Swap us with either Hull or Cardiff i really think we will struggle this season.

Should you just stick this in the same thread where we've already guessed?

 

As for dust settling......... Really

[aimaad22 4222]

I think there's a decent chance Fulham may finally go down this season. Also Southampton look good candidates for top ten.

As for the title its really impossible to say at the moment. Though I expect City and Chelsea to get their acts together at some stage and Arsenal to drop off a bit.

10-12 for us.

I think Liverpool have a chance of cracking the top 4 this year.

 

They could do with another decent midfielder to shift Henderson out of team. No europe will help as well.

Hull and Cardiff will stay up in my opinion.

 

For the players we have we should be nowhere near the bottom but I suspect we will flirt with relegation most of the season.

I think Henderson is going to suffer his whole career like Carrick has. He's a good midfielder and I think with games he'll only get better. I reckon he'll be good enough to fill 75% of the void left by Gerrard's departure (whenever that happens)

 

Hull and Cardiff will stay up in my opinion.

Really? I've seen nothing of Hull's game to suggest they're going to survive. The only way I can see them staying up is if there are 2 surprises in the bottom 3;

sunderland have got 3 or 4 decent players (Giacherrini, Johnson, etc.) but if they get the right manager and buy sensibly in January they'll flirt with, but not succumb to, relegation.

Fulham are struggling at the minute, but Jol is a very good coach and will get them hard to beat at home, and that will keep them in contention until they work out how best to utilise Taraabt, Bent and Berbatov.

We've got a very strong first team and I reckon we'll do some business in January, another Striker (by the way we need to buy Remy because if QPR steamroller the Championship as they are, his value will double), maybe a centre back and a right back.

Stoke don't look anywhere near as bad as they did under Pulis, but I don't think that will continue throughout the season.

 

I still think Hull and Palace will hold the rest of the Premier League upon their shoulders.

West Ham are looking shit. I'm only mentioning this as the pro-Big Sam press are afraid to.

[Howmanheyman 33845]

The pro-big Sam press are also pro-West Ham. Match made in heaven.

Aye I fancy Wist Am to struggle along with the makems and fulham/cardiff/Hull. Hull tbf did well up here (better than I certainly expected) and they've actually got some decent players in the middle of the park. Think they'll struggle for goal most weeks like and their defence is fairly poor. Think Stoke and Norwich might be lower bottom half too without being too near relegation.

We have a really tough run of games coming up and I fear we'll stuggle to pick up many points from them. If that's the case we'll be near the bottom come the end of next month and will be on a bit of a downer which as we've seen last season can be hard to pick ourselves up from. I fear this could turn what should really be a safe mid table season into a re run of last year.

Up the top Citeh and Chelsea will turn themselves round but Arsenal and Spurs could well be contenders. Manure could find themselves struggling to stay in the top four let alone keep hold of their title.
