Anybody else with predictions on title winners/relegation??
honestly think Liverpool can win the league. Scholari is the reason for this. they just arent as "hard" as previous seasons. How many points have they dropped at the Bridge this season sompared to last? and the talent they have is impressive but having the likes of Malouda,Kalou,Anelka,Deco trying to dig you out of tough,horrible situations is not going to work.
United have Japan to come and could be some way off when they come back and Arsenal area joke this season.
West Brom are awful and will go down,hopefully followed by Bolton and maybe Fulham althought Johnson could be the difference there. the man knows how to score (and get penos)
None of the top teams impressing as yet. Liverpool being held at home by Hull and Benitez talks up the result :confused: Blackburn the surpise package in the bottom three but should get out of it.
Anyone's title and no dead certs for relegation yet.
I have to say after being at the Sunderland game on Saturday, West Brom look doomed. Their centre halves were abysmal, they concede too many easy goals to have any chance of staying upQuote:

Actually, I forgot about Tony Adams. Good chance he could go soon unless the results pick up.Quote:

They will get stronger with the money alright but there still away with the birds if they think they can break into a champions league spot within next two seasons.

Good win today over Man City who drop in to the bottom three. Any one of about 12 teams could be relegated.Quote:

Liverpool have no chance of finishing 1st. We are playing truely pathetic football. The wheels will come off soon enough. Funny thing is that most of the fans are begging for Benitez to get a new contract. By fans I mean internet based fans. Coming out of the Emirates yesterday, most were not, lets just say. Come the end of the season they will be calling for his head. I have no doubt about that. We have no money, unlike the likes of Villa who are looking great on all fronts. (on and off the field)Quote:

Rafa is a very clever operator, he knows what to say and when to say it.
With referees routinely reducing your opponents by one each game, yopu have a chanceQuote:

Newcastle were woeful. They need a new back four and two decent central MF players. Felt very sorry for Given today.Quote:
