TheWrenKing: EPL predictions/thread

TheWrenKing 08.09.16	vault me
SIIMBOLIC 08.09.16	Agree with Manchester top two. Gonna be the most exciting season in a while
Nocturnalize 08.09.16	Swap 4 with 5 and 7 with 10. Also having some doubts about Chelsea, if Hazard shows up they'll be in the hunt but if not they can kiss europe goodbye
Spacesh1p 08.09.16	Arsenal will finish top 4, as always.
Conmaniac 08.09.16	10 will be top 5 but wont win it yeah
Spacesh1p 08.09.16	I agree with 10 personally.
Conmaniac 08.09.16	my two algerian roommates would disagree
Spacesh1p 08.09.16	I'm sure they would.
Sinternet 08.09.16	eagerly awaiting this years st toteringhams day for salty spurs kids also think we can do better than third tbh if we can improve our defence, thinktbh that we have the best attack in the league
ZippaThaRippa 08.09.16	IT'S NOT CALLED THE BPL ANYMORE
Sinternet 08.09.16	man my predictions for last season were off lol http://www.sputnikmusic.com/list.php?memberid=1054524&listid=160673
ZippaThaRippa 08.09.16	Also, Swans are undoubtedly going to be relegated
sempiturtle 08.09.16	https://i.gyazo.com/10a0300cdfd62131bda518f01648e294.png This is what I got from predicting the results of every match, and yeah it's pretty much my prediction.
Conmaniac 08.09.16	MAHREZZZZZZZZZ its gonna be a fun year is 10 does well again lmao
ZippaThaRippa 08.09.16	Also, Also, Tottenham is going to be routinely thrashed by ManU, ManC, Chelsea and probably Liverpool. They won't finish top 5. They're about to find out what it's like to play the big boys when they AREN'T in a crisis.
Sinternet 08.09.16	guys do we have a fantasy league or whatever
Sinternet 08.09.16	last year was such a fuckin wake up call to everyone lol
sempiturtle 08.09.16	The Europa contenders area with West Ham, Everton, Leicester, Liverpool, Southampton and even Spurs is definitely the hardest to predict. Hopefully West Ham can improve on 7th but I would be happy to finish there again. Hell I'd be happy with top half considering the quality of some of the teams in the 5th-11th place range.
Conmaniac 08.09.16	id be down Sint
sempiturtle 08.09.16	I've got a fantasy team with Kane, Giroud, Lukaku, Mahrez, Payet, Barkley, and Fabregas and I don't quite know how I've done that tbh.
Conmaniac 08.09.16	holy shit semi
TheWrenKing 08.09.16	put everton up in 7th cause i'm biased but I think we'll have a stalling season as koeman gets rid of deadweight (kone/niasse/oviedo/etc) and rebuilds the squad
TheWrenKing 08.09.16	yeah sin after the 15/16 shitstorm anything's possible but the 'big' clubs are finally taking things seriously now well, except for arsenal
Sinternet 08.09.16	classic arsenal with arsene 'i almost signed him!' wenger in charge they'll never do well
Futures 08.09.16	as a chelsea fan i'm pretty excited for the season. no european competition and conte. i think they will win the league.
Valkoor952 08.09.16	Fuck Wenger, honestly. Like I respect him and everything but he's just ruining what he's build. And oh boy are most of the fans blind.
TheWrenKing 08.09.16	it's either that or 'i signed him but I thought he was shite so i let him go for nothing' but we ditched dier and mustafi so I can't talk
Spacesh1p 08.09.16	Arsenal fans are near to the worst and I am one myself, but I don't ride the emotional pendulum from game to game. I just hope we do well but if we don't, only ourselves to blame.
Sinternet 08.09.16	ayy futures nice to see a fellow blue here im optimistic too but also cautious because you never know if the squad will sui the manager
Spacesh1p 08.09.16	I do think that Arsenal are underrated generally though since we have had such little transfer activity. People overrate that during the window. Yeah, we haven't done much at all, but we still finished second in a tough season last season and that counts for something. To say we will drop out of the top 4 this season is a stretch when we have stayed in with squads as bad as 2008-2011/12.
sempiturtle 08.09.16	Just saying as a West Ham fan having actual expectations is very foreign to me. Fans of other teams having actual expectations for us is even more strange. If we're still the West Ham I know we'll finish 12th and lose all our good players before going down to the Championship by 2019.
