*******if Chelsea lands a serious striker in the window i'd say they could take the league but if ManU do something in mid-field they might repeat - Gunners and the Spurs are a toss up - if the Spurs lose Bale and the Gunners actually sign someone - miracle of miracles - then then the gunners will stay in the top 4 - Everton could sink further if they lose someone in this window as well and sunderland has been playing with regulation these past few seasons - they are on the brink...

*******let the fun times begin - although no one will beat bayern munich in europe much as i liked borussia dortmund and their supporters - that sea of yellow and black - and then there's Barca and Real Madrid - oh i love the start of the season....

******oh and i'm gathering Suarez stays -and if he's interested Liverpool could climb higher...depending on how they do without him the first 6 matches

*****Pretty sure the top 3 will be between Chelsea and the two Manchesters. I'd be surprised if it turns out otherwise.
*****4th place? I'm hoping Liverpool but couldn't really predict.
*****
*****The three promoted clubs to get relegated seems a reasonable assumption, at the moment I could see Newcastle and Stoke being down there too.
*****

****
****If the squad can stay healthy and Suarez can remain not banned for more than the 6 games then there is a real possibility of fighting for 4th. Don't see us getting much higher unless one of the clubs just absolutely crumble to pieces.
****
****I see Suarez being gone in the January window though if we are hovering around 6 or 7th and have blown our shot at 4th like in the past.
****
****I think Spurs and or Arsenal will have a meltdown this year and drop to 6th. Liverpool will probably get 5th.
****
****Chelsea (mourinho will inspire them to greatness)
****Man City
****Man U (special fergie treatment is over, slow fall from the top)
****Arsenal/Tottenham
****Liverpool
****Arsenal/Tottenham
***
***depends what the Spurs get for Bale - they may end up a stronger better balanced team - I can't see Wenger getting anything done with the days remaining in this window based on his history and if that's the case i think Arsenal could slip - i don't see Liverpool getting to 5th but who knows, i can't imagine Suarez will be mentally into it mind you he looked pretty happy with his child watching the game v Stoke.

**Arsenal had a bad game on Saturday but they had plenty of bad days last season and still finished strongly.

*i actually like wenger and think he has put together/developed interesting teams to watch - they just don't spend to go over the top and unfortunately have lost big pieces in the past years just when it seemed they were getting there - they are frustrating. I do think the Spurs could surprise and do more than 4th, depending on the results of Bale - they are adding and to me look solid and if they get the $ for Bale and the LB and spend wisely they might just be stronger without him.

i.e. if the Spurs sign Willian and Lamela combined with their other summer signings they could very well push for the title i think. also it sounds like Rooney for Mata and possibly Luiz is back on, at least in background discussions - that would be interesting - again i think arsenal are toast this window and i think it may very well hurt them this time around - wenger should have spent when he had the chance, now he's desperate and everyone he talks to knows it. i have to say Liverpool looked creative around the box and if suarez stays and gets excited they could make a run for 5th
