They reckon the bookies are rarely wrong, so after a bit of research, this is how it will be apparently -

1 Man Utd
2 Chelsea
3 Man City
4 Arsenal
5 Liverpool
6 Spurs
7 Everton
8 Villa
9 Sunderland
10 Fulham
11 Stoke
12 Newcastle
13 Bolton
14 QPR
15 West Brom
16 Blackburn
17 Wolves
18 Wigan
19 Norwich
20 Swansea

The one thing that jumped out at me was their optimism for QPR.

Where did you get that?

[noodles_]

Move QPR down a few places, Olbion up a few places and Villa up to 1st and it's about how id have it too.

[paulcomben]

Phew what a relief.  I was thinking that with a tiny squad, both creative players sold and a relegation expert at the helm, it would be a lot more tense than that.  I can take the year off now.  Is rugby a good game to watch...?!

[TheSandman]

That's close to how I see it panning out. With a few shrewd buys we might be up a bit and I expect QPR (who have yet to really sign a decent player that befits their wealth) and Sunderland (whose activity has valued quantity far over quality) down a bit.

[TimTheVillain]

Right, let's fast forward to 2012-3 then, next season is sorted

[cdbearsfan]

The "Handicap" list is a reasonable idea of where bookies think teams will finish.

Looking at the odds on Oddschecker... I'm guessing that's where the OP table comes from.

As usual, there's not a lot of point in reading too much into it before we have some idea of which players will be coming and going.

I'm fairly confident we'll finish somewhere between Man U and Swansea though.

[Legion]

Currently, I'd quite happily settle for that.

If you check out the title winning odds from the major betting firms from fav to outsider ie Man U 7/4 fav, Liverpool 10/1, Spurs 50/1, Everton 250/1, Villa 300/1, Sunderland 1000/1, Swansea 5000/1 it's basically them saying who will finish in what position. It's only the middling teams like Sunderland, Fulham, Newcastle, Bolton, Stoke and QPR(?) who they can't really seperate.

[pauliewalnuts]

It'll only really reflect what the bookies think when the market is opened, after money has started being punted on it, it will start to reflect what the punters think.

[Toronto Villa]

That and a cup victory will be a good season given our starting point. I really wish qualifying for the Europa wasn't looked upon as a burden as opposed to an achievement. UEFA has wrecked that competition.

[woody4866]

That`s a bit early yet until all the buying and selling has been sorted especially Arsenal being 4th and Everton 7th
Still I`d take 8th when all is said and done at the moment

[King of the Nørth]

 To be honest Im quite suprised at how QPR arent letting Warnock spend any cash considering their owners are supposed to be richer than ours. Not sure if they'll even stay up tbh. After a very unpredictable last season I think this season will be quite the opposite with the 3 clubs promoted going down, Utd, Chelsea & Etihad Fc guarenteed 3 of the 4 CL spots. Only possible suprises for me could be Arsenal missing out on CL spot and Everton dropping down a few places, maybe even below 10th. Regarding Villa I'd be happy with 7th although wouldnt consider it a 'successful' season.

[Lambert and Payne]

I don't think olbeyun will have a good season tbh! Think there gunna struggle to be honest. I also think Wanky will have a decent season unfortunately. Other than that it looks about right.

[Damo70]

It is very early obviously. They seem to assume QPR will spend money but they didn't exactly throw shedloads at getting promoted. They also seem to have put Everton above us because of the players we've sold whilst not taking into account that that gives us room for manoeuvre to bring players in that they don't appear to have.
