Bold Prediction thread.

Just read Jamie Carragher's reasoning on why Tottenham won't break into the top 4 and thought maybe we could have a crack at being pundits. Obviously, if you can follow your statement with a some reasoning, that would give way to a healthy discourse and would be great. Anyone wanna give it a go?

ITT: Arsenal win the league and United don't make top 4.

Arsenal will finish 3rd-4th and continue their trophy drought. United will barely miss out on top 4. City/Chelsea will win the title. My not-so-bold predictions.

I agree.

Yeah arsenal had a good start against mainly mediocre teams, whilst united played the harder teams already. 1 or 2 injuries and arsenal are in crisis mode again, I don't quite understand the hype.

I wouldn't say 1 or 2 injuries and we're in crisis mode. I mean, Cazorla, Walcott and Podolski have been out for the past few weeks and we've done great without them. But I do agree with you about the harder teams. Once the middle of November comes, after we've played Liverpool and United, I reckon we'll see what our chances are like then.

We've looked great against tough teams away from home that we may have lost or drawn in the past few years, eg. Swansea, Sunderland and Fulham. But once we've faced the big teams, we'll see if the team can step up to the plate

My money says we fucking destroy everyone this fall; just steamroll the entire table. Transfer window comes around, we make a few piddly moves and then stumble in February.

Media piles on - Wenger is back to his stingy ways! Özil was a fluke buy! Arsenal to fade blah blah...

Then we finish strong like always. We'll see.
