Exactly Chelsea have so much money that even their subs cost like ?20+

?20+? Even I could make their bench!

Here's my early predictions:

Barclays Premiership season 2006/2007 predictions

Winners: Manchester United FC

UEFA Champions League qualifiers: Manchester United FC, Chelsea FC, Liverpool FC, Arsenal FC

UEFA Cup qualifiers: Newcastle United FC, Tottenham Hotspur FC

Relegated: Reading FC, Sheffield United FC, winner of Coca Cola Football League Championship play-offs

Norwich to get promoted from the Championship as well? I cant really see Man United win the league though.

Well there's a suprise? Why not? We finished 2nd and played just aswell as Chelsea for the most part. If anyone other than them does, its going to be United.

A team on a downward spiral. With horseface going I cant even see where the goals will come from.

I would say we have had our downward spiral by not winning the league and generally playing poor the two seasons before this. We are on the rise now. The goals? Im sorry, but did Rooney and Saha not get goals? Not to mention the hottest prospect in England, Rossi coming through! Plus if Nistelrooy goes, we will buy another striker.

Rooney doesnt score that many! Saha scores in patches, a good patch for a month then another year of a bad patch. Rossi Who?

 

[JamesyJames3]

Not a bad record for a player who scores in patches - Appearances: 28 (17 from bench) Goals: 15

Thats his Prem record for this season. Eleven starts 15 goals. Patchy, I can see....

Rooney - 16 Prem goals this season.

Now, you are saying you cant see where goals are going to come, so we wont win the league? Right, so where will Liverpool finish in your opinion? Because their strikers struggle to get 20 between them!

Rossi who? You will know his name when he bags a hat-trick in front of the Kop and kisses the crest!

 

[hassan]

No offense but i think Ste is right about the goals

 

[sachin]

Well i don't think Man U will have as big a problem as Ste says.They are a quality club,and will find someone to replace Horseface or just move forward with what they've got.

Yes there is a problem up front but with a quality striker and a winger I think we can push Chelsea all the way.

 

[aussie1st]

Arsenal will be on a high after making it to the Champions league final and going so close to winning it. With a new found striker in Theo Walcott, Arsenal should be back to their best and back on top of England

 

[sachin]

Not when you give three goals away to West Ham.You were extremely lucky.More consistancy is needed for Liverpool before i'd consider them.

I think tiredness was partly at fault for that after 63 games in the season! Consistancy can be seen win two runs of 10+ wins in a row during the season.

 

[sachin]

I'll give you that,but i don't know......Liverpool winning the Prem over the backs of a Man U,Cheatski,and resurgent Arsenal seems unlikely.Maybe its more of a feeling than anyone else.

 

[gold639]

Liverpool just don't have the squad to be consistent the whole season and win the league. That's why they can only win cups.