TheWrenKing 08.09.16	west ham fans seem to be very cocky nowadays i don't like it
sempiturtle 08.09.16	Also Arsenal will most definitely finish top 4 (probably 4th) and also finish above Spurs as usual. One of the best moments of last season was seeing Arsenal overtake Spurs on the last day, even though I dislike both teams.
Futures 08.09.16	arsenal will never win a title with giroud as their main striker
TheWrenKing 08.09.16	i dunno I'm pushing for this to be the season arsenal implode
sempiturtle 08.09.16	I don't get the Giroud hate seeing as he's always among the top 5 scorers in the league. Is he perfect? No, but he's a great striker and they have plenty of scorers in midfield as well.
Spacesh1p 08.09.16	You and most people for the past 8 years, Wren. People are so frustrated by how Arsene behaves that they get a serious hate boner for us and hope we finally, actually fall out of the top four like our underinvestment seems to deserve.
Spacesh1p 08.09.16	Giroud is pretty great but he won't win you a league title on his own. He would be perfect in a rotation with another quality striker.
TheWrenKing 08.09.16	i don't hate him actually, and I find it quite entertaining as an outsider to see another club to be so frustrated with it's owner/manager for unwillingness to invest/stubborness respectively at least you didn't go TWO season with bobby "phenomenal" brown shoes
Spacesh1p 08.09.16	How he managed to get the Belgium job so quickly is beyond me.
Spacesh1p 08.09.16	Personally I'm pretty beyond frustrated at this point. Whether Wenga is truly the frugality king or our club is run by Americans like Americans (i.e. sports teams should be making money) will be come apparent once he is gone. Until then, I hope we don't get injured (yeah sure) and can put together a run to win something.
sempiturtle 08.09.16	Belgium hardly have a defence anyway so they might as well sign a manager that can get them to score 3+ goals a game.
Futures 08.09.16	hardly have a defense? you mean other than the duo of the best defensive team in the league last year alderweireld and vertonghen plus vincent kompany?
Spacesh1p 08.09.16	I think he means they hardly have a defense insofar as they have half of a very high quality defense and makeshift/no fullbacks.
sempiturtle 08.09.16	Yep the fact that they have to play Vertonghen and Alderweireld at fullback says it all really.
Futures 08.09.16	i mean meunier is pretty good psg just signed him.
TheWrenKing 08.09.16	lazio just signed lukaku's brother and he's a fullback too
TheWrenKing 08.15.16	first week over champions slayed by the mighty tigers
Sinternet 08.15.16	hull to win 2016
Sinternet 08.15.16	pleased with chelsea's performance today the boys did good
adr 08.15.16	will be an interesting season for sure. Pretty sure City, United and Chelsea all will be in top 4 this time.
TheWrenKing 08.15.16	snodgrass pfa player of the year
Nocturnalize 08.15.16	the pool arsenal game was bananas
Futures 08.15.16	good win for chelsea today.
Nocturnalize 08.15.16	im surprised about how little people have been mentioning chelsea this pre season, if hazard is in top form they'll be a force this season
Futures 08.15.16	hazard looked like himself today
Nocturnalize 08.15.16	ya he was amazing at the euros as well
Futures 08.15.16	conte seems to be giving the players more creative freedom which is awesome
Nocturnalize 08.16.16	no european competition this season is an advantage for them as well, same with pool. i have a feeling were in for a hell of a season
Sinternet 08.16.16	yeah gonna be interesting, all the big teams will be extra spurred on to do well given last year i think the only things chelsea need right now is a younger, pacier defender to come in and either start or be on the bench, and a greater focus on perfecting our final balls, because based on todays game we really improved on our closing down and keeping possession kante was a beast as well and just what we needed, we've been needing a player like him since Makelele left
Futures 08.16.16	well zouma is coming back soon and he will be great.
TheWrenKing 08.16.16	everton had me shitting myself a few times but we're definitely better than we were gueye and stek looked great
Nocturnalize 08.16.16	futures is right about zouma
Nocturnalize 08.16.16	dat coutinho goal tho
Sinternet 08.16.16	Coutinho goal was awesome When does Zouma get back? He was doing great at the end of last season
Futures 08.16.16	he got injured in february dude lol nobodies sure but it should be soon
Nocturnalize 08.16.16	that was a nasty injury hope he looks the same when he gets back
sempiturtle 08.16.16	As a West Ham fan today was worse than any performance from last season.
