[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

Putting Arsenal outside the top 4 is probably mental. Bournemouth 13, tough call there, could well suffer that 2nd season in the PL syndrome (that probably isn't even a thing)

you're dissappointed you're not incompetent?

 

1) don't underestimate yourself

2) i think DG may have been joking

Not a chance.

Do you want to clarify what you think I was joking about, Surf?

[surf]

saying that you edited macca's post is just as funny as actually editing them, so i'm not sure whether you did or not

I wasn't joking.

 

Macca f***ed up the first time he did this (I think he put the predictions in the previous season's order or something silly) and I played with his next couple of posts in that first season. Next season - he made a mistake too and I again played around with the situation. I then stopped at some point, too long ago to actually remember clearly what went on....any other mistakes/statistical analysis he made on this site was all down to him. I simply set it in motion........he became the living embodiment of the original joke I made. He is that incompetent

[surf]

good to see he still messed up the first and second season and it wasn't all a big joke

This is exactly, exactly, like when the US intervened in Iraq to make a bad thing better only for it to end up 1000 times worse. We'll all be sorry in twenty years time when thousands of Macca-inspired internet-jihadis are ruining forums.

It's Macca though so thousands will probably only be 3 or 4 at best. Not 3 or 4 thousand just 3 or 4.

What are we supposed to do here?

Edited August 2, 2016 by New York Red

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

probably about right for Burnley

[sutty]

The arsenal shout is interesting. Shows the view of the competition and the assumption of Mourinho's impact on united & Conte at Chelsea

 

Presume this means people are predicting a united, chelsea, city, spurs top 4 with arsenal and Leicester being bombed from last season. Reckon we'll be predicted 6th on this basis. 

 

Bookmakers odds on top 4 are

 

City 1/5

MU 4/11

Chelsea 8/15

Arsenal 4/7

Spurs 11/10

The Reds 11/8

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

ManU I find weird. Basically everyone's assuming Mourinho will turn up trumps. 3 seasons ago they blew a commanding lead with only about 8 games to go & finished 3rd. 2 seasons ago they won it & last season were in a relegation scrap when he was fired. 

 

The longer he's around (in general not at a single club) the more scrappy he seems

[Earl Hafler]

2 seasons ago ?

[Bigal]

2 seasons ago ?

 

Macca getting something wrong???

 

I reckon DG has editted his post again.

[smithdown]

What are we supposed to do here?

I'm not sure either. What are we supposed to argue about?

 

Needs a photo of Macca to jiggle it up.

[Gilps]

TBF, is the ridiculous, dopey t*** not referring to Mourinho's (and therefore) Chelsea's record over those three years there?

Edited August 2, 2016 by Gilps

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

Last season - Leicester

2 seasons ago - Chelsea

 

or was 2014-15 one season ago?

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

Chelsea updated

 

bunch of c****

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

Everton 8th - they're assuming wonders from Koeman then

& Palace 12th

So I'm guessing they have us 6th with Spurs & the Mancs x2 as the top 3

[Cobs]

I reckon they have it

 

City

Utd

ourselves

 

Spurs in 6th

Leicester 7th

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

Yeah did think after posting. Klopp + no Euro footy vs Spurs potential hangover....

 

Can't see them having ManU as 6th unless they've decided Mourinho is a jonah now

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

Hull. bottom

[Sir Tokyo Sexwale]

Leicester 9th.....hmmm

 

Think they'll finish above Everton, suppose depends how bad losing Kante is really. European footy will interfere too but I'd still put them comfortably ahead of Everton

[psl]

I reckon they have it

 

City

Utd

ourselves

 

Spurs in 6th

Leicester 7th

Swap us and Spurs I reckon.
