Premier League Season 2013/14
 

What's everyone's thoughts?

I'm thinking Chelsea Champions (especially when/if Rooney joins them), Man City second, Arsenal third (providing they get Suarez, if they don't then Man Utd).

As for relegation, Palace, Hull and either Cardiff or Norwich.

As for The Tremendous Toon - top 10, probably between 8th and 10th.

Top scorer - you have to fancy Van Persie again, but I think Loic Remy (if he stays out of jail) will be in the top 5.

Thoughts?

Re: Premier League Season 2013/14
 

Kinda agree that Chelski will get the top spot mainly due to Mourhinho. Then he'll fall out with the Russian crook again and be off elsewhere.

Doubt United will be lower than 3rd and most probably second. I doubt they'll let Rooney leave to a club in the EPL so if he does go it will be to somewhere in Europe. If not he'll stay. I can also see someone coming in before the window shuts. Maybe Fellaini, maybe somone else. Also, its was interesting that Valencia has changed back to No. 25 from the No. 7 he had last season. Also the young chap with the weird surname is quality, as is Zaha.

City will as usual have the issue of their team gelling. With so many new additions it will take time to settle. Also, I think a lot depends on if Silva has a decent season. He's undoubtedly quality but he was a shadow of his former self last season. I'n also not so sure using Dzeco as the main target main will work as they are planning. He's a bit easy to read and contain.

I can't see Le Arse getting Suarez, and even if they did he will be banned for the first 5 games and then he's probably odds on to be banned again before the end of the season. If Bale stays then I think they will pip Arsenal.

Liverpool have bought well and the looks of the new boys in the pre season games must is good. As such, think they'll pip Everton this season, who if Fellani goes could be in a bit of trouble.

So, I am going:

Chelsea
United
City
Spurs
Arsenal
Liverpool
Everton

Weirdly similar.

I wonder what odds you can get on that, must be a couple of hundred to one.

Palace

Re: Premier League Season 2013/14
 

You can get odds on most combinations relatively easily on betfair (I put quite a few combinations on last week) although I'm not sure if you can combine top 4 and relegation 3 in one bet.

Re: Premier League Season 2013/14
 

Hope Palace set a new low points total

Has everyone got the Al Jazeera sports package now? Upgraded my package through du today but they only offer 2 HD channels but they should have 6. Anyone know a way around it?

Re: Premier League Season 2013/14
 

New category suggestion:

"Teams Whose Final Finishing Position Is Completely Impossible To Predict"?

[you know - the 'they'll either get in the Europa League or get relegated' team)

I'll nominate Fulham.

Re: Premier League Season 2013/14
 

Norwich for me. They have made some solid signings but it could all go bad for them.

Re: Premier League Season 2013/14
 

Meow won't like you for that

Re: Premier League Season 2013/14
 

Why? I'm saying they might get into the Europa League (again)............

............ or they might get relegated.

I don't know. Ditto Stoke City.

Re: Premier League Season 2013/14
 

Got to be Sunderland. Signed 10 or so most unheard of players, and Di Canio is a complete loose canon. I think relegation is the most likely outcome, but he might pull something unexpected out of the bag.

Re: Premier League Season 2013/14
 

Liverpool look pretty decent!

I miss AD Sports though.

Re: Premier League Season 2013/14
 

Agree. Thought AD done a good job. Having trouble here with HD6 channel!

Re: Premier League Season 2013/14
 

AD was great. Cheaper, all in HD and English commentary. Who are you with to get HD 6. Du only offered HD1 and HD2 when I did it.

Re: Premier League Season 2013/14
 

I truly despise scousers and all liverpool fans, only team i want to see fail, id even support Sunderland over them.

And what are Villa playing in? Godawful strip.

Re: Premier League Season 2013/14
 

I can't see them selling many of that shirt.

Re: Premier League Season 2013/14
 

Erm, you know about my Arsenal coming third prediction? They're woeful against Villa.

Re: Premier League Season 2013/14
 

Never a penalty though.

Re: Premier League Season 2013/14
 

They're dire. 1:3 at home?

Re: Premier League Season 2013/14
 

Wenger first manager to be sacked??

Re: Premier League Season 2013/14
 

Pardew us the bookies favourite.

No way Wenger will be sacked.

Rooney not starting, come on you Welsh! (I rarely say that).

Re: Premier League Season 2013/14
 

And is it just me or has Kevin Keegan got WAY too much make-up on?

Re: Premier League Season 2013/14
 

quite like the villa kits this year...even the away

Re: Premier League Season 2013/14
 

Direct from Nilesat.
HD6 is English for main matches. along with +10

Re: Premier League Season 2013/14
 

Can you just use your du box or do you need a new box?

Re: Premier League Season 2013/14
 

Once again an almighty ****ing mess.

Gray and Keys clearly didn't really know what they were doing, which was surprising. The HD channels are all in English according to my options but blasting out the usual Arabic bollocks. Non-HD football on Jazeera is barely worth watching and then the United v Swansea game had the commentary coming before the picture (by 4secs) which was pretty annoying.

Whole thing was hopefully just first day nerves / glitches. They definitely need to stop telling me that I can change it to English though, because I have and it doesn't ****ing work.

Re: Premier League Season 2013/14
 

It wasn't the best. Lets just hope its teething problems and they get it sorted for next week.

Re: Premier League Season 2013/14
 

I quite liked the set up.... The graphic showing the penalty takers last 5 pens was a nice touch as was the cards being displayed above the score.

Either way, Liverpool were mighty lucky, Arsenal can have no complaints about the second 'penalty' after getting a free pass when their keeper stayed on the field for the first pen. He should have walked. Benteke is a machine! As for United..... I was worrying after the first 20 minutes as it was uber dull, however, RVP's first goal was awesome!

Re: Premier League Season 2013/14
 

Van Pizzle is you're chance of winning the league, if he stays fit, you've got a chance.

Welbeck is beyond me, he has already beaten his goal tally in the league for all of last season...in the first game...how is he still there?

Re: Premier League Season 2013/14
 

I think there will be some business done before the window slams shut so I am not too worried...... yet! Also Zaha looks good (if a little raw), as does Adnan Ljkwlxzrj or whatever his name is.

I agree with you on Welbeck, I have never really been a fan. He just looks awkward, like a new foal trying to take it's first steps. The funny thing is that a lot of the pundits rate him.... :confused: Also how he seems to keep Hernandez out of the team when the Little Pea is a natural goal scorer is beyond me.

Re: Premier League Season 2013/14
 

I stopped a guy in the street and said, "Can you help me? I'm looking for a rubbish tip."

He said, "Arsenal to win the Premiership."
