and many people are struggling financially at the moment) that makes you less of a supporter?

I went to one of Arsenal's games last season and there was a couple in front who were on a date who talked through the whole thng like they were in a coffee shop. Not cheering, not watching the game. Wish they did go to a coffee shop and let people who love the club get those seats!

Actually id go United City spurs chelsea arsenal Liverpool lucky if they make 6.Spurs are an improving side, Arsenal getting worse, and Liverpool show no real signs of quality anymore. Chelseas Champ win gives pressure and they to be fair arent the side they were. City too I think will struggle to sustain now that they are the team to beat.

"

I did say 'in my humble opinion' as I know different people have different definitions of what a supporters is and what a fan is.

I've been to Old Trafford 5 times in my life but have been a fan of United since I first knew what a football was, but, having said that, I am a member of the Supporters Club (as is my daughter) purely so that we can apply for tickets to the bigger games but there's no guarantee we'll get them. I have a dozen shirts past & present in my wardrobe and I watch them whenever they are on the TV, but I still class myself as a fan because I don't go to every home game and as many away games as I'd like (I do go to the Newcastle/United match but it's nerve-racking cheering on my team whilst sat amongst 50,000 die-hard geordies!).

It's really down to each person's interpretation of whether they consider themselves a fan or a supporter but I think supporters go to the matches, and fans don't for one reason or another.

Donny fan - yes. Poor me eh!! Sharpe will be ok at Soton as long as he stays injury free. Trouble is he's quick and defenders just kick the shit out of him as he tries to get around them. Still, that's why they get paid obscene amounts of money.

I reckon we'll be back in the Championship at the end of the season. Got rid of some crap players and got some promising yougsters in.

Not a chance while that tosser Bates is still in charge. I reckon the "takeover bid" will suddenly collapse leaving things worse than before now all our best players have been sold. As far as I can see the only good thing is Lonergan has gone and Kenny is replacing him mid to lower table finish this season.

I've heard it's not a player exchange. It looks like McCormack might sign a new contract. Also, it's on SSN that Peltier is undergoing a medical.

Agree with the other comments about Bates though, he does really need to leave if the club is to move forward.

They're not really rangers anymore, they've been liquidated, whats in division 3 is a newco. Although this year with Celtic won't be much different to the 90's when old rangers were spending so much more than anyone else. We'll see a lot more youth coming through the other teams now which will be a good thing.

Now Rangers aren't in the SPL they might just as well give Celtic maximum points and tell everyone to stay at home.

They're not really rangers anymore, they've been liquidated, whats in division 3 is a newco. Although this year with Celtic won't be much different to the 90's when old rangers were spending so much more than anyone else. We'll see a lot more youth coming through the other teams now which will be a good thing."

Scottish premiership will suffer sadly as there's a lot of money in "old firm" TV coverage.

does the scottish premier not suffer because of the oldfirm dominanace ? highly unlikely any other teams cam compete any team has a youngster of any talent there snapped up by the big two .look at attendances outside the oldfirm visiting clubs surely the fact that the likes of dundeeutd hearts &hibs haver a realistic chance of gaining a euro place through second place will lead to better attendances ?

It will take Rangers three seasons to get back into the top flight of Scottish football, which gives teams like Aberdeen, Dundee/s, Hearts, Hibs etc three seasons to compete for top spot with Celtic and/or European opportunities - and with that comes the additional revenues from playing European football and from Sky for top games. They need to spend that money wisely so that when Rangers get back to the SPL they don't automatically resume dominant position with Celtic.

It may turn out to prove that Rangers 'demise' could be good for Scottish football on the whole, but bad for Rangers obviously.
