Premier league season

[someboyrafa]

As the new season starts this week end what are your predictions.

I think Chelsea will win the prem again.

Man U arsenal and and Man City will all be close for second. Stoke could be like Southampton last year and could have w really good season. Leicester Bournemouth and either Norwich or Watford to go down.

I think Middlesbrough will come up this year too

[j0rd]

1. chelsea
2. arsenal
3. united
4. city

west ham, watford and norwich relegated

[David]

1. chelsea's tour bus
2. manky united

4. old man wenger

[FlyingJesus]

Chelsea up top, Arsenal to be an interesting contender now that Cech's over there, City trying to buy anyone who looks a little bit English for £90m, Man U attempting to cover for the complete ballsup that is di Maria and pretending they're still a great team, Liverpool just floating around in the past as usual, Stoke punching people in the hip to annoy them... idk it's a pretty open season but Chelsea are going to top it unless something really drastically goes wrong

[DPS]

lul chelsea wont be winning nothing this season.

[IceNineKills]

1. Arsenal (obviously)
2. Chelsea
3. Man Utd
4. Man City

18. Sunderland
19. Norwich
20. Spurs



I did put a £1 bet on Watford to win the prem at 5000/1. Worth a shot.

[Phil]

Who are you all thinking for top goalscorer?

[onceawinner]

I predict it'll probably be;

1 Chelsea (but so wanna say Arsenal ... but they need more strikers)
2 If Arsnal aren't top they'll be Runners Up
3 Man City
4 Man U or Liverpool

Relegated:

18 1 from Newcastle Utd, Leicester or Sunderland
19 Norwich
20 Bournemouth (though I dearly dearly dearly hope I'm wrong)!! Please!!?

[Phil]

Just put on a five fold bet for the weekend and thinking of doing one for Benteke to be top goalscorer

[j0rd]

costa if we can keep him fit
if not, can't look past aguero

i'm still not convinced benteke suits lpools style so

[Phil]

I was gonna play it safe and just go Aguero but decided to go with Benteke with an e/w bet. PaddyPower is giving €2 free bet every time your goalscorer scores.

Is that a sign up offer?
I'll have a look into that

[FlyingJesus]

Di Maria for top sc.... oh wait

I think it prob will be Aguero, he's quite good at kicking the footballs into the nets and stuff like that

[Phil]

Is that a sign up offer?
I'll have a look into that

No it's not. There's a sign up offer bet €10 and get €30 freebet. They are also doing insurebet on five folds so if one team lets you down you get moeny back as free bet.

I just thought since Benteke is a new addition to the team, would they be unlikely to play him every match?

Nah he'll play most if not all. When Sturridge is fit they'll play 2 up front anyways

[Phil]

Considering any bets for the weekend?

[j0rd]

probably not
always get some odd results on the first weekend so i won't bother

probably get bored and put something on last minute :rolleyes:

[Johannes]

1. Chelsea
2. Man Utd
3. Arsenal
4. Man City

Arsenal will not finish 4th, for the first time ever.

Top scorer - Diego Costa, Aguero or Kane. Aguero is the most likely to do it I think. Maybe Falcao can suprise...don't believe he will tho.

[FlyingJesus]

Falcao won't get enough games for that :P

and benzema to be top goal scorer when we finally sign him.

When have you ever known an Arsenal fan who wasn't deluded they're nearly as bad as Liverpool fans

[Phil]

Well my forecast is already over for this weekend on the first bloody match!! If the rest coem through I get my money back as free bet tho.

[Spuds]

I'm intrigued as to why so many believe Manchester City will finish no higher than fourth place? Out of the last four seasons Manchester City are the only club to not finish outside of the top two.

The Manchester City squad has been improved this summer.

Do we use logic when forming opinions or do we allow personal opinions to be tainted by the poisoned opinions of the media?

Perhaps opinions are formed upon the same basis as those which left the golden boot winner out of the team of the year, or perhaps we use the same foundations which lead to many forming the opinion that the record four-time golden glove award winning goalkeeper is not an adequate goalkeeper.

