Where will we finish?

[Chris Smith]

I think Spurs are in trouble. No points, haven't even scored a goal yet and Modric wants out. They could be bottom by 10.00 p.m.

I know it is very early days but outside of the obvious I haven't seen anything to be overly worried about and of those Arsenal look to be in disarray at present.

I've also not seen too much from Liverpool yet.  The beat an Arsenal side lacking in confidence, but only drew at home to Sunderland.

It's early days and the league needs to settle down before we really see what most sides will be like, so nows the time to put some points on the board given our relatively easy start.

Liverpool will improve as the season goes on.

We won't finish top 6 but I don't see why we can't challenge anyone outside of that group.

[Can Gana Be Bettered!?!?]

Liverpool bought a bunch of good players, but not Champions League qualifying position players (bar Suarez). I'm getting fed up with the amount of media attention they are getting.

[Concrete John]

Liverpool will improve as the season goes on.

I think most teams will. 

Suarez looks like the only signing they've made who would get into a top 4 side, so I think they'll be very far away form Man Utd, Man City (best team I've seen so far!) and Chelsea.  The pisser of it is they might still get 4th if Arsenal continue to flounder, but if they do I'd predict it'll be on less points than is usual for 4th.

Voted 16th.

The defence is rank bad, and minus the best performer last season (Walker), and possibly minus our best central defender (Cuellar). I have no faith in Eck performing miracles and getting them to play well, indeed Dunne is another year older and will possibly decline still further.

The midfield is far and away weaker than last year, having been shorn of its two best players. We have a good signing in N'Zogbia, but that is a very poor trade for Young AND Downing. Petrov is not going to miraculously become a 90 minute player, and beyond him we have no one that can tackle in he squad. EWe will miss Coker this year. Delph seems very injury prone. Makoun may do better, but needs to as he was not great last season. I fully expect Ireland to comtinue to be poor, based on his pre season form being no better than last season. Albrighton looks jaded, though I would hope he will improve.

Up front we have Bent, best hope he does not get injured as without him we could be in the relegation mix again.


Can't see past a bloody awful season tbh.

And the Nostradamus Award for 2011-2012 goes to...

I voted 12th for the record.

[Legion]

I think I went for 8th.

Is there a reason I'm unable to see the results when I click the 'view results' button?  It just takes me back to the poll...

[Legion]

Did you vote?

[Legion]

Try it now.

[Legion]

Ah. Poll had no deadline. I've just set it at 1 day to close. I'll see if I can make it less.

[Legion]

Nope. Can't. Sorry. 1 day it is.

[enigma]

I went for a somewhat optimistic 11th.

[Legion]

Ah. Senior moment. Sorted. You should be able to view the results straight away now.

[QBVILLA]

The consensus already is that we are in the same group as Bolton, Fulham and Albion. How fast a decline has it been for us!

The most popular votes are seventh and eighth. That;s hardly a concensus sticking us with the three above.

It was a bloody good shout regarding Fulham and Albion though
