Stranger things have happened, I'm going to stand by it for now but it is, as I've said, dependant on transfer moves. If I'm wrong at the end of next season then I expect fully to get laughed at for this crazy prediction but for now, who really knows how next season will unfold?

Why do you think this?

It's a different era, his mainstays are about retired/on their last legs, if he shifts Luiz out it will destabilize the current dressing room as Luiz is a very popular player, I am not sure he will keep Mata either, and finally, anyone who thinks Abramovich has softened is dreaming. Their 'business' is far from over...it's clear that Abramovich brought back the fan favorite, but remember, the man wants attractive football and Mourinho believe in a large degree of caution. No, I think it's a long-term disaster. They will not win the title.

Re: The Official Oh F*** Chelsea Destroyed Footie Thread feat. FSW

I can see Arsenal finishing in the top 2. This summer they seem unlikely to lose any of their key players and, if they can keep the form going from the end of last season, in to this season then they could be a real threat to the top of the Premiership table. I think the fact that they have not changed their manager could prove instrumental too. We've seen how it took AVB a while to get the squad playing and achieving solid results, who is to suggest that Moyes, Pellegrini or Mourinho will not have the same difficulty at the start of the season with their squads, by which time if Arsenal start well then they could be in a good position to challenge at the top.

I would like to say that we would be in that position but, at the moment, we are playing catch up with Arsenal and are more likely to finish in 3rd, at highest. Which leads the question, which team of Emirates Marketing Project, Manchester United and Chelsea would finish outside the top 4. I would think that it would be Emirates Marketing Project. I think that they lack real width and, although Navas could be a good signing, its unknown how he will settle or whether he would become homesick. There will be other changes in the squad too and, I'm curious as to whether Pellegrini will be the right appointment for the club.

There is a whole summer of transfers to pan out and I could be astonishingly wrong, I probably will be but here is my top 4 for next season...

1. Chelsea
2. Arsenal
3. Tottenham
4. Manchester United

Manchester United may yet finish higher, depends how well Van Persie performs and whether the club can improve the central midfield. I think that's their weak spot, that and a new centre back might be needed as I don't think Ferdinand is playing at the same standard, Vidic has had injury worries and so a good commanding centre back could make a big difference to the performance of the team next season. Does anyone really believe, next season, the club can come from behind to win as many times as they have this season? I think under new management, it's unlikely, they will need to start keeping more clean sheets in order to succeed.

...hate to say it, but I actually think if the goons buy smart in the summer they have an excellent chance of the title. They were much stronger this season than last and really only lacked a proper goalkeeper. If they signed, for example, Mignolet, I could see them doing it. I think that IF Levy doesn't prevaricate, and if AVB gets his targets, we will push them and others all the way. United will have a wobbly time...

Five years now since Lehmann left them.

Is there some bad blood between them? Mata has been superb for them so it doesn't seem a sensible move on Chelsea's part.

I can't see the title. I think that they need more than simply a new goalkeeper to finish at the top of the Premiership, I think they need Giroud, Podolksi or Walcott to step up the goalscoring... how often is it that a side wins the Premiership without a striker who finishes in at least the top 3 of the Premiership Top Goalscorers? Not often, I'd think. I do think that their defence has improved but not sure if they can continue to rely on Mertesacker this year. Koscielny, as I've regularly said, is one of their top couple of players and someone who saves the side defensively, I think. I think they need someone else alongside him or, should Mertesacker be injured and Vermaelen continue to be off form, then Arsenal will struggle more defensively, irrespective of whether they have signed a new goalkeeper or not.

Re: The Official Oh F*** Chelsea Destroyed Footie Thread feat. FSW

I fancied us for 3rd this season, I think things are even more in our favour next season and I think we may keep close to city whilst their new manager settles

Jose
City
Spurs
United

for me, assuming of course we sign a proper bloody striker and keep Bale, if we don't then I reckon we'll be down by Christmas

 

[The Moonlit Knight]

Re: The Official Oh F*** Chelsea Destroyed Footie Thread feat. FSW

With Bale, we have an outside chance of top four next season. Without Bale I think we'll be fighting Liverpool for 5th and the top four will be way out of sight.

Re: The Official Oh F*** Chelsea Destroyed Footie Thread feat. FSW

Can't see Emirates Marketing Project doing much with Pelligrini, hardly and upgrade on Mancini (who I didn't rate highly). Make no mistake, Chelsea will be in the top 2. He won them the league for two years without a top striker (this is assuming they won't sign anyone which is unlikely), well they had Drogba but he wasn't world class until his 3rd season onwards. Their defence isn't as good as when he first went there, but their front four is better. Can't believe people have United as far down as 4th! They will be up there with Chelsea.

Who are we going to sign that will propel us above Scum AND United?

Re: The Official Oh F*** Chelsea Destroyed Footie Thread feat. FSW

I think we are already above the scum, and I think AVB will propel us above Moyes

Already above them? In what sense? :lol:

Moyes is not in the same class as Fergie that's obvious, but they've still got one of the best squads in the league, plus Moyes achieved consistent top 7 finishes on a small budget and even managed 4th one season, can't see him struggling with that United squad and new signings.

 

[Baleforce]

Re: The Official Oh F*** Chelsea Destroyed Footie Thread feat. FSW

better squad, better manager, better prospects

I think Moyes will do well at United, but he'll take a while to get going, us on the other hand with Bale on song are gonna be awesome from day one

 

[Rossi22]

Re: The Official Oh F*** Chelsea Destroyed Footie Thread feat. FSW

Utd, City, Chelsea, Arsenal in some order.

Hmm, better squad? I would say just, but it's close. Better manager? Unfortunately no, not yet.

Sadly this is true.

A good window though can see us with a better squad next season, im confident with our chances of this

To be fair to him, it's been only one point for two seasons. I don't think you'd need to sign anyone world class to finish above them. Them being Arsenal.
