    I’d say the league title this year is gonna be between Arsenal and Man City. Liverpool and Man United will battle it out for those 3rd and 4th spots.

    I think man united will be there or there abouts at the end.

    Liverpool might get 4th.

    To mention nothing of the fact that an argument could be made (was made) that with the players Ireland had we should have been doing better.

    As you say because there was no template to determine "better" and because we're kind of a nation of simple bastards who accept crap anyway, Charlton methods were determined to be successful and detractors were dismissed....

    I have a feeling Liverpool will do better than people think. Maybe not win it but be well in the race for long time.

    I have a feeling City might drop off hard with Pep gone.

    I don't see Chelsea challenging at all, they're still a mess despite the new acquisitions.

    Man Utd can do well if they start the season like they finished the last.

    Fully expect Arsenal to retain their title.

    Whisper it....but sellik actually seem to be signing some good players this summer. I mean it's only two but those two scored 11 goals in last year's CL so that's an uncharacteristically good start. This last time year we'd signed a striker who just scored 2 goals in the J-League.

    You know it makes me laugh how we're supposedly so fucking brilliant today but all we can do is copy designs from yesteryear.

    Waa Howe sacked or stepped down as he's not happy? Strange timing to go.

    But they are looking like a bit of mess. As you mentioned, many departures and they've not signed anyone of note. They're not able to spend. Bringing in an unknown manager to replace Howe, with the above, you sense they could well be in trouble and struggle to stay up. If the Saudis decide to pull the plug and leave, it could get even worse.

    Sounds like he'd had enough and he did what he needed to get out.

    It would appear not but there are question marks hanging over several of the top teams bar Arsenal, could be a very uneven start at the top of the table...was disappointed to see that Liverpool wasting time looking at Barcola, probably 4th or 5th best forward player at PSG, very wasteful too

    Slice made a good point about City possibly not being as good without Pep, though. If they drop off, I could see Liverpool get 2nd or 3rd. I can’t see Chelsea threatening them this season. They have depth but lack true elite quality, imo.
