Well last season we finished 11th, we had a few problems, lack of pre season, the team didn't have time to gel, a fairly weak squad in terms of ability and we were hit by a couple of injuries.
Last seven games we finished on a high, winning five and drawing two (something like that).
We were 6 points off making it into Europe. Our problem was not the fact that we lost games, it was the fact that we failed to convert draws into wins. If we managed that we could have even gone as far as challenging for 6th/5th place.
You can mock Villa, every football fan does.
Sunderland have the Keane factor. Big wow. The championship is a fairly piss poor league. Good to watch, but quality lacks. They still have a shit squad compared to most. I fail to see how they will impress. Keane is a bastard, he will motivate his players but at the end of the day other sides may just be a bit too good for them.
Birmingham City will go straight back down.
Same with Derby.
West Ham only stayed up because of Tevez. He has now gone. None of West Hams signings are particularly fantastic. I don't really think I would want any of them apart from that french chap who joined.
Newcastle. They have done very little. One minute glimpses of greatness, next shitness. As always they are a rollercoaster team. I wish them luck, really I do, but their squad is still looking a bit shit.
Man City. Oh dear. Spunk 40 million on players you watched on youtube. Give them a week to gel, then get them to play premiership football. I think they will have an ascendancy, then they will start slipping into mid table, relegation zone.
Fulham, interesting buys, but I just don't think they are strong enough.
Boro, not a good enough team. They lost Viduka, didnt get smith in, and if they lose Yakubu they are bummed.
Bolton are losin their best players. Sammy Lee seems like a coach not a manager. Taking that step up is never a good idea.
Wigan, I am fairly confident Chris Hutchings has the ability to get Wigan relegated by christmas.
Villa compared to these teams.
We are stronger. We have the best manager out of all those clubs. I find it hard how any of you can dispute that point.
O'Neill is building a young, exciting team. Buying English. He isn't willing to spunk 10 million on some italian. He would rather spunk 10 on a british player. I would rather want that as well.
We beat Inter Milan 3-0 in pre season, we looked good against Stoke, Columbus and Toronto and come Liverpool on Saturday I am feeling optimistic.
We are missing a right back, a goalkeeper would be nice, maybe another left back and hey if we can why not another winger. We have things going the right way. I know it's fashionable to laugh at villa, but we really aren't as bad as everyone makes it.

Re: Premiership Predictions 2007/2008
Does anyone (probably exept a newcastle fan) believe that Newcastle are the most overated team in the prem?
They have some world class players i.e. Owen
But to be brutally honest they are an average club who struggle to do any better than mid table. Fair enough they have a big fanbase and they did well like 10 years or whatever it was ago, but since then what have they done to be called a big club?
Allardyce will make them a much better team, although teams like Aston Villa, Blackburn and Portsmouth and are much better teams with equally passionate fans.
I dont think they'll be contenders for the UEFA Cup this year in fact they might not even make the top 10!

Re: Premiership Predictions 2007/2008
a/ Owen is terrible
b/ Whether they are overrated as a club or not has nothing to do with whether they are overrated as a team
c/ They have their most competent manager in years (ever?).
d/ They've signed well and signed big

Re: Premiership Predictions 2007/2008
fair comment, i dont agree that they have signed the players to make them push for the top 10 though
Barton will either be in prison, suspended or will be the average player that he is
Viduka is lazy and will only score goals if the midfield provide good service he's also past his best
Geremi is a good utility player, probably their best signing
Alan Smith was a good player when he was at Leeds since then he's lost his grit and determination. He'll get you 5 goals if your lucky.
The other signings i dont have the knowledge to comment on them fairly, maybe they will be better than the players noted above?

