Season Predictions (17/18)

[DJ Barry Hammond]

 

I've added some poles to capture your predictions, but you can use your own comments to suggest;

 

• FA Cup Winner
• League Cup Winner
• Winners of Championship / League One / League Two
• Champions League Winner / Europa League Winner
• First Managerial Casualty
• Top goal scorer (Premier League)
• Golden Boot (Europe)
• World Cup Winner (Russia 2018)
• One bonus prediction of your own choice (e.g. Matty James to make the England squad for the World Cup.

There's no points or prizes for this; so take this as seriously or not as you like. You may use a prediction later in the year for bragging rights though should you choose.

John Terry? 

[BenTheFox]

I know it's stupid to predict the table well before the end of the transfer window but this is what I went with. I think the top six will be very tight but I think playing at Wembley may effect Spurs, otherwise they'd be right up there. I think it will be between Chelsea and Man United for the title. I just think that Man City, Liverpool are just too suspect defensively and I can't see Arsenal winning the league under Wenger. 

[ThingsCouldGetMessi]

Champions: Chelsea because they have Kante

 

Relegated: Huddersfield, Swansea, Watford

Shakey not to be sacked

I can't see Chelsea being toppled this season. They're a proper team, very strong in most areas, a quality manager, and they have Kante. Amazing because they looked to have numerous weaknesses last summer, but it seems many of their underperforming players found their feet again, the opposite to us really.

 

Huddersfield will go down, they're just not good enough. The Championship is weak these days, though Newcastle should have enough talent to do ok, and Brighton might just scrape up. Watford look to have gone backwards over the last 18 months and I think they'll go. Palace regularly struggle now so I voted them to be the other team to get relegated. Swansea will also struggle but I think they'll just get away with it.

 

We'll show glimpses of our former greatness (a la last season) but form will be in and out. With us struggling to recapture an identity via an inconsistent style and some needlessly negative approaches to several matches, we'll underacheive and finish somewhere like 11th. I will be pulling my hair out knowing that we are capable of beating anyone if we just had a go and played the attacking high tempo style that won us the league. We'll accumulate 37 central midfielders yet not one of them will be able to supply a creative spark. Matty James will impress early on then spend the rest of the season on Mendy's old treatment table (which has his name carved into it). Our away ends will continue to be shit. There will be a 200 page thread about whether Rachel Riley is truly commited to the club.

 

Spurs will finish 3rd but will once again claim the moral victory and Kane will enter the record books for the world's longest chin.

As we're now into the week before the Premier League starts, I thought I'd give this a bump.
