August 12, 20214 yr Season starts tomorrow. Predictions? City, till someone knocks them off Chelsea Liverpool United Leicester Tottenham Relegated: Watford Brentford Burnley
August 12, 20214 yr I like all of the top 4 almost equally to win depending on injuries. Maybe Chelsea and City a smidge above the rest because we maybe have fewer ?s but some bad breaks or poor stretches and Pool or ManU could be right there. Pool is definitely lurking and may feel like they have something to prove - but they also might have the worst case scenario of that top 4. Not that I'd be against a manure implosion. Also - even coming off the CL Chelsea needs to prove they can contend domestically - despite being probably the best squad on paper and form wise the past few months. Also... we get one good match week 1? C'mon... And I guess, fuck it, I'll do my prediction and I'll be that guy: ManU Chelsea City Pool Leicester Someone besides Spurs Never cared much for guessing relegation. Edited August 12, 20214 yr by ztejas

I agreed with him before I saw the lines about 20 mins later I just don't get the fun in making the Vegas predictions. Yes, I'm well aware City is probably the favorites again. It's not like we're putting money down. Maybe you're just salty I have you outside the top 6.
August 12, 20214 yr 4 minutes ago, midtown said: Mdmost's prediction is the exact Vegas betting lines. I noticed that. City is a big favorite to repeat. If Kane goes to City, it's over before it begins. If he doesn't, there could be a multiteam title race although Chelsea is best equipped to challenge. Lukaku's problem at United was poor service and that won't be a problem at Chelsea if Tuchel plays the right forwards. Liverpool is getting long in the tooth and this is also an AFCON season. United isn't winning a title without a new DM and that appears to be unlikely. Agree that the top-4 should remain the same as last year unless someone gets hit with major injuries. On paper, there is a significant gulf between the Top 4 and the rest.

August 12, 20214 yr 5 minutes ago, midtown said: Hell I'm with you considering the shit Spurs are rolling out I was just ribbing you. Spurs are my least least favorite of the big 6 for sure. Just checked my book - City at -175 seems crazy. Chelsea at +450 seems juicy. We dropped so many horrible points with Lampard in charge. Although I guess we did kind of match up perfectly with them in those last 2 contests. Not like we're playing each other 38 times.
August 12, 20214 yr I don't pay attention to betting lines nor did I consult them in my predictions. City is City. They're the top until someone proves they can knock them off in a long season. Chelsea seem poised to take the next step. Liverpool should improve assuming injuries don't cause a repeat of last year. But they didn't do anything to eclipse City or Chelsea with a window of only buying one defender. United are going to be good but not close enough to make a run at the title. Just not sold on Ole yet. Leicester have made some good moves but they still have Rodgers as manager which is good for some head scratching losses. 6th is interchangeable, frankly. Leeds, Spurs, Everton, West Ham.

They are going to roll a dump truck up soon enough with 150 Million pounds and Spurs are going to sell. I'm sure this whole song/dance going on now is fine, but we know they are going to raise their offer. I figure early next week.

August 12, 20214 yr Hey thought it was relevant - both EPL teams - just wondering if there's a potential play by the keeper here? Obviously it's an incredible ball played through that takes a nice bounce but is there some way the GK keeps it out of the back?

August 12, 20214 yr Anyone taking City -175 is a dullard and that really has nothing to do with any direction I lean. 50/50 sounds about right for them. I just don't think Pool, for example, is 7 less times likely to win than City. Edited August 12, 20214 yr by ztejas My phone fucking sucks