Re: Premiership Predictions 2007/2008
I'm not a Pompey fan but what are you all doing underrating them so much?
They've got the best defence outside the top 4 imo. No doubt about that.
James
Lauren
Campbell
Distin
Hreidarsson
Mendes
Muntari
Kranjcar
Utaka
Nugent
Benjani
Plus there will be 1 or 2 players brought in. Dyer and Defoe are linked recenty.
I think...
1. Chelsea
2. Man Utd
3. Liverpool
4. Arsenal
5. Tottenham
6. Everton
7. Newcastle
8. Portsmouth
9. Aston Villa
10. Blackburn
11. Man City
12. West Ham
13. Sunderland
14. Middlesbrough
15. Bolton
16. Reading
17. Fulham
18. Birmingham
19. Derby
20. Wigan

Re: Premiership Predictions 2007/2008
The rest of their team is pretty much relegation zone premierleague or top of division one standard though.

Also, Nugent is unproven and Benjani is hardly a goal-machine.

Rozenhal, recently Paris SG player of the year, and whatever the to-be-signed Lyon Brazilian defender's name is, are both "top notch" French league players. It's probably a little uncertain how they'll adapt to Premiership, but they can't be worse than what there currently is. The new Spanish bloke, Enrique, is definately a mystery to me, and a 6.3m£ mystery too. Smith probably wasn't signed to punch in fifteen goals. I suppose with Owen, Martins, and Viduka he's the fourth man up on the line for strikers, but he was probably brought in as a rotation asset as he can probably play midfield too. Besides, isn't Allardyce supposed to be excellent in digging the spirit out of people. He managed it with Anelka, surely Smith can't be an issue (Barton's not going to go to prison, he's got money).

Spurs? You've got to be joking. Ledley King needs a top organiser to get the best out of him. His football brain isn't great and I just think he's overrated. Dawson is alright I suppose but wouldn't make the Pompey team. The there's Bale. An unproven teenager who I saw getting destroyed by Damien Duff at Croke Park. Chimbonda is decent too but another overrated player imo. Compared to the rest of their team, the defence is poor and will let them down badly.
West Ham are another team without a great organiser. You can't understate how important that is.
Distin was part of an excellent defence at Man City last season. If it wasn't for City's defence they'd have been relegated, no doubt about it. It was a lot better than Spurs. Distin missed 1 game last season, against Wigan. City conceded 3 goals that day.
Pompey's defence was excellent last season but they've just strenghtened it again. Their central defensive partnership is good enough for the likes of Arsenal imho. Lauren missed the whole of 2006 through injury but he will be excellent for them if back on form.
They spent £7m on Muntari. Man Utd wanted him a year ago but Udinese wanted £11m. He's very highly rated and is a great signing imo. Mendes is a very good player in the holding role.
Utaka also cost a lot and according to him, Man Utd and Newcastle wanted him. He averages a goal every 3 games. Redknapp has said he's going to play him on the wing. He has blistering pace.
Kranjcar improved a lot in the 2nd half of last season. He has tremendous natural ability. He could be a star for them this season.
Pompey fans reckon they'll sign another striker this summer. They won't be missing goals from midfield this season anyway. I think Nugent may just be lacking confidence atm but he has great potential. Don't write him off already.
Portsmouth have improved hugely on last season.

And lest we not forget given that utd have made some good signings this year but this is a team and a manager who shelled out what, 13 million on eric djemba-djemba (twice the name, twice as useless) and kleberson (the most mediocre brazilian midfielder there has ever been).

Whilst Distin was one of City's best players last year, what you've posted here is somewhat silly. For one thing, they conceded 3 or more goals on multiple occasions last season when he was playing. For another, they conceded 4.

Re: Premiership Predictions 2007/2008
I agree Portsmouth are an underated club
They have a great manager and some of their players i.e. Campbell, James, Kranjcar, Taylor would easily fit into one of the top four squad.
They will be in the top 10 definatley, they only missed out on the UEFA cup by a bad Graham Poll decision, they also beat Man U, beat and drew with Liverpool and beat and drew with Asenal last season.
They have only improved the sqaud from last season and have a very enviable home record
If they do better on away games next season which with a bigger squad they will, i cant see them finishing any lower than the top 10

Our defence is our biggest strength. Spurs may have overtaken us now they actually have a proper left back, but apart from that I'm severely struggling to name a better back line on paper outside the top 4. But then again our goalkeeper just isn't human.
As for Benjani, he's not there to be a goal machine. He's there to **** defenders up. And it works. Very well.
The poster who thinks we have improved massively is slightly overoptimistic. We have excellent strength and depth in defence, yes. Our midfield is solid but lacks a truly mobile flair player (especially now Kranjcar is injured) and up front without a true goal threat, we will be lucky to finish top half.
If I was sitting on pots of money at Pompey I would just shell out big time for Yakubu. We'd then be a massive threat.

