2pints-mate 0 Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Fairly easy start for Chelsea, 3rd game vs Spurs. Forecasts: CHELSEA to win. Liverpool to declare it will be "their year", but that will crumble like a good apple crumble. A lot of transfer window to go, so lets see what happens! Link to post Share on other sites
rach 1 Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 United vs Newcastle in mid August - might try to go to that one Link to post Share on other sites
thursday 1 Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 ManU wins again Liverpool runs out of steam mid-season Chelsea loses bottle, cops it at the death Arse n al runs out of steam late season Yeah, a replay of this season. Link to post Share on other sites

pie-eater 207 Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Damn, Wigans first game is away so I won't be able to catch them. I was hoping to see the team with Ronaldo (Wigan are going to "swoop" for him soon, you see) Link to post Share on other sites

bobby12 0 Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 OK we need to get all our predictions down and then at the end of the season we can have a 'virtual awards ceremony' for the people with the most accurate predictions. My Predictions -------------- 1: Chelsea 2: Man Utd 3: Liverpool 4: Arsenal Ronaldo goes to Real Madrid, Man Utd can't replace him. Chelsea buy a big name like Deco, Terry makes good. Liverpool end strong after a weak start. Link to post Share on other sites
2pints-mate 0 Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Other than Chelsea taking the title, of course, perhaps a more realistic idea of where everyone stands will be mid-August when most of the transfer news is out. Right now a lot of ???. Stuff like Ronaldo moving on or not will be huge for teams. Link to post Share on other sites
