    This game is why I hate English teams that park the bus against good teams. What's the point of playing for 0-0?

    Going to enjoy Southampton this year I think, already kind of hoping they stay up.

    I'm pretty torn on who to relegate. After the 1st week, the league seems exponentially better top to bottom than in recent years. I'm afraid Hughton won't be able to work his magic with Norwich. Who the hell is supposed to score for them? Holt can't keep up his pace and I don't think he wants to be there anymore. QPR could be anywhere from relegation fodder to a 11-12 placed team. Predictions were tough this year.

    stoke is going to struggle mightily too

    Stoke's season hinges on Michael Kightly's ankles. Dude could hold down on a top 6 team if he could stay healthy.

    Late but here goes:

    1- City
    2- Newcastle
    3- United
    4- Chelsea

    16- West Ham

    18-Stoke
    19-Wigan
    20-QPR

    Somewhat out there prediction, Last manager to get sacked: Big Sam. Although he keeps West Ham up, due to Swindon Town going from League 2 to the Championship in two years the Davids bring in [​IMG]

    I agree. I think we max out at 4th, and it will be very tough to get there with Europa

    Norwich has a belly full of fire and a heart of sterling, I expect a top 16 finish.

    Chelsea 1-1 Reading after Hazard drew a penalty which Lampard converted, and a hell of a header from Pogrebnyak.

    Aaaaaand Special Petr strikes to make it 2-1 Reading.

    It was a great goal, not a whole lot you can do, defender should have made a better effort at clearing it though.
