AC MILAN to SerieB but somehow win the Champions League....LOL

GTG

fail

1) At least two managers will be sacked this season
2) Manucho will return to the EPL
3) One player will reveal how he rejected a big club
4) A few players will be injured for 3-4 months
5) At least one of the promoted clubs will actually manage to beat 2 giant clubs.
6) One of the giant clubs will suffer 2 draws, 1 win, and 2 losses.

I will give my prediction on all other teams...

Liverpool:
Previously thought they would be a strong contender but as for now, I predict may not do that well compare to last season unless there are some massive reinforcement for the loss assets

Chelsea:
Strong contender but may not win the title this season.

Manchester City:
Will have a lot of players' morality issue of not being able to play in first team. Spiky has a lot of works to be done to manage all the players.

Everton:
Will still be an improved team but may not achieve the same rank as last season.

Arsenal:
Still a strong team but Will have consistency problem of keep winning to cope for top places with the current competitiveness of BPL.


note: This is only a prediction and is pure based on personal views & are not against any team. Everyone is free to air their views on anything (in a good manner).

Portsmouth for relegation unless takeover happens in time.

Thats actually not giving a prediction on other teams, more like predicting your own team(Man U).
You could simply sum up the above post with a line as so:
Predictor Uno: Man United is going to win the BPL.

so EPL got only 6 teams ?

liverpool
chelsea
man city
everton
arsenal

and man utd

Another star foreign player will use the excuse of "I hate the English weather/ My missus wants me to move/ Playing for (insert team name here) has always been my dream" to want a move away to "greener" (the color of the bills?) pastures abroad.

On what account did i even said there are only 6 teams. Surely he cant be predicting a lesser BPL team to win the league?
Alright lets end the arguement. TS has his views and i respect them.
Mine : Villa to go one better this season.

City will win d epl

Good topic... But perhaps people reserve their comments to avoid offending anyone...?

Anyway, here are some of mine (I'm an Arsenal fan btw):

Prem Title: Liverpool
Statistically, they should have won last year if Gerrard and Torres were fit. If they keep hold of the squad, I think they will be odds on to win. If they don't... well you cannot possibly rule out Man Utd despite losing CRon.

Champs League spots: Same old same old.
As someone mentioned, Man City may face problems with their big squad. On the flip side, Villa may face problems with their small one. Year after year, I always feel that Spurs may pose a threat, but year after year I worry for nothing. But this year with ol 'Arry on board, they may be darkhorses.

Relegation Candidates
Burnley and Wolves to go back down (Wolves for no reason other than the top team from Championship always goes down!). Possibly Hull as well.

Player of the Year: Arshavin!!!
Ok slight bias here. But this guy is really something. If we were to challenge this year, you can bet your bottom dollar that we will depend heavily on the Russian. While I'm a bit pessimistic about our title chances, I think we will still be in the top 4 and his performances will play a key role.

Best Signing Michael Owen...?
Ideally, I should wait till the end of the window for this... But so far, there hasn't been a transfer to the prem that made everyone stand up and take notice. So I'll just go for Owen, who'll probably get a decent amount of goals... And he cost nothing too!

Worst Signing: Adebayor!!
Ok slight bitterness here. But 25 mio is a lot of money. Having said that, Roque Santa Cruz may struggle as well, as his record only shows one good year in Blackburn.

First Managerial Casualty
Probably one of the promoted clubs. Possibly also that guy Hart at Pompey. If Man City fails to break the top 4, expect Mark Hughes to be shown the exit door.

Others
1) Much closer race to the La Liga, but Barca to nick the title.
2) Don't watch much Serie A so I'll just tembak... er... Juventus?
3) World Cup winners.... England!... Ok I'm not much of a comedian... maybe Germany because Germany will always be GERMANY during tournaments.

Opinions in bold.

If he plays like last season (or even preseason. Did you guys see that last minute goal against atletico? Phenomenal), definitely. At less than 20m, he was best signing for last season. And I'm a Liverpool fan.

you guyz got time machine arr??

my only prediction.....tevez will be sold next season..

It's "Sparky" mate, not "Spiky"

Liverpool - Midfield might suffer when Macherano injure after Alonso departure
Chelsea - still as a strong contender, potential problem still lie on Ancelotti
Arsenal - still need to strengthen defense, no doubt Arshavin is man to watch this season

Champions League will be fight between La Liga and BPL team

1) El Classico will end up 0-0 in one of the two matches.
2) Liverpool will get more penalties than Manchester United in the league.
3) Barcelona will have 3 players in the top 4 for World Player of the Year and Ballon d'Or
4) Madrid will get thumped ONCE.
5) Madrid will win a game by a margin of 4 ONCE in the season.
6) Manchester City will sign another 30 million player during the January window.
7) Bayern Munich will run away with Bundesliga before the winter break.
8) Arsenal finally signs an outfield player above the age of 30 (Campbell as well )
9) Gareth Bale finally wins a league game.
10) Anderson does not score from open play in the league.
11) Messi to have a better season than Ronaldo.
12) Benzema to have a better season than Ibrahimovich.
13) Steve McMahon will predict that United will not win any trophies this season.

Manchester United will not win the EPL this season.
Manchester City will not break top 4 this season.
Chelsea Will need some more decent signing to be true contender for the title.
Liverpool will win the EPL,if Alonso and Mascherano somehow did not leave.
Lyon will win Ligue 1 france by a big margin.
Inter Milan will somehow win the Serie A title,after close battle with Juvents.
Real Madrid will not win anything this season,despite they made big signings.
Barcelona will still win the Primera División,after close battle with Real Madrid.
Some club from England will win the UEFA Champions League,while some clubs from Spain will win the 1st Europa League.
Owen will be the best signing of the season,while Ronaldo and any player bought by Man City will be the worst signing of the season.
Tevez will start complain and complain and complain again and again after a series of defeats by Man city,demanding a move from City at the end of the season.
Barcelona will not win the World Club Cup.

This is only prediction,so don't be mad.