TheWrenKing 08.27.16	get fucked stoke
Titan 08.27.16	went to my first 'soccer' game the other day and it was awful....granted it was mls
Futures 08.27.16	yep chelseas winning the league
TheWrenKing 08.27.16	alphabetically
Nocturnalize 08.27.16	"yep chelseas winning the league" bold prediction my friend, the manchester teams aren't fucking around its gonna be a battle
rabidfish 08.27.16	Liverpool are definitely the wild card this season... They can so easily beat any top european club and lose to goddamned BURNLEY the next day. 50/50 chance they end up top 4 or lower mid table, who knows with Klopp lol. But seriously, they need a better striker, Moutinho is not a great player and lacks character. Mou v Pep's going to be great to watch. Both manchester's look strong af and today MU proved they can unlock the tightest and overpopulated of defenses. Bailly's been proving to be the best signing so far for United. Dude erradicates strikers from any chance they might get for a counter attack. I'm looking forward for a Costa-Bailly encounter, it's going to be very entretaining to watch.
Futures 08.27.16	conte is the man
Tunaboy45 08.27.16	It's between utd and city really this season but I wouldn't put it past chelsea to finish in the top 4. Spurs might have another good season.
Tunaboy45 08.27.16	If boro finish 14th that would be amazing, I'd be happy with anything other than relegation.
Futures 08.27.16	boro will stay up for sure
Tunaboy45 08.27.16	We're good at bottling it and that's why I'm slightly worried. If we can win tomorrow that would be a big help. I really want sunderland to stay up as well. Leicester are definitely gonna finish 10th.
Futures 08.27.16	lol no way sunderland escape by the skin of their balls for like the 5th year in a row. they're going down
rabidfish 08.27.16	let's hope this cat doesn't have another 4 lives more... They don't deserve another season on first division.
ZippaThaRippa 08.27.16	Boro have the look of a team that was WAY too good to be in the Championship. Think they'll have a solid midtable finish. There's plenty of competition for those relegation spots. Swansea are doomed, Sunderland's looking as shit as ever, Bournemouth will struggle.
ZippaThaRippa 08.27.16	But yeah, both of the Manchester teams are looking pretty stacked. Chelsea looks good as well. And Arsenal ALWAYS manages to do better than expected, somehow. Will be a tough season for Liverpool, Tottenham and Leicester to crack the top 4.
Futures 08.27.16	Chelsea Man U Man City Spurs Arsenal misses out on top 4 and Wenger finally fucks off
TheWrenKing 08.27.16	already regretting putting hull so low, although lets see how long they can keep up these amazing defensive performances with such a small squad
rabidfish 08.27.16	Man City Man Utd Chelsea Arsenal as of performances up to week 3/38
ZippaThaRippa 08.27.16	No chance in hell Spurs finish top 4. Poch is going to try and make a deep run in the CL. His heavily physical style is going to drain the team and they will have an epic fucking flameout in the latter half of the season. Mark my words they will be riddled with injuries, exhausted players, suspensions, you name it. Leicester won the league with physicality because they burned out early in all the other competitions.
Tunaboy45 08.27.16	Sunderland got lucky 5 seasons in a row so yeah they're probably going down, all that really matters though is that newcastle are stuck in the championship
ZippaThaRippa 08.27.16	You say that but HSV is still alive and kicking in the Bundesliga. Some teams are just very very hard to kill.
Futures 08.27.16	nope spurs are solid enough for top 4. i think they will get knocked out early in europe like they usually do
Futures 08.27.16	HSV signed the american god bobby wood they're winning the league
Tunaboy45 08.27.16	as long as kane doesn't embarass himself like he did at the euros, spurs could definitely finish top 4
Sinternet 08.27.16	i think spurs will underperform like hell this year tbh i can see us winning the league for sure, while both the manchester squads look great idk about the chemistry of the squad no way liverpool will do well this year, they always show up decently against big teams and then choke at lesser teams, predicting a solid 7th for them Burnley are definitely my wildcard this season, we destroyed them today but they have a lot of talent to use and their performances in the championship were stellar
DoofusWainwright 08.27.16	Spurs need to sign a creative mid, get the winger with pace in the team we've been dawdling over the deal for (forget his name, or Zaha if not) and put Dem eke back in the middle and Spurs will look better
Futures 08.27.16	liverpool is lol so inconsistent
Tunaboy45 08.27.16	@sinternet hold on I thought you supported brighton
TheWrenKing 08.27.16	guess I figured with a pre-season under his belt klopp would sort things out but nope
Sinternet 08.27.16	brighton is my local team/second team, chelsea are my team
ZippaThaRippa 08.27.16	There's nothing to sort out. His defense is weak. Middling CBs, terrible left back. Placing Milner at LB takes him away from the offensive side of things where he is best. Lots of forward players that don't track back. Liverpool needs a hardass midfielder to anchor the defense and keep the pressure off.
