1 -Man City (Best manager in the world, best squad in PL so this outcome seems likely, Winning it 2 years running is seen as a very tough thing to do but Pep’s the man to do it.)

 

2- Liverpool (recruited well, won’t run City close though imo, Allison is a great addition, so they all are actually. Henderson will be struggling the start ahead of Fabinho.)

 

3 - Arsenal (Don’t think Emery has the defence he wants yet despite summer incomings but they will be far more disciplined at the back and going forward are as good as anyone. With so much expectation on Aubamyang for goals, Lacazzete has gone under the radar a bit. Expect him to be top scorer.)

 

4 - Man Utd (Fred is a very good addition in that he will go box to box and free Pogba up a bit more. Not good enough all round though. Expect that they will finish above Chelsea who will start slowly and Spurs who haven’t done a thing.)

 

5 - Chelsea (should get better as the season progresses, Jorginho will be at his best next to Kante and if he stays Hazard will enjoy Sarri’s system. Expect a slow start.)

 

6 - Tottenham (I don’t think the top 6 will be broken this season. Spurs still have a decent squad, albeit lacking depth, Eriksen’s quality and Kane’s prolific nature has them just ahead of the chasing pack which should include Wolves, Everton and West Ham. Fulham and Leicester have potential to be in that category too.)

 

7 - Wolves (Very strong squad and a manager that has been very successful at them with his 3-4-3 system. Rubin Neves will be star of the show, Diogo Jota is quality, Adam Traore is potentially brutal to face as a defender. Don’t know if Dendoncker will play in defence or midfield but he’s another promising youngster.)

 

8 - Everton ( I rate Marco Silva very highly, his football is great on the eye and he’s made some solid signings. Tosun will be the big man up top, basically there to poach and piss defenders off with his physicality. Behind him the 3 of Richarlison, Sigurdsson and Bernard could be quite sexual.)

 

9 - West Ham ( Great window for them with plenty of impressive signings, Don’t think Pellegrini is as good a manager as the 2 above but you can’t fault his recruitment. Easily enough quality for a top half finish. Yarmolenko and Anderson will with be massive successes or complete flops, there’s no middle ground imo.)

 

10 - Leicester (Richardo Perera should be a great signing regardless of the position he plays in on the right, I also expect big things from James Maddison too. If N’didi matures a bit defensively and Ihianacho can put pressure on Vardy then they do have potential to go higher than 10th.)

 

11 - Fulham (Play an attractive brand of football , they have probably had the best transfer window in the league. Think they might be cut open a bit by teams at the top but given their style and quality they can batter below par shite. Lots of top signings but the pick of the bunch for me is Seri, he’s of similar quality to Fred. Mitrovic is also a very underrated player.)

 

12 - Crystal Palace (Roy has them set up well, they aren’t amazing but unlike many teams will have a more settled squad from the off, a problem is their reliance on Zaha and if he gets injured they might struggle again. Max Meyer is a signing that could go either way.)

 

13 - Bournemouth (Was thinking they were in trouble but the signing of Lerma will give them more of a physical edge in midfield. Lots of pacy, exciting, attacking players but nobody very consistent.)

 

14 - Brighton ( Back 4 looks pretty strong now and they have got attacking players capable of making things happen such as Izquierdo who I expect the earn a move to a bigger club after this season. Their season will probably be finished by February.)

 

15 - Newcastle ( Haven’t been overly impressed with their business but I do think they Start this season very slightly stronger than they finished the last one, Going forward may be a struggle, Kenedy will be capable of a bit of magic and Atsu has pace but if they get too deep as they did last season it will be Rondon vs the whole defence at times. They will hope Ki will offers more passing quality to start attack’s. I predict that they will stay up on the basis that they concede less goals than the teams below them plus their shitfestability is bound to fluke them a couple of wins over the season.)

 

16 - Huddersfield (This is where it gets tough, I think their business has been ordinary but better than most have made out, they have a well enough balanced squad and a decent manager too.)

 

17 - Southampton ( I don’t rate Mark Hughes but I think they have more quality than those below them comfortably and while I think they’ll leak a lot, some good players going forward. It is crucial that Redmond comes good this season cause he’s they only person who possesses great pace.)

 

18 - Burnley ( I do think they’ll go down, not spent enough money and lack quality. I think It will be especially hard for Dyche to motivate his players given how much mentally energy his play style requires on the back of last seasons success.)

 

19 - Cardiff (Will start well but fade away, lack premier league quality. Pretty simple.)

 

20 - Watford (Appears to be a bad vibe around the club and there is nobody in the team I look at and think he going to deliver consistent good performances apart from Doucoure.)

 

 

I spent way too long on this[emoji23]

 

Looking back over my (lengthy) pre-season predictions makes for interesting reading. Some things I’ve said have been fairly accurate however I have also got a couple of teams horribly wrong, most notably Watford.

I've not known you very long Rab(or should that be "Nesby"), but you replying to every anonymous poster on this forum with these cringey colloquial nicknames  is easily the thing I dislike about your account most.

Definitely stick to Rab, Estragon is a fud, we’ve only just met :). Guess a lot of us just go a long way back and have become good pals.

He could still get the top ten in the exact correct order which would be some effort, to be fair. 

I remember predicting Villa to be comfortably midtable and Leicester to finish bottom the year they won the league and we finished on seventeen points. 

So, ermm... he's probably better at this than me!

Fulham was slightly off

Yep, still think they made a big mistake sacking Jokanovic so early. Given time he would have adapted to the premier league and on paper they have a lot of talent players. Benching Cairney and Sessegnon for old, past it players in Schurle and Babel wasn’t one of Ranieri’s best ideas.

Is ‘Estragon is a fud’ the latest instalment of Jimmy85 still not coping too well without PnB?

Liverpool reportedly close to agreeing a new kit deal with Nike. Would be a record British deal close to a Billion pounds over 10 years.

That would be a fantastic bit of business from Liverpool.

Nah, he got banned for god-knows what reason and has been back not coping too well with some standard cretinous accounts since.

Genuinely forgot about Danny Drinkwater.  You'd have thought Sarri would punt him back to Leicester on loan or something.  Given he's about 40 years from the Chelsea starting 11.

Kind of wondering who he is and wondering why he has targeted Estragon so specifically when@Dindeleux is the most obvious Killie poster to get pelters ( sorry, my fellow Kilwinningite).

Tom Heaton looks to have won the 3 way England keeper battle at Burnley with the BBC gossip page saying they'll be offloading Pope and undecided on Joe Hart.

I'd have said Pope was the best out the 3 and he's by far the youngest.
