Number of points after first 3 matches?

[PeterWithesShin]

Too much pessimism in here. We will get 7 points. Beat Arsenal, get another draw against a Mourinho Chelsea team (will make it 5 draws 2 defeats) then beat the bin dippers at VP.

Can't wait 

We beat them at VP didn't we in the Roman handshake game.

[Toronto Villa]

I'm going for a solid 5 points. Draw's in London, win against the deluded dippers who'll be missing Suarez and quite possibly Sturridge

Beat Arsenal (have they improved yet?), lose to Chelsea, draw with Liverpool, 4 points, bob's your uncle (or is he?).

Im a little worried that the preseason have been to soft with the exception to Malaga and that it will take a few games to find the PL pace.
Arsenal havnt really improved their team (Did he really bring Bendtner back? Its like buying Carew for this season) but their preseason is setting them up for a flying start.
Chelsea - better prepared, cashdoped squad and at home. Gonna need a miracle.
Liverpool - coming home to Villa Park after that start will turn everyone into energizer bunnies. This is where we draw the line in the sand. Clean sheet.

Arsenal - 3pts (5%) , 1pt (25%) , 0pt (60%)
Chelsea - 3pts (1%), 1pt (14%), 0pt (85 %)
Liverpool - 3 pts (60%, 1 pt (35%), 0pts (5 %) -

That would make it 3-4 pts probably.

The Gooners wont nil us, but theyll score as well i fancy a draw there possibly 2-2, the Jose show will be gathering pace nicely by then, and were away, only one result i can see there. A Suarez - less Liverpool are beatable, so i`m going for 4 Points.

Yeah we did. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/eng_prem/6963719.stm

So 1 win, 4 draws and 2 defeats in the league vs Mourinho. I thought the last time was the 3-2 in 2004.

Why is Arsenal's pre-season setting them up for a flyer?

[pauliewalnuts]

If we do wind up with zero points after these three fixtures, we just need not to shit ourselves and start panicking.

[PeterWithesShin]

I still don't get how our pre-season are too soft while everyone else's is turning them into world beaters.

I assume its because we've been playing the likes of Crewe, whereas clubs such as Man Yanited have been playing clubs such as Crewe.

When they weren't getting beaten by unknown Japanese sides.

[PeterWithesShin]

I just don't see much difference between ours and the majority of other clubs.

All Premier League club's pre-season friendlies

There really isn't on the whole.

[villa kicks]

I can say now we won't lose to Arsenal or Liverpool.

I still say we wont lose to these 2 . You can get 8/1 for the win which is far to big for a first day of season match!! also 4/1 for the draw !!
Aston Villa plus 1 goals is 2/1

[cheltenhamlion]

One of each. Draw at Arsenal. Narrow defeat by Chelsea. Win against Liverpool.
