So with the Premier League kicking back into action this weekend I thought it would be a good idea to get a general Premier League thread up and running. The aim of this is to have somewhere to discuss games and/or Premier League news stories that wouldn't warrant their own thread over the course of the season. It also may be handy to have a dedicated "one stop shop" thread for Premier League matters.
I will try to commit to posting the fixtures ahead of every weekend (probably on a Wednesday or Thursday as things should have settled down from the previous weekend's action at that stage), but if anyone else gets in there before me please feel free to do it too.
Anyway, lets kick things off with some predictions that we can look back on and laugh at in 9 months time.
Winner:
Champions League spots (2nd, 3rd and 4th, in order):
Europa League spots (5th, 6th and possibly 7th, in order):
Relegation:
Top Goalscorer:
Most Assists:
Player of the Year:
Young Player of the Year (U-23):
Best Signing:
Biggest Flop:
Underachieving/Over-Hyped Player:
Breakout Player:
Surprise Team (Good):
Surprise Team (Bad):
First Managerial Casualty:
Audacious Prediction of the Season:0 -

Fair play on the thread Paully. Great to have somewhere to discuss the other teams :pac:
Winner: Man City
Champions League spots (2nd, 3rd and 4th, in order): United, Chelsea, Arsenal
Europa League spots (5th, 6th and possibly 7th, in order): Liverpool, West Ham, Tottenham
Relegation: Hull, Middlesborough, Watford
Top Goalscorer: Aguero
Most Assists: Silva
Player of the Year: Sanchez
Young Player of the Year (U-23): Success
Surprise Team (Good): Everton
Surprise Team (Bad): Watford
First Managerial Casualty: Mazzarri
Audacious Prediction of the Season: Hull to not win a game all season
I'm really really down on Watford's season this year. Only a few new signings but we haven't signed the required players for 3-5-2 to work and I don't know where Success fits into the system either. Couple that with an atrocious opening to the season and I'd snap your hand off for a 17th place finish right now.0 -

Winner: Manchester City
Champions League spots (2nd, 3rd and 4th, in order): Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester United
Europa League spots (5th, 6th and possibly 7th, in order): Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur, Leicester City
Relegation: Hull, Sunderland (no bias here. Think their squad is much the same and very little investment in it. Can't keep skirting with relegation.), Burnley.
Top Goalscorer: Harry Kane
Most Assists: Dimitri Payet
Player of the Year: Mesut Ozil
Young Player of the Year (U-23): Anthony Martial
Best Signing: N'Golo Kante might be the obvious choice but Joe Allen to Stoke is one that has gone under the radar and I think he could do really well with them.
Biggest Flop: Granit Xhaka. I'm basing that purely from the Euro's. Alright, he was playing with Switzerland but I saw absolutely nothing from him that tells me he can change a game. I think he'll have a poor season.
Underachieving/Over-Hyped Player: It's hard to look past Marcus Rashford. I think he'll go into this season with a lot of hype behind him after last season and will fall short of expectations. Close second would be John Stones.
Breakout Player: Ross Barkley has started to show glimpses of the hype put upon him a couple of seasons ago. Everton haven't really strengthened a huge amount and I think now is a perfect time for him to really become the attacking/creative force Everton will desperately need this season.
Surprise Team (Good): 'Boro
Surprise Team (Bad): Southampton
First Managerial Casualty: Alan Pardew
Audacious Prediction of the Season: Paully D will claim that Sunderland are doomed within the first 2 months of the season setting a new record and making regular posters endure his misery for the coming months.
Either that or Conte will falter with Chelsea, players will stage another mutiny and John Terry will become player/manager by Christmas time.0 -

Well at least you won't have to concern yourself with Premier League matters this season.:pac: 0 -
