[wixon]

I know that there will be plenty of transfers going on but how about posting predictions for next season.


Champions: Newcastle - it will be their year

relegated:
Birmingham
Wolves
Leicester - no money, no hope.

[rebusrahman]

Champs: Man U
2nd Arsenal
3rd Newcastle
4th Boro
5th Chelsea
6th Liverpool

FA Cup: Newcastle
League Cup: Everton

Relegated: Wolves
Portsmouth
Fulham

[Chuck Morris]

I'm an Everton fan and i don't think we'll make it passed the 4th round in the League Cup as we never do! Although it would be a nice change because we have never won that cup. Personally i don't like it.
Here's my prediction.

Champions: Man United
2nd: Newcastle
3rd: Arsenal
4th: Liverpool
5th: Chelsea
6th: Everton

Relegated
Aston Villa
Bolton
Portsmouth

[Zygalski]

I don't think Boro will finish that high.

[rebusrahman]

Just trying to make it interesting, Zyg! Although it is difficult to go outside the big 5 I just wanted to make a diff prediction!

[clint]

Manchester United will win it next year, with Ronaldinho making an instant impact and RVN dominating once again.

This is how it will be.

Real Madrdid will win Champions League and will win it in a canter. How anyone can see them being beaten is beyond me;certainly the only way I can see is if they all play poorly and the other side, whoever that is, plays above themselves!

Anyway, that's how I see it all unfolding but, it is a very funny game, isn't it!

[rebusrahman]

I really hope that Real play Utd and Beckham puts them out with a free kick. Or better still a headed goal (and also has a stormer of a game). ;-)

Ferguson needs a good slap.

[clint]

As an avid ManU fan...I definitely don't want to see this! Becks is no longer a ManU player however I suspect he always will be part of ManU and always in the fans hearts, but...

If we do play them next year then, even though I hope he plays well as I enjoy watching him play, I would dearly love us to beat them with Ronaldinho playing a blinder and Fergie would be smiling and feeling quite proud of himself (that is of course, as is expected, Ronaldinho does make the move to OT).

[Chuck Morris]

I think if Beckham put them out with a Maradona 'hand of god' goal Fergie would be really pissed! It would be so funny to see Fergies reaction if something like that happened.

[Zygalski]

I don't think Fergie would do much.
Plenty of past players have scored against them and he didn't do anything.
Well, maybe complained about the ref....

[Adam bateman]

Most of u r tipping wolves 4 relegation?

I,m sorry but this is not going to happen.

WOLVES r the greatest and will easily finish in the top half next season (with a few quality signings, Sir Jack will not let us down for cash unlike the SHIT(W.B.A)).

DO U KNOW WHERE HELL IS,
HELL IS AT WEST BROM,
HEAVEN IS AT MOLINEUX,
AND THAT WHERE WE COME FROM.
I WAS BORN UNDER A WANDERES SCARF!!



COME ON WOLVES !!!!!!

[Chuck Morris]

Yeah but if Beckham scored with his hand like Maradona did to England, then Fergie would be really pissed.

[Zygalski]

Wolves would be most people's automatic choice as they haven't got the premiership experience.

But you are right to be confident and they could well be a surprise team next season.
Do you have any quality signings in mind or just being hopeful?

Honestly though, they are not the greatest.
No team in England is the greatest at anything.

Any players to watch out for from their present squad?
Any potential England players?

[robertstrode]

1:Man Utd
2:Chelsea
3:Newcastle
4:Arsenal
5:Everton


18:Leeds
19:Leicester
20:Portsmouth

[elliottume]

If Real and Man U were drawn against each other in the CL, then Fergie would have to start practising his boot-kicking again!

Then he could go to the Bootlympics... or not.

[jag87]

1. MAN UTD
2. NEWCASTLE
3. LiVERPOOL
4. CHELSEA
5. ARSENAL

18. VILLA
19. LEEDS
20. CHARLTON

[Chuck Morris]

Charlton???? They had a great season last season, they just didn't have the depth in their squad to keep it up. I doubt they will go down.

[jag87]

i kno bluescouse, but players such as konchesky and parker all have been links with moves away from their and without them to they would be in deep trouble. just a theory.

[Chuck Morris]

Thats very true. If lose them they will be doomed.

[jag87]

Rooneys wont be fit for the start of the season will he bluescouse? thats unlucky for you. if you make a few more signings a uefa cup place will be in reach i think.

[Chuck Morris]

I know yeah...ballache. It doesn't matter though, we're only playing Arsenal!
We're now linked with Kilbane & Savage. It would be quite funny to see Savage playing for us, let me tell you that he is not exactly a fan favourite with the Evertonians!

[jag87]

a silly question but why isnt he? did something happen last season when you played birmingham?
