Here's my prediction for the 2016-17 Premier League:

1) Chelsea
-------------------------
2) Utd
3) Manchester City
4) Spurs
-------------------------
5) Arsenal.
6) Lfc
-------------------------

I actually think the EPL winners is a toss up between Chelsea and us but ill go for Chelsea.

I also expect positions 4-6 not to be so clear cut and particularly expect West Ham to push hard for inclusion there.

As the League Cup/ FA Cup Winners are invariably a team that finishes in the European places, for the sake of those places then going to the PL:

6) West Ham
7) Southampton

-------------------------
18) Swansea (unless they buy 4 good players by the end of the window)
19) Burnley
20) Hull City.

Underachiever of the Season:

Everton - unless they go crazy in the transfer market till 31/8. If so then Leicester who I expect to finish around 10th.


Overachiever of the Season:

Middlesboro - Big club, passionate fans, good manager shrewd work in the transfer market. The makings of a good season.

You've predicted two teams to finish 6th West Ham and Liverpool

Looks like there's no chance of us losing that 4th spot boys...

That "historical merit" part is so stupid. Spurs for example could come 4th in the league, but miss out on Champions League the next season because 10th placed Liverpool have won it five times in the past?

If that's how it would work then... Well, I don't even know what to say :D

Since my predictions last season went so well, I might as well try again.

1. Manchester City
2. Tottenham
3. Manchester United
4. Arsenal (will start out the strongest)

18. West Brom (or Burnley)
19. Swansea
20. Hull City

Overachiever- Stoke City (fighting for 5th or 6th with West Ham)
Underachiever- Swansea

Im **** at predictions but here we go

1. United
2. Chelsea
3. Man City
4. Liverpool

Not even gunna attempt 5th and 6th, but I do think this is the year the gunners miss out on UCL unless they have a big transfer lined up. I think you will probably have not so many points separating the top 4 so this could be any order but no europe will help Pool and Chelsea.

Overachiever I think could well be Leicester again if Mendy settles, they may well challenge for top four as it is largely the same team plus maybe Gabriel Barbosa lol. And I feel even a top 7 spot would be overachieving for them, but with the amount of pace in their team and them still being defensively sound they will cause teams problems still.

underachiever was torn between Everton, Swansea and Arsenal but I'm gunna go Arsenal, they are the most infuriating team ever they could be one of the best teams in Europe with 2 signings but unless they have something big lined up I think that with the quality other teams have brought in and that Spurs kept all their good players this may well be the time the **** miss out and given what players they have and how much they charge would be a disaster missing out on top 4.

Relegation fodder

18th Burnley
19th Swansea
20th Hull City

Burnley and Hull city are obvious choices, both barely recruited but Swansea are in real trouble unless they make signings for me. Williams going is massive, not just their best defender but their leader, add to that Ayew leaving who was for me their best player last season. They signed Llorente but his recent scoring record is woeful and Baston is on his way but will need time to settle just don't see them staying up without major recruitment. Especially when their rivals are flashing the cash.
 
The song Glorious by Andreas Johnson came on the radio yesterday in the car and I got mad excited.

Hard to believe it was 16 years ago.

Watched the Pep documentary today on Sky, decent little watch and it really gets the juices going for the new season really cannot wait at all!
 
Predictions

1. Man City
2. Man United
3. Chelsea
4. Liverpool

5. Leicester
6. Tottenham
7. Arsenal

18. Swansea
19. Burnley
20. Hull

Top three is difficult to choose an order for, tempted to go United but I don't really want that to happen so I won't. Similar with 4-7, really tough to pick but I'm taking the plunge with Liverpool more because I'm willing it to happen rather than expecting it, lack of European football, as opposed to the likes of Spurs in the CL could help us. Not sure about Swansea going down but they worry me having lost Williams for peanuts, and I don't want to go with all three promoted teams going straight back down. Middlesbrough seem the most likely to stay up.

Overachiever of the season: Have to say Leicester, if they finish top 7 or 8 they've done a fantastic job but they can definitely challenge at the top end again. Otherwise Bournemouth.

Underachiever of the season: Has to be one of the big clubs, so I'm going with Arsenal. Less confident of that if/when Mustafi signs, as their defence would match up to any, but I feel like the atmosphere is getting toxic, and even a hint of the same problems like injury or Giroud misses, and the pressure will ramp up
 
As the City thread is so dead I've not been keeping up much with them but with a fit Aguero they had quite a scary looking squad

Pretty meh defence and 'keeper. Even more so with Kompany's continued injury problems. And there's no striker depth of any real note behind Aguero.

Beast of a midfield though. Another few buys like you say in defense and they have a strong team
