Need to take the title back. But we're not going to do it with the current squad and with no manager. Sort it out, Roman and co.

Can't wait though. Copa America and the U21 Championship will be good, but that can't replace Chelsea for me.

And 3 from:
Nani

Number 20 should be easy enough...

Well, I don't support any teams from England, but I'll be rooting for Man Citeh to win the league.

They have my favorite person in the whole world (Balotelli) and one of my favorite footballers (Silva).

IMO QPR will be difficult to play at their ground, its a small ground with fans close to the pitch, Swansea will also be difficult to play at their ground

I reckon QPR will comfortably stay up on their home form, Swansea might struggle but they will just stay up, and Norwich will go down. If wigan lose Martinez i reckon they will go down

I reckon this will be a two horse race between the two Manchester acts. Chelsea will once again let the inmates run the asylum and Arsenal will suffer the same problems they suffer from every 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.
