English Premier League Predictions 2004-2005.

There are literally ten's of people who follow the English Premier League and also post on the TFP.

This thread is for you.

I want your guesses who is going to win, who you think will be relegated and tell me how you think your team will fare this term.

What are your gut feelings on incoming/outbound transfers?

Tell us about it. We're all ears.

________________________




I've followed Newcastle United long enough to know that we will leak stupid goals, lose when we should have won, reach a semi-final or two and keep the leading pack looking down over their shoulders.

I quite fancy us to win a trophy this year. Any trophy, I'm not fussy. I've waited long enough. Anything. Just give me a fucking trophy to celebrate YOU FUCKING USELESS BASTARDS...*ahem* Yes. Trophy. We win. Ug.



My predictions:

Arsenal will win the league again. Chelsea second again. Man U 3rd. Same as last season.

Newly promoted Crystal Palace and Norwich City are relegation fodder to be joined by Portsmouth.

I think Pompey will stay up, Yakubu will prove to be one of the surprises of the Premiership this season (interesting sidenote he was 5th in Fantasy scoring last year, behind Henry, Shearer, Saha and Forsell). I expect all of the promoted teams to get relegated, especially Palace, I wanted the Hammers in there.

If the current Arsenal team stays the way it is, I expect them to win , but should Vieira leave, Arsenal's season goes with him.

Chelsea have ridiculous depth and talent so I expect them to be runners up at least.

Toon to get 3rd. With Kluivert onboard surely it's possible.

My crystal ball tells me that Hammarby will win the league this coming season with Djurgarden finishing as runners up.

Djurgarden will struggle to make it through the group stages of the Champions league but Hammarby will do well in the UEFA cup, I predict they will make it to the last 16 teams. Malmo will finish third.

My crystal ball is fading... it's going... it's gone.

Arse winning and the rest interchangeable, with Chelsea at an advantage if Mourinho manages to get the squad playing cohesively

Hmm...Djurgården just fired their coach so I don't see them doing very well and Malmö just moved up to lead the league

Being from Malmö myself all I can say is Di Blåe Di Blåe!

3rd - Newcastle (Kluivert + Shearer = a lot of goals)

4th - Liverpool (Barros, Cisse, Owen up front, says it all basicly)

5th - Manchester United (they will strugle without Heinze and Rio in the first few games)

6th - Middlesbrough (I like their midfield and Viduka and Jimmy up front, not to mention Reiziger as their RB, Reiziger was voted in the XI of the La Liga last season)

I'm quite surprised by van Persie's performances, his 4 goals in 3 friendlies is pretty impressive. Especially when you consider his goals are piledrivers from the left wing.

I have a feeling he will displace Pires as a starter in a couple of seasons.

Middlesbrough? You'd think they would've learned some lessons from the Alan Boksic debacle.

Viduka and Hasselbaink seems like a formidable force on paper but, as the great man himself once said, "football isn't played on paper."

Middlesbrough's main problem last year was their scoring ability, with Hasselbaink and Viduka they now have 2 proven EPL goalscorers. Things are only going to look better for them, especially with creative midfielders like Zenden, Mendieta & Juninho feeding the two strikers.

I think either of the North East teams, Newcastle or Boro will win a trophy as both made good buys. I cant see the title yet. Although would like Newcastle to win something as years of nothing is getting a bit much what with the cash spent. Yet still feel it will be almost but not quite, hope im wrong though.

Chelsea bought a lot of new players, but will they play as a team? Prob'ly not... They'll get far but i think they'll fail just before the finish line Except when the coach can make them work as a team, but this will be hard for his first year there I guess.

So Arsenal first, Chelsea 2nd. Newcastle, Man U & Liverpool will have a close battle for the 3rd position. But Newcastle will win the battle prob'ly...

You know you want to:

Premier League Predictions Game 2004-2005.

The rules:

- Predict the scores in the weekend premier league games.

- 3 points awarded for predicting the correct score.

- 1 point awarded for predicting the correct result. (e.g. You predict "Tottenham 0, Liverpool 3" and the actual score is "Tottenham 1, Liverpool 2" then you will be awarded 1 point)

- Entries must be posted before the first game of the day kicks off.

- Only Saturday and Sunday matches will be included except, maybe, during the Christmas period, depending on the fixtures.

- Egg chasers are welcome.

(in future I will strive to post the fixtures on the preceeding Monday)

I'd like to change some of my season predictions now:

Because Vieira is staying, Arsenal are now going to chase the Treble, and possibly get a double at least.

Because Owen is leaving Liverpool and Cisse turns out to be a bust, the Liverpool board is going to have to grovel to Diouf and partner him with Baros to have even a fighting chance of scoring goals.

Steady on there matey, I'd expect talk like that from a Manchester United fan - and we all know what they are.

If we're changing our predictions, I'm going to tip my team - The Toon - for second in the league. It may take a few games before the real Newcastle United are fully fit, but when we are I reckon we've got a team that could challenge anyone.

The double is seriously doable, if not for a single Man U goal, it would have been one for the gunners.

Honestly, the Premierleague doesn't have many true contenders (Arsenal, Man U, Chelski, Newcaste, Liverpool.. that's about it), sure you have the occacional upset in the FA cup, but the way it has run over the last few seasons, the good teams eliminate each other and end up playing lower division teams in the previous rounds.

Of course I'd be happy with any silverware, but the current Arsenal team is the one of the best ones they've ever had.

I reckon Arsenal will triumph. Im hoping that Palace will also stay up. I have a good mate who was born with 4 knee caps and is a mad Palace supporter. A couple of years ago he had two removed. They now live in a jar in the fridge and are called 'Crystal' and 'Palace'. Despite being born like this he was a gun player and actually had trials with Palace and Notts County a couple of years ago.

May as well do the scoring:

Here's what happened:

Tottenham 1-1 Liverpool

Aston Villa 2-0 Southampton

Blackburn 1-1 West Brom

Bolton 4-1 Charlton

Man City 1-1 Fulham

Norwich 1-1 Crystal Palace

Portsmouth 1-1 Birmingham

Middlesbrough 2-2 Newcastle

Everton 1-4 Arsenal

Chelsea 1-0 Man Utd

Which means according to my calculations:

Unfortunately there is no prize this week.

Not even Jimmy Hasselbaink's hand of god can dampen my enthusiasm for the coming season.

If we'd had two proper centre backs on the field, I don't think either of the Smoggies' goals would've gone in.