ZippaThaRippa 08.27.16	Why they haven't been in for Ricardo Rodriguez is fucking beyond me. Wolfsburg have money but there's no way they have more than Liverpool.
ZippaThaRippa 08.27.16	I'm pissed Brighton washed out in the playoffs. One of their players has the same name as me.
TheWrenKing 08.27.16	well, signing a proper left back would be part of sorting things out
PappyMason 08.27.16	I'm a Chelsea fan. We'll definitely be up there challenging for the title, but I'm not sure we'll win it. Too many question marks in defense and we seem to make hard work of scoring goals. If we do win, it won't have been easy
Futures 08.27.16	why hasn't anybody huge gone in for ricardo rodriguez? seems linked with man u every summer
Risodo 08.27.16	great list dude. but i bet in chelsea or united on the first spot.
Futures 08.27.16	lol lots of chelsea fans on sput
TheWrenKing 08.27.16	wolfsburg will lose draxler next season, rodriguez will probably follow
ZippaThaRippa 08.27.16	I don't get it either man. So many teams that would benefit from a quality left back. Surprised City don't go for him either, Kolarov is clearly not cutting it defensively.
ZippaThaRippa 08.27.16	"lol lots of chelsea fans on sput" Is that surprising? This site is FULL of cunts.
PappyMason 08.27.16	lol, speak for yourself
Futures 08.27.16	liverpool fans are the biggest losers imo
PappyMason 08.27.16	[2]
Futures 08.27.16	and arsenal
Valkoor952 08.27.16	@Futures Said one of the plastic Chelsea fans.
Futures 08.27.16	butthurt?
Valkoor952 08.27.16	There's nothing to be butthurt about. One club has history and legacy. The other has money.
Futures 08.27.16	go talk about how you won the league 100 years ago somewhere else kid
Valkoor952 08.27.16	Can you chelsea fans even count to a 100. I thought 15 was your limit, after all that's when you started really existing.
ZippaThaRippa 08.27.16	Nottingham Forest has history. It's currently doing them a lot of good.
ZippaThaRippa 08.27.16	I hear Norwich fans can count to 100 on their fingers
anarchistfish 08.27.16	Perez and mustafa boiiis
ZippaThaRippa 08.27.16	I'm gonna love hearing people say his full name in the coming months
Valkoor952 08.27.16	Zippa And that's why nottingham are a better club than Chelsea will ever be.
ZippaThaRippa 08.27.16	No... no that's not
TheWrenKing 08.27.16	stole perez from right under our noses
Futures 08.27.16	Can you chelsea fans even count to a 100. I thought 15 was your limit, after all that's when you started really existing. probably the most cringe worthy thing i've ever read
Tunaboy45 08.27.16	"Hi rio do u want picking up in the morning pal"- Wayne Rooney, 2011
Futures 08.27.16	Morning tweeps yesterday i watched the paranormal activity 3 and today am going to put it in the bin. too scary to watch- Victor Wanyama 2012
Tunaboy45 08.27.16	"58. Adam Johnson is stripped and ready to join the action"- Manchester City, 2011
Tunaboy45 08.27.16	one more, my personal favourite: "Thank you all for participating in the CR7 Boys Underwear Competition – it's been a real pleasure to see all of your photos."- Cristiano Ronaldo, 2013
Valkoor952 08.27.16	@Futures That's the same thing I said when I read how many fans came on your ulc parade.
Futures 08.27.16	dude you are digging yourself deeper and deeper into an unfunny hole
Sinternet 08.27.16	valkoor is desperately combing /r/soccer for a witty retort at this very minute
Futures 08.27.16	lol
Valkoor952 08.27.16	Unfunny hole ? It was never about being funny, but stating facts really.
Futures 08.27.16	the classic 12 year old funny XD just stating facts
Valkoor952 08.27.16	XD the classic trying to make fun of my comments because you know you have nothing to say to defend your "team"
Futures 08.27.16	run along kid you'll understand when your older
Valkoor952 08.27.16	"another le epic musical project from dilton deeboy XD i am young boy brazil darrel duboy saved me life come to rio!" Talk about funny stuff.
Futures 08.27.16	9 bumps and top sound off yeah i'd say so. keep digging man keep digging that hole
Valkoor952 08.27.16	9 bumps You must be proud of that man. You finally achieved something in your life, other than shitposting in every Snide thread ever.