[FlyingJesus]

That's the Arsenal fans again

they're crap now, they've lost it. they'll be like liverpool soon.

[FlyingJesus]

Ouch I don't like Man City but comparing people to Liverpool is just uncalled for

[Spuds]

That would explain it. I'm still anticipating a boom-bust cycle JPEG for Arsenal, a bit like the Liverpool one.

We can't be too far off it. The Tarquins and the media have been telling us for the last four - five seasons that it's their year.


they're crap now, they've lost it. they'll be like liverpool soon.
That's an interesting thought. What makes you say this?

Is it the acquisition of one of England's finest young talents? Perhaps the strengthening of their midfield with an England international? Maybe it's the imminent signing of the Bundesliga player of the year?

It seems strange that we'rep so quick to discredit the only team not to finish outside of the top two positions over the last four seasons.

[Prosiary]

Great first day... would of thought United vs Spurs match would of had a few more goals, Darmian looked good.

I think it'll finish like

1st Chelsea
2st United
3rd City
4th Arsenal
5th Liverpool
6th Spurs

not bothered about what players you've signed. i just don't like man city and i hope they flop.

[Spuds]

You holding a disliking for the club doesn't mean that the club is "crap".

I don't particularly like Suarez, it doesn't mean that he's not a world class forward.



--

FlyingJesus, what was Ivanovic doing yesterday? He was so poor, has he had a poor pre-season as well? It's a game of ifs and buts, however if we win on Monday, Sterling will be relishing the chance to come up against Ivanovic if he's in the same form. A five point gap after two games would be a nightmare start for Chelsea.

[j0rd]

whole new level of deluded

Ivan's become a bit of a liability at the back and does need to improve, but we're not really in the state to chop and change at the back at the moment either

[FlyingJesus]

Completely mental first day for a lot of teams, I can't see all of these performances continuing through the season so still difficult to judge a lot of what might happen. All the Arsenal fans on facebook giving up already lmao why is it always them who get so suicidal about it all

[Spuds]

Don't think today went to plan for IceNineKills. I'm reluctant to mock too much as we haven't played, although I do wonder if Arsenal fans will still be telling us that Cech is going to win them the league.

As for the 'mental' opening day, I think the gap between the top six and the rest of the league is shortening each season.

[IceNineKills]

we'll still win the league.

[FlyingJesus]

Yeah definitely all getting a lot closer overall, same happening on an international level too because the game as a whole has elevated ridiculous levels in the past 10 years or so - look at what people thought was a good player in the 80s and Peter Crouch looks like a god :P

[j0rd]

do you think Benzema can play CB and GK too lads?

[FlyingJesus]

If the ball got into the Arsenal box he'd probably get to it before Mertesacker

If Newcastle play like they did first 75 mins until Anita went off injured I think we'll stay up easily. Last 15 minutes we were shocking. The improvement from carver/ Pardew was noticeable tho

[Phil]

About time Man U bought a winger who isn't a total waste of time and money but why can no-one make their mind up whether to call him Memphis or Depay

[j0rd]

I agree. He's in great form, and he could be a good signing for Chelsea, even tho I think Cuadrado deserves more game time. He's only played, I think it's 13 matches for Chelsea.

[j0rd]

looks like cuadrado is on his way to Juve on loan anyways

[Prosiary]

it seemed like chelsea signed cuadrado to stop anyone getting him lmao

i hope he's not going to juve, but it seems likely..

[j0rd]

what about him? Pedro is too good to not be played as a starter.
I think our front line (even when Oscar is fit) will be the same as the west brom game

so Costa, Hazard left, Willian centre and Pedro right.

I agree, although I do think that Oscar will be selected. He played very well last season, maybe they'll swap him and Willian sometimes?

[Spuds]

Perfect weekend for Manchester City, sitting very pretty on the top. Cherry would be a Swansea win tomorrow.

Tough for us after the international break, away at Palace who are playing some nice stuff.