Re: Premiership Predictions 2007/2008
Benjani's work-rate is superb, but he needs a goal-scoring demon to play alongside to really make use of it - you mentioned Yakubu but I think Defoe would be an equally good signing.

Re: Premiership Predictions 2007/2008
01. Manchester United
Strong squad. Good players. I don't want to talk about the scum too much.
02. Liverpool
I want to say they'll win in but after watching some of their pre-season their strike force still isn't there yet and they're relying on Stevie G to do it for them. Pre-season is pre-season i know (and if it was ever a real indicator then Celtic would never get anywhere) but still ...
03. Chelsea
Chelsea third? Am i mad??? Well lets look at it this way, they're two key players are out at the start of the season. Fair enough Terry is hoping to be back for the Liverpool game but will he really? What will his fitness be like? Then you've got Chelsea's main man DROGBA. The guy who saved them so many times last season by being insanely good. He's out for the start of the season. Anyway my point is "look what a shit start to the season did to Liverpool last year". Also three words for you ... "African Nations Cup". Goodbye Drogba and Essien for that.
04. Spurs
I couldn't really decide between Spurs and Arsenal so i decided to mix it up a little and put Spurs ahead of Arsenal. I'll use the excuses that their team is more settled and Arsenal have Champions league footie to distract them.
05. Arsenal
06. Newcastle
07. Everton
08. Blackburn
09. Aston Villa
10. Reading
11. Man City
I think Sven is a terrible manager who wastes talent. I think his signings are suspect also.
12. West Ham
13. Portsomouth
14. Bolton
15. Sunderland
I would have predicted them lower but they've just got Craig Gordon who i suspect will do wonders for them. I also suspect that if they're in any real trouble come January money will probably be available to strengthen.
16. Fullham
17. Boro
Have lost too much class.
18. Birmingham
19. Wigan
20. Derby

Re: Premiership Predictions 2007/2008
Portsmouth have a superb defence and this will be the making of us. David James in goal is gonna be immense, he earns us so many points. We have a top 5 defence.
In midfield, Taylor is being talked about as getting an England call up, but I fear Krankjaer will keep him out of the side. He threatens to have a great season. Mendes is superb, and we have O'Neil, Muntari (who has looked great in preseason), Utaka who looks good and Hughes who could all expect a place in the team. All in all, a top 8 midfield.
Up front could be a major problem. Lua Lua can get goals if he can stay onside and keep the fans onside, something he hasnt managed lately. Benjani does exactly what is asked of him but needs to add 10 goals a season to his game. Kanu I wished hadn't signed again. Nugent is unproven and hasnt been too sharp in pre-season. I think we have a top 16 strikeforce.
What worries me more is the fans. They have tasted the high life and tbh the atmosphere at Fratton Park was the worst I have ever known it last season. One thing that drives the team on is the fans. Take them away and we could struggle.
We shoud have a bad start to the season due to the teams we have been given. That could count against us.
To summarise, if the midfield chips in with a few goals we could make europe. I would be happy with top 10 again, though I feel most fans almost expect us to hit Europe (I dont think europe is a good thing for us this season).
Star man- Niko Kranjkaer.

And yet you've put them 11th.
They were awful for most of last season so he must have done something right for you to think they've improved this much.

Re: Premiership Predictions 2007/2008
Okay so first round of matches over.
I had thought to make some alterations to my prediction, but it seems fairly solid. One thing of note: Fulham didnt perform like a bottom 3 side but deserve to be there because of this

Re: Premiership Predictions 2007/2008

Bolton and Newcastle didn't get relegated.
