I reckon Man City could suprise quite a lot of ppl, the new takeover and the new manager Claudio Ranieri looks certain to come may have a big impact on Man City. Maybe Aston Villa could also raise a few eyebrows
Ive got a feeling Sunderland are gonna surprise alot of people by actually staying in the Premiership.
Sunderland will make a big impact. Being lead by roy keane must be a huge boost for them. I hope they do well and pull a reading.
Ranieri's gone to Juventus theyve no manager no chairman and their best players are leaving. West Ham will do a lot better next season.
I think Newcastle will do alot better with Allardyce as there manager. west ham will finish in mid - table
It's too hard to tell yet, there's the obvious ones that will do well like Pompey and Tottenham but after this season they're shoe-ins for the 5-7 spots but there's always the surprise package, like Bolton and Reading, but IMO neither of them will be up there at the end of this season.
i hate to say it but i think tottenham will finish at least in the 4.. i reckon sunderland will do alright.. i think they will have confidence after getting into the premiershp and take it with them throughout the season.. we'll have to wait for some more signings too see what line-ups other teams have..
Spurs for me, i think they will finally break their duck and finish in the top 4, they have an awsome manager in martin jol. and they are very ambitious with their signings, if they can keep hold of berbatov then watch this space.
O'neill should have a good transfer kitty to spend, so it will be interesting to see who he buys and how they do. Carew was an awsome signing for Villa, expect some more like that.
I think Newcastle should surprise. Big Sam will make a Big impact. He has already made two intelligient signings in Viduka and Barton. The Toon army are usually used to flair football but they hae a very weak back line and i think Sam has spotted that out by releasing Bramble. As long as they can sign a good defender or 2, they can do well next season. They should also try to keep Owen, and hopefully they will have less injuries next term.
I think next term, Sunderland will suprise a few faces, by surviving in the prem, and finishing in the top half, like the used to do when they had a budget to spend, not like our last two terms in their with big fat murray, they have quinn and keane now to ead them, so that'll give them a boost of morale, alos i think derby will surpise a few teams and fans aswell, by staying in the prem, after their season, from relagation canadates to prem, they'll be good, and also i think villa, Portsmouth or Newcatsle could have a possible charge on europe next season, who knows, just wait and see.
<div class="quote_poster">22Ste22 Wrote</div><div class="quote_post">I think Newcastle will do alot better with Allardyce as there manager. west ham will finish in mid - table</div> It depends what kind of football does Newcastle play. Are they going to play attractive football or very direct football? If they play very direct Sam has to go change all the players, nutritionist, staff and bla blah
I believe reading will have another good crack at the top 8. Sunderland will also give the top teams a run for their money. (Roy Keane has made Sunderlan, he is a naturally tallented manager).
Sunderland with Roy Keane at the helm and with the addition of some good signings i can see them doing a Reading this season.
Well, I HOPE Newcastle does better this season... considering they were facing relegation at one point last season. I'd like to see one of the promoted teams pull off what nobody expects... like what Reading did last season.
