Premiership Preview Part 1
I will expand in future, but as it's the first day of the season I should probably go public with my predictions. Here's a projected league table, which will leave me liable to ridicule come next May. Particularly with my controversially low placings for Liverpool, Spurs and Wigan, and surprise choices of Newcastle, Everton and Sheffield United to finish above where most are predicting.
1 Chelsea
2 Manchester United
3 Arsenal
4 Liverpool
5 Newcastle
6 Tottenham
7 Everton
8 West Ham
9 Blackburn
10 Aston Villa
11 Charlton
12 Portsmouth
13 Fulham
14 Middlesbrough
15 Sheffield United
16 Bolton
17 Man City
18 Wigan
19 Watford
20 Reading

well, Newcastle finishing fifth is a suprising prediction, I would suggest 7th again because of a lack of a squad (unless the Shep pulls his finger out and buys 2 strikers a left back and a right midfielder)
Otherwise, can't really disagree...Although I am thinking Fulham will be relegated along with Wigan and Watford...Reading will stay up simply to give the manyoo fans in the Thames Valley a moral dilema!!!

I wouldn't say your placing for Liverpool is particularly low. Chelsea will clearly win the title, and after that it's basically Man U, Arsenal and Liverpool in any order.

You obviously knew that Reading were going to sign Ulises De La Cruz when you made that prediction?
