Yep; I remember playing Cardiff early on in their last season in the PL, and they turned us over (the Pellegrini title season, I think). But I'd like to think we're mentally tougher under Pep. And better coached/prepared for games now.I hope you are right. Playing newly promoted sides early on when they are bubbling with excitement and enthusiasm at being in the prem is probably the worst time to play them.

I`d agree with that but for the fact so many of our players will hardly of kicked a ball since the wc

That would give you such a hard-on.Liverpool will win it
I think Chelsea will be the biggest threat.
They have a good manager, a deep squad, and no Champions league to worry about. They will be a threat for the next two seasons before Abromovich fires Sarri and the whole Chelsea managerial cycle starts anew.
Both United and Liverpool over-performed last year. We're long past due for a Mourinho explosion regardless, I can't see him making it through the year. Liverpool punched way above their weight last year, and got injury-free and career years out of Firmino, Mane, and Salah last year. I wouldn't bet on that happening again.
Tottenham will be Tottenham. There will be a few months where they'll convince everyone they have a shot at a title, only to shoot themselves in the foot and finish 4th or 5th.
Arsenal doesn't have the talent or the squad depth. They're a cut below the rest. They'd do well to finish above 6th.

Pains me to say it because they make me sick to my stomach but the dippers will probably push us all the way. They have a stronger squad than last season and are better prepared than most teams for the start of the season. I expect them to start strongly.

Whisper it.Liverpool will win it
Unfortunately I think you'll be right and it certainly won't be as quiet a summer about the Champions as this has been.

Think we will win it but it will be alot tighter with Liverpool finishing 2nd. Hopefully I'm wrong pool finish 5th and klopp gets canned. Klopp is a good manager they have a strong squad and the board seem willing to back him unlike spurs think they will be our biggest challenges for the next few years.
Serri is 60 and has never won anything can't imagine he will buck that trend in the most difficult league in the world. Jose is so negative about everything that it is bound to be affecting a pretty decent squad of players think they will start slow he will moan more the players will stop playing for him and he will be gone by Christmas. Spurs don't splash the cash so can't imagine that can catch the rest of the pack until they do and arsenal don't have a strong enough squad in my opinion maybe next season they can be in the mix.
