Premier League 2009-2010 prediction thread!!

[El Kabong]

I think people were very early to jump to the conclusion that Liverpool would be the team to fall out of the top 4. The worst thing about the Alonso transfer is not that we lost a quality player (which we did), but it gives Rafa more opportunities to tinker with the lineup which is so frustrating I can't even begin to tell you.

Sure United beat the Spurs this go 'round, but it's a long season and they'll eventually get their stuff together, nice to see Robbie Keane is still off form. Also Chelsea is constantly having to come from behind to win games which can't be good if it continues, eventually they will hit a wall.

I agree people are to soon to judge, i always wait till around 12/15 games in before even looking at the table to get a picture of what will be happening come may, Liverpool will be there I think they will just come up short but there a great team and have some world class players, im worried for Pompey and im so annoyed with myself as i posted in this thread before the season started pompey to go down 6/1!!!!!!!!!!!!! Didnt have any money on it, never mind but Pompey are fucked imo, Hart has bought garbage his latest signing a player called Danny Webber who was turned down by a host of championship clubs including Blackpool and Docaster.

Chelsea look strong, the gits.

Here's hoping and if the transfer ban is not rescinded then they will pay for it later on in the season.

Especially if they suffer an injury and aren't able to purchase the contract of a player to fill in. E.G. Lampard or Essien goes down, who covers for them

I'm waiting to see how they cope in Jan when the ACoN is on. Be really interesting if they lost Anelka to injury during that period. Who would they play upfront?

Gonna be fun to see

no doubts chelsea are already desperately trying to persuade the likes of drogba to fake an injury forcing him to miss out on the tournament yet make a miraculous recovery a week later!!

oh well....


Utd-city, chelsea-spurs this weekend - should be fun

[ono]

I'm not looking forward to Sunday at all to be honest.

No Adebayor, Robinho, Tevez, Santa Cruz or Kompany for definite and doubts over Richards and Ireland.

----------------------------Given---------------------------

Richards---------Toure--------------Lescott----------Bridge

--------------------------De Jong--------------------------

SWP-----------------Barry-----Ireland ---------------Petrov-

--------------------------Bellamy-----------------------------



Bellamy isn't going to be able to hold the ball up and it's just going to keep coming back. Our attacking players aren't going to gamble on him winning the ball (like they do with Ade) so he's going to get isolated. I can see us getting a dicking to be honest. Would have been confident of a win or at least a draw with a full strength team out or even with Adebayor playing, but without that big man upfront, we're going to struggle imo.

THATS WHY WERE CHAMPIONS!!!!

What a game, first half City controlled it pretty well second half we battered them but some of our individual mistakes nearly cost us.

Ben Foster is shite sooner we get the German kid in as long term cover for Van Der Sar the better, good shot stopper Foster but for me makes to many mistakes and doesnt have the strong mentallity.

Just got back from the Blackburn game and the pub afterwards. Was a decent performance by the blues.

As for United-City me AND every other Evertonian are made up. We were clapping in the ground Michael Owen of all people hahahaha get in. So glad Man City got screwed over the stoppage time. Every football fan hates City, FACT!

Just nice to see Hughes the cock nearly crying in the end, it's a shame Bellamy is a woman beating little shit cos he played well today, but as usual the little twat wasnt happy with that he had to hit a fan who ran onto the pitch, but he twated him in the face after a bunch of stewards had his arms pinned back, hard man Bellamy strikes again ID LOVE TO STAMP ON HIS FUCKING HEAD!!!

[El Kabong]

And he played like shit for Liverpool (of course he plays like shit where ever he goes, but that's beside the case)....Bellamy is a lousy SOB

Er... no. He played excellently while at Blackburn under Mark Hughes. He was sensational during his first few years at Newcastle under Sir Bobby Robson RIP, up until Souness took over. He was also very effective in his short spells at West Ham & Celtic. He may be a cunt of the highest order, but it doesn't mean that he hasn't been good. It's only really been at Liverpool & Coventry that he didn't produce. Still he's a prick, hope he gets a nice long ban. Also hope Man Utd get a MAJOR fine for their fans throwing a coin at Tevez that hit Garrido in the face.

I agree on his day Bellamy is a very good player, but he is a horrible little man, and the coin incident was a disgrace I sort of felt for Tevez as I feel he would of got a good recpetion if he didnt say all the disrespectful things about Sir Alex in the press, but I thought Tevez condcuted himself very well and even clapped the fans even though he was getting boooed, I dont blame him for leaving as United showed a lack of respect and left it till very late to offer him a contract, but I suppose the way he publicly disrespected the manager he was always making a rod for his own back.

Whoever threw the coin should have a life ban another cowardly act.
