Faustian Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 My predictions....going on current line ups, so subject to change... Chelsea to win the PL. Liverpool second (unless they sell a few good players, which looks likely), Man U third (again, unless they buy a few good players, which is looking unlikely), Arsenal fourth.

The_Munchmaster Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 Too early to make any predictions as none of the teams have made a move in the transfer market. Man U third, I like that but highly unlikely. Arsenal fourth, no way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mekong Posted June 17, 2009 Report Share Posted June 17, 2009 Only glanced at the fixture list and it seems that its looking favourable to United over the congestion periods, I need to compare it to ECL dates to comment. Too busy working my butt off to spend much time online socially at present, and that pleases my bank manager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too busy working my butt off to spend much time online socially at present, and that pleases my bank manager Rafael Benitez looks set to once again be thumbing through his diary after the announcement of the fixtures for the 2009/10 Barclays Premier League campaign landed Liverpool with some tough scheduling after European games. The Reds boss was embroiled in a row with Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson last season, during which he claimed Liverpool were "handicapped" by the timings of matches - even quipping his rival should perhaps "organise the fixtures and everything in his office and send them to us". The debate for the campaign ahead is likely to once again centre on which of the 'Big Four' teams play at home and which have to travel following potentially testing midweek European ties. Arsenal, who finished fourth, have already had their Premier League match against Bolton on August 18 postponed because of the need to go through a two-legged qualifier. It is, though, Liverpool who could perhaps feel somewhat aggrieved at the way some of their domestic games have been allocated. After the opening games of the new Champions League season on September 15/16, the Reds are set to travel to West Ham, while all of their rivals will be at home - United involved in the Manchester derby which could well be switched to a Sunday kick-off giving the league champions more recovery time. On Matchday Two, Liverpool head to title rivals Chelsea, while again United and Arsenal are also at home. Benitez and Ferguson will go head to head at Anfield on October 24, which follows the third of the opening Champions League group games. Chelsea are at home, while the Gunners, should they qualify, would face only a short trip across London to West Ham. Not until after Matchday Four do the Reds appear to get a break, when they host promoted Birmingham, while United travel to Stamford Bridge that weekend and Arsenal are at Wolves.

Steve Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 Have a strange feeling its going to be Liverpool's year. They were runner up and only lost 2 games. They drew a lot of games early but the second half of the season they were finding a way to win against the teams outside the top 4 which really is where the title is won. The top 4 will take points from each other. Man yoo's issues are obvious. Chelsea have a new manager, new to the club, league and culture. Arsenal have the farthest to go seemingly (more about us later). Liverpool impressed me in the 2nd half of the season, the game at OT sold them to me on their being contenders this season. Even their one huge loss (the 1st leg in the CL to Chelsea) was countered with a great 2nd leg. Most clubs would have written off the tie but they made a game of it. It showed a lot of character. So next season I see Liverpool winning the EPL finally. Second? Hmm, Arsenal seem the farthest away admittedly but if a couple things happen I think we'll shock a few folks. They are big IFs. IF the new defender Vermaelen comes good. IF we get Melo or any quality defensive center mid IF Eduardo, Arshavin, Fabregas and Nasri stay relatively injurty free. If they do, who ever is up front, Adebayor, van Persie, Bendnter will see enough of the ball but also won't be needed to contribute as much. Eduardo and Arshavin are pure finishers. We need both I think. Throw in Walcott and possibly Rosicky and a few kids coming through and I think we'll make some noise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