[someboyrafa]

Ref totally spoilt the newcastle v arsenal game today. Arsenal aren't even close to winning Orem this year.

[j0rd]

only city are even close to a prem winning team

chelsea were piss poor, i can't even. legit got no words

[Phil]

Only match I was even surprised today was the Liverpool game. I thought C Palac would win 1-0 or 1-1 draw, I think they're a great team and I haven't been overly impressed with Chelsea so far

[someboyrafa]

Pardews got a decent record against Chelsea last few year like

[flyingcheese101]

Liverpool!! Go on Reds!!!

- - - Updated - - -

Although Benteke may not suit Reds style :(

I still reckon he'll get in top 3 goal scorers

[Phil]

As long as he gets in top four I'll be relatively happy :P He's still 3rd favourite to get top for the season!

[Jake]

Hoping Palace get make top 4 & southampton make top 6

[Phil]

Would love to see Palace draw their game with City this weekend, their streak has to end soon!

[Jake]

I am really excited for the rest of the season & im hoping chelsea make a little bit of progress as they are shocking recently, My dream team isnt doing too bad this year aswell!

[Phil]

Any predications for today? I have a fivefold accum which is unlikely to come in but be grand!!

[flyingcheese101]

Chelsea are doing downright horrible, hoping Liverpool wins. COME ON YOU REDS!!

I think Chelsea were crap hence the two goals but have picked up the pace since. The Everton defense is on point and can't see Chelsea winning the game, maybe a draw. All the goals have been great! Either way, looks like I'm going to be let down on my first leg :llllll

flyingcheese101; I, for some reason, have Utd down to win and I have no clue why because they've been a disgrace all season. Looks like with the Chelsea game I've already lost so if so I'll also be hoping for a Liverpool win but as long as Benteke knocks a few in I'm happy :P

Im not liking the fact the palace Swansea and Southampton games are all 0-0 and they are the only ones I had a bet on :(

The only bet I have open now is a double for:

Man City Win, Both to Score (NOT LOOKING GOOD)
Arsenal Win to Nil (LOOKING GOOD OKAY WOO)

[Jake]

Oh man!
I have palace to beat city
Swansea to beat Watford
Southampton to beat West Brom

Anything is possible though!

For those of you not watcing the Palace v City match, Aguero went off injured in the first half.

Oh man!

Even thought I have the bet on City I would love to see Palace win. City just missed an open goal :lllll Think it was Navas but quality is really bad on my online stream

[Jake]

Fml Watford just scored - *waits* for palace and Southampton to win 2-0 ea

[Phil]

For me to get anything I need at least three goals in the next 30 mins

[Jake]

Goodluck dude!

Red card to Watford. This could get interesting quite fast!

[Phil]

It's not happening lmao. If there's any goals at all it'll just be the one. Both teams defending very well.

[FlyingJesus]

I'm thinking perhaps we should not send 30 of our players out on loan, then we might have some options other than the same basic starting 11 every week that clearly isn't working :P

[Jake]

NO WAY!

[Phil]

Gutted for Palace! 5 mins added time, one goal each please ox

[Jake]

Haha its still possible!

[Phil]

Down deep I really wanted Palace to win even though I had money on City lol

[Phil]

Liverpool v.s. Man Utd coming up!

Don't have any money on this match but what are we thinking? Looking at Utd so far I'd have to say a draw or Liverpool for this one.

[FlyingJesus]

Do you feel like you are particularly missing any of them?

Not really as most have never actually played a game for Chelsea anyway lol but Nathan Aké would be a nice option to have and Isaiaiaiaiaah Brown is the future of English football but we seem to be sending him away in the same way Lukaku and Sturridge were which is a waste

[Jake]

Tbh I reckon utd will do this. Just have a feeling.

[FlyingJesus]

I have analysed all the stats and can now positively conclude the issue is that we are letting in more goals than we score, which is (as many here will I'm sure be amused to note) rather the opposite of what one aims to achieve in a football match

Newcastle and Chelsea in a relegation battle, who would have predicted that in pre-season?
