mine has the benefit of being grounded in this reality though.

Seriously? you think they will get relegated? That team is far too good to be relegated. It will never happen. Stoke City are an amazing team.

Arsenal at 3? Why do you think they'll remain in the top 4? If Vermaelen is the biggest transfer and assuming Adebayor leaves ...

You guys are a funny bunch. If you Berbatov haters watched him play every game last year you will change your mind. He had what 15 goals? How many did tevez have during his first year at utd, about 20 right? Big differance. Berbatov set up all those rooney and ronaldo goals as well. An Owen, Berbatov Partnership off the bnech would be perfect.

As for Aston Villa, Ashley Young is on his way oout either this year or next year. Downing means that the left side is taken and although ashley can play on the right there are talks of Villa getting bentley. i also have a feeling villa will struggle to finish top 10. I hope Arsenal falls out of the top four and SPurs OR everton givesthem a run for their money.

Burnley and hull are finishing dead last thats for sure, fulham will struggle because of europa league, blackburn will get relegated along with hull and burnley (THEY sold roberts cause they thought they could get Van nistelrooy LOL)

Also, Adebayor is trash and city are paying him 170 000 quid a week LOL. The man had ONE good season where all his goals were set up perfectly for him. he cannot create goals himself as you saw this season and he is always offside. Arsenal are a joke of a team now if they have to rely on over rated wallcott and always injured van persie and wide open net misser bentdner to score.

who the hell am I missing?

your welcome

They would be at 4 but i had to respond to SciFiBoy.

I think it will be either ManCity or Arsenal.

I just dont see Everton or Tottenham having as good a squad of players to overpower them.

Ah yes Fulham. They had a very poor away record last year and if they do the same this year, they will be in big trouble.

Football Fan. You cant just think city will make the top four with money. Their manager is a great manager but unfortunatley he cannot handle so many egos on one teamI E robinho and bellamy. also he needs to sign some midfieldersand defenders if they have a chance.

You are also forgetting that spurs and everton have players that have gelled together for 3 or 4 years. they also have redknapp and moyes as managers. hmmmm

Yes, but Tevez is not a striker while Berbatov is. Tevez is more a foward that can move to the wings, and to create a lot of chances with his speed (he's not the fastest player, but he's not slow), endurance (he's very strong) and ability. He's one you would put alongside a striker (someone like Van Nistelrooy, Tevez can win balls and cross/assist him, and also score a lot of goals when Ruud takes the marking off). Berbatov kinda like Ruud, he's there to score goals, he's less talented, but he's taller, has a better heading, and so on. It's logical he scores more goals, he's there for that.

i get your argument, but United already have someone who plays that sort of game, and much better and more consistently, his name is Wayne Rooney.
