Some more ramblings but from me this time.

Palace close to midtable once more with a few Europe?? and relegation battle candidates?? moments. In same bracket as S'ton, Wolves and maybe a couple others.

Everton to narrowly avoid relegation once more including a very ill advised January spending spree. Lampard to be constantly in headlines before leaving at some stage.

I think Villa, Spam and BHA will do well unfortunately.

City to win league quite comfortably with Haaland doing well but not setting anything alight, maybe starts questioning future etc. They'll also get knocked out of CL SF by another English side.

United to finish between 10-5 with some flashes but ultimate character flaw resurfacing.

Chelsea to look good but not as imperious as previous seasons.

The TOT/ARS sage to continue around 4-6th with less and less interest or drama.

I think Brentford will struggle with second season. Leeds will struggle too but can see 3 promoted going back down. A bit generic but can see it happening this season.

Nothing glamorous from Newcastle.

Nathan Ferguson will be struck off for another 12 months at some point, possibly first few mins of first game after a pukka pie wrapper or balloon floats menacingly into his knee.

Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!

We're going to win the league

Cup

Red and Blue Army!

Predictions:

CP will be in the relegation zone through mid-November. After that we won't be there again.

PV will be fine, and ride out the bad performances.

Leeds, Forest and Bournmouth will end up being relegated.

Lampard is fired by Christmas.

Man U will finish in 7 place. Tag will be fired by February. Harry McGuire and Linderhof will be blamed.

Man City will not win the league. I don't think Liverpool will either.

England men will get out of the group stage, but no further than the quarters.

England women will lose to Sweden on Tuesday (hope I'm wrong).

Good selections, i will go with that

Chelsea have probably struggled a bit morale wise after all the sanction / new owner situation -it may take them a bit of time to sort out / rediscover who they are (in the grand scheme of things) but I am sure they will overcome these challenges & clubs with deep pockets can always find a way to buy their way out of trouble if the existing players aren't performing.
