rotation is the key, keep folks involved and playing semi regularly and then it keeps the squad on its toes

Think Man Utd will be around the top 4, not sure about Liverpool.

Chelsea will probably end up finishing below Luton Town though

Luton's trying to take our players.

You should easily finish above them.

My top 4 are set in stone

Alphabetical order

Arsenal
Liverpool
ManC
ManU

Then a huge gap between the rest

Yeah and they looked good. Jackson, Maatsen, and Nkunku looked really good. And we scored a decent amount of goals.

Newcastle were w/o Saint Max for the last half of the season, they did fine without him. If they can add a little more depth, they'll be right up there imo. However, with CL, they need a few more signings, granted.

I sense a darkness in the force in this post.

And it's to do with a team playing in Claret & Blue.

Yeah Zizu, wouldn't be surprised at all. They have some quality players, stable manager, and are decent unit.
