Premier League Thread 2011/2012

May as well kick this off. How does anyone see the league going this year?
My Predictions (for what they are worth).

1. Man Utd - have bought well although keeper may take time to adjust and Rooney will be hitting the ground running this year.

2. Chelsea - have not strengthened enough, still need a right back and not convinced Torres will ever be the same player he was but like the cut of the jib of AVB and despite age of squad have enough know how to go close enough.

3. Man City - some people are talking of them as title contenders but they may not have improved from last year. If Tevez goes he will be hard to replace despite the money City have spent and City still do not have the creativity to unlock the top teams.

4. Liverpool - hard one to call but think they may pip Arsenal who still have not fixed their defence and will be to reliant on RVP who could get injured at any time.

Relegated - Blackburn, Wigan, Swansea.

As for my own team Everton, Moyes will do well to keep us around 8th.

Liverpool to win, and have the league sewn up by March.

Or else the season to be over in November again.

I have excluded Arsenal as I think they will really ordinary without Nasri and Fabregas. Wenger seems to have lost a few wires in his head the past couple of years. United are going to walk the league this year imo. City far too negative and this will cost them points at home. I think Villa Boas is going to be a great manager but he needs time to build his own team at Chelsea which is going to take more than one season. Liverpool really need to sort out their defensive problems, Enrique is a good signing but they need a top class centre back as well. I f Spurs were to bring to bring in a couple of top class strikers, they would give United a good run for the title but they don't look as if they are going to bring anybody in.

18. Wigan
19. QPR
20. Blackburn

Should be a decent season. Probably three genuine title contenders, three good contenders for the last CL place, and a heap of shite teams to battle it out at the bottom.
