Independent Leyton Orient Forum

Looks like a two horse race again between Manchester City and Liverpool. They have far and away the best two managers.
Spurs, the annual chokers, in third place.
Chelsea and Manchester United, both with managerial appointments based on sentiment rather than experience. Pressure from ruthless owners and huge expectation levels from fans will make for tough going.
With Arsenal making up the best of the rest unless they buy four or five decent defenders.

Man city will walk away with title. Just a matter if they can win European Cup as well. Liverpool clear in second. And any 2 from next 4. Chelsea and man u have the players but rookie managers. Arsenal and Spurs should be no worse than last season.

Norwich and Sheffield United to drop along with Brighton. No Potter magic for them.

YAWN
That’s the sad thing about the PL . The majority of clubs start their season in August knowing they have NO Chance of winning it and their sole ambition is just to stay in it, purely for the money.
Leicester in 2016 was a freak and I can’t see it happening again.
At least in L2 most clubs have a realistic chance.

EFL League 2 has my upmost attention this coming season

Boring

I expect West Ham and Leicester to be pushing the top 6 this season, don't think they'll quite make it though.

The only teams i take an interest in are those whose players are primarily British.

I think Liverpool may actually do it this time. Although City have just signed a cracking player that makes them stronger. I wonder if they fancy a proper crack at the champions league? They were capable of winning it last season and with a bit more discipline in the spuds game probably would have.

Celtic to run away with it again.

With the situation at Newcastle as it is, they'll be needing three teams to be worse than them to stay up!

The Scottish League is even more predictable than the English..........YAWN..........At least Rangers might push Celtic a little this year, but its probably a matter of how many points Celtic win it by...........YAWN.

Think Leicester will shock a few people this season. Especially if they can keep hold of Mcguire, Chilwell and Maddison.

Also think Arsenal will finish in the top 4. Utd may well finish outside the top 6 imo.

1st Liverpool
2nd City
3rd Arsenal
4th Spurs
5th Chelsea
6th Leicester
7th Everton
8th Utd

I'll go for Sheffield United to win it and Man City and Liverpool to get relegates. I wonder what my odds would be.

I would never believe that.I've put £10000 on Celtic and should get a return if I win of 5p.

Would like to see Liverpool win it.I really like Klopp.

1st City
2nd Spurs(now Pochettino has some £ watch him go)
3rd Liverpool (were lucky last year)
4th United (don't think Ole has a clue about buying)
5th Arsenal (will never catch up again)
6th Chelsea (appointing a rookie manager will not help them)
7th Everton
8th Burnley

Agreed. They got as many strikers as West Ham right now.

Palace could find themselves in similar trouble, but at least 2 of the 3 teams coming up will go back down.

I think Villa will be in the top 12 & deano gets offered a new deal with another prem club.

They don't look cheap. £43 upwards for Category B games, but seems as if there are very few tickets less than £50.
Was considering going for Saracens v Quins game next March, but I believe it will clash with Orient V Morecambe. Will be confirmed next week, but suspect I will be going to Brisbane Road.

I predict that the tv will hype the games up as usual even when the game is a load of poo.

Majority of games on TV this season 200 out of 380.

Must admit I had a rueful smile when I saw the National League games on TV - Loads of them. Wonder if Orient will be on TV this season...
