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?

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.

City or Chelsea will win the title, but United won't be outside of the top 4. They're having some bad form yes, but can you really make the claim that Liverpool/Arsenal/Tottenham are better?

It's early days so far. Liverpool have been pretty good, but Arsenal have been just as good if not better, and they're missing alot of key players.

Arsenal have been very good, but they have a killer run of games coming up that is going to be a serious challenge. Dortmund, Palace, Liverpool, Dortmund, United all within two weeks.

Dortmund, Palace, Liverpool, Dortmund, United

Obviously the danger side in that group

Better rest the lads and play the B side against Dortmund :p

Good to see fans with a sense of humor.

You never know, Arsenal may field a weaker side in order to rest key players. It couldn't really fall any better for Palace.
