Wouldn't it have been easier to post "no surprises next season"? Would have saved me scanning the list looking for who you thought had a good/bad season. Unless you mean the team in fifth place?pee dubya said:City
Chelsea
Arsenal
Spurs
United :)
Liverpool
Swansea
Everton
West Ham
Southampton
Fulham
Newcastle
West Brom
Norwich
Villa
Sunderland
Cardiff
Hull
Stoke
Palace
So are you suggesting relegation or a surge up the table?Ray78 said:Fulham as they are just about to be sold.
Is Jol still manager? If they keep him and spend a bit I would have thought solid but unspectacular season.

Villa is not going down. They probably will be one of the surprises of next season.

Mayor West said:Add liverpool to that too, can see a realistic top 4 challenge next season.
I agree.<br /><br />-- Thu Jul 11, 2013 5:00 pm --<br /><br />

well again next season. West Ham are a dark horse aswell I feel.
Swansea look like they'll be competing with Liverpool for that outside 4th place- 5th place.

The teams I think will really do better this year include
Swansea Bony-Michu that's really says it. (This is something I really have to say. I have a feeling that Bony will be a better fit for the EPL than Negredo and we might be biting our fingers.)
Liverpool Very shrewd and good signings plus Breanden Rodgers is impressing me at Liverpool.
Norwich Could see them in a 10th-11th position this year.
Aston Villa is not going down and will be one of the surprises of the season. They strengthened the backline with Okore who has the makings of a beast and reinforced all the positions that were weak earlier in the Summer.
Tottenham They'll be tittle challengers.

Malky Mackay to be the new Laudrup, Rodgers, Clarke etc
I think Swansea will finish 6th-7th, Southampton maybe 8th-9th, so those would be my surprises for next season.
Swansea's team on paper was impressive last season, and this season they've already added Jose Canas, Shelvey, Bony, and Pozuelo.

I'll be interested to see what Southampton will do this season. They have bought great players to add to their talented squad already. My question mark is with Pochettino. I wonder whether he'll repeat the Espanyol experience again.
