    Wonder what everybody thinks . But next season the premier league is full of teams who probably would be considered 'not big' clubs

    Huddersfield
    Brighton
    Burnley
    Bournemouth
    Swansea
    Palace
    Us
    Stoke
    West brom
    Palace
    Southampton

    The sky / bt money is definitely the big equalizer

    Half the league stadiums next season have less than 30k capacity. It's proper big league.

    What position does everyone predict we will finish in this "weak" league then?

    Time for us to step up and prove we are not one of the weaker ones then.

    It comes down to the "big club" argument again though, would it be stronger if your more traditional names were in it like Leeds, Sheff Wed, QPR or Villa, even though these teams are weaker?

    People said the year we won it, it was a weak prem, though that was to do with the bigger sides going through "transitional periods" rather than the 20 sides as a whole.

    This "not considered a big club" ripped up the the rulebook 2 years ago and won the league so I dont see it being a weak league because clubs arent as fasionable as other years

    I just mean a team that is a more memorable for being in the top division than some others like Brighton, Huddersfield, Bournemouth, Burnley etc.

    I'm convinced we'll finish top six at least if not top four.

    5th - 8th. Hopefully our teams in Europe go on decent runs which will help us.

    I'd be happy for a comfortable season, for the love of god we could use a steady season! Though looking at the first 6 games ... :emoticon-0107-sweat

    Got to play them sometime mate and at the start of the season before they've all kicked into gear is as good as any.

    Kind run in though, only Arsenal and Spurs in the final three months.

    With one or two right signings, we are more than capable of beating Arsenal!

    I was at Highbury the last time we won at their place. Then the Stones at Wembley Empire Pool in the evening. It was a very good day.

    Sorry I'm not sure if you're on the wind up or just trying to make a point how close the league is but we should not be in the bottom 3 whatsoever and if we do we've ****ed up majorly so wouldn't say that's likely given some of the other sides. I would say between 8th and 13th personally so not sure why you think we wouldn't be higher than 13th unless you're on the wind up knowing COE is here
