Champions, Europe and Relegation
      #12774 - 17/08/2008 20:04

Several questions guys. Who do you think will be crowned Premier League Champions? Who if any will be most capable of breaking into the top four? Who will gain qualification for European Competitions come next May and who will suffer relagation?

from what i have seen so far i would say chelsea need to take advantage quickly of ronaldos absence from the man u team as man united are very ordinary without him so therefore chelsea for the league!at the moment aston villa look the most likely to get into the top 4 but i doubt any team will.if everton had the money(where has it gone?)i am 100% sure they would break the monopoly but they cant at the moment but maybe moyes is doin a fergie from 96 and playin the kids"you win nothin with kids".spurs might!for europe anyone from villa,everton??,spurs and someone from the fair play league like fulham!!!stoke,hull and wba for the drop!what about you?

Already people are saying the title is Chelsea's...come off it! 1 match in! Chelsea usually start in a blaze and then settle down mid season....and it wouldn't be the first year Man U have started auspiciously. In summary, It's a marathon not a sprint, a game of 2 halves, the season will sort the men from they boys and whoever loses will be sick as a parrot, contrasting with the winners who'll be over the moon brian.

p.s. Cov...top of the league, WOOOOO!

Even though Man United will be distracted by the Club World Cup and weakened by Ronaldo's injury, I still expect them to come strong after Christmas and just about hold off Chelsea. Liverpool will edge out Arsenal in the battle for third, with Villa fifth and Blackburn sixth. As for relegation, West Brom should stay up, with Hull, Stoke and Fulham in the bottom three.

Manchester United should even up league champions honours with Liverpool by winning it for the 18th time come May despite not currently adding to the squad. Chelsea will almost certainly become runners-up with Arsenal finishing in 3rd and Liverpool lagging behind in 4th in Rafael Benitez last season in charge at Anfield. Favourites for the UEFA Cup spots look like being fought out between Aston Villa or Tottenham "possibly Everton if additions to the squad can be made". For relagation, i fear for Stoke and Hull City despite the latter getting off to a great start. Also to drop despite an awful lot of transfer activity during the summer, will be Fulham whom have had one to many escapes of late and Andrew Johnson may have wished he had remained at Goodison Park.
