Re: Official Premier League ~ FA Cup ~ Carling Cup ~ Discussion Thread 11/12 Season
Chelsea's gotta take the title back, but it won't happen if Roman doesn't get his head on straight.
Of the new teams, I'd expect QPR to stay up for sure, and possibly Swansea. Don't see much promise for Norwich, unfortunately.
Relegated teams: Norwich, Wigan, and Blackburn/Wolves. Predictable list, but I really think that's how it's going to shape up. If Wigan loses N'Zogbia to another team, they've got just about zero chance of staying up, and the same goes for Blackburn and Wolves with their stars, Wolves especially if they lose their top talents.
Top 4, in no order:
Chelsea
Man U
Liverpool
Man City
Chelsea and Man U seem certain. I think Man City will have a rough year surrounded by Tevez drama, but will still do what it takes to retain their Champions League spot. Liverpool and Arsenal are both in rebuilding stages right now, but I feel that Liverpool is in the better position and they will come out of this season the better team.