Futures 08.27.16	you seem obsessed with me. jealous or something? please stop stalking me thanks.
Valkoor952 08.27.16	obsessed? ahah fucking next level irony
Futures 08.27.16	please stop stalking me thanks
Valkoor952 08.27.16	yeah you win man, can't argue with a brick wall.
Futures 08.27.16	i suggest logging off
Valkoor952 08.28.16	you just can't stop replying, you really need attention don't ya.
Futures 08.28.16	you're the one replying to me. keep dancing puppet i got you on strings
betray 08.28.16	i wanna get into EPL
betray 08.28.16	whos the worst team i'll pick them
betray 08.28.16	no wait second worst team
Nocturnalize 08.28.16	nah b your picking the best team and thats liverpool you'll never walk alone
betray 08.28.16	what is the actual second worst team tho
Nocturnalize 08.28.16	according to user thewrenking's list its hull city but imo cuz ur a nerd and bish i feel like either manchester team would be up ur alley
TheWrenKing 08.28.16	"its hull city" that was before they started wrecking shit tho also christ valkoor/futures get a room
Futures 08.28.16	no
zakalwe 08.28.16	Hulls fans are real deal. Lot of the Northern clubs fans are proper to be fair apart from Utd.
Sinternet 08.28.16	are we talking worst team as in performance or fans? because Spurs win both
zakalwe 08.28.16	Cheeky git.
danielcardoso 08.28.16	Man utd played really great yesterday, mou is setting up a very good team.
TheWrenKing 08.28.16	west ham though
zakalwe 08.28.16	Yeah they seem to be enjoying themselves. Definitely will be there or thereabouts at the end of the season.
Futures 08.28.16	zak is probably an arsenal fan they're all assholes
Futures 08.28.16	Man utd played really great yesterday, mou is setting up a very good team. you watch the same game as me?
Sinternet 08.28.16	arsenal: because if you can't win in real life, at least you can win on online polls
Valkoor952 08.28.16	You know it's very easy to talk shit about any team really, but is there a team that actually makes it hard ?
TheWrenKing 09.10.16	great derby so far
rabidfish 09.10.16	Man, Pogba is just a ghost on the pitch! 0 effect on the game, what a disgrace. Mou also made terrible decisions that cost him the game. Why didn't he play Mata from start? Why no Martial from the start? Otamendi killed it, and De Bruyne surely showed Mou what he's really made out of.
TheWrenKing 09.10.16	west ham though
DoofusWainwright 09.10.16	The boy kings finally tearing up the league
TheWrenKing 09.10.16	top 4's almost correct now, pity everton will ruin it by thrashing moyes
Nocturnalize 09.10.16	I feel bad for any team that has to go to Anfield after todays display
Nocturnalize 09.10.16	I feel bad for any team that has to go to Anfield after todays display
TheWrenKing 09.12.16	so much for that goal drought
ZippaThaRippa 09.12.16	I was suuuuuuuuuuper wrong about Sunderland. They are complete garbage as usual. 'I feel bad for any team that has to go to Anfield after todays display' lmao, if it's a bottom half team you just know they're gonna win 2-0
TheWrenKing 09.12.16	they'll go on and win 4-2 against chelsea and then get crushed by hull
Nocturnalize 09.12.16	You guys are wrong about Liverpool, that Burnley result was a fluke, pool won't finish lower then 4th
Nocturnalize 09.24.16	bump
rabidfish 09.24.16	Good for Utd for benching Rooney, team looked faster and took wiser decisions with the ball. Herrera is better than Fellaini for Pogba, who looks better on the offensive than doing the hard space-covering work.
Valkoor952 09.24.16	how you doin' futures
Sinternet 09.24.16	how do we still have no better choices than cahill and ivanovic for fucking fucks sake they are like 4 years past their prime
rabidfish 09.24.16	david luiz is SHIT... I thought Chelsea figured that out 2 seasons ago.
danielcardoso 09.24.16	You're a chelsea fan sint?
Deez 09.24.16	That Burnley game Liverpool had 80% possession and 26 shots. It definitely looks more and more like a one off. Liverpool and city are flying
anarchistfish 09.24.16	get absolutely fucked
TheWrenKing 10.15.16	all hail lord Stek, the flying dutchman
Deez 10.16.16	He'd looked sound everything I've seen him don't know why/if Koemans always being linked with a new number 1 (could be paper bollocks obvs)
Nocturtle 11.28.16	This is a fun season and fuck all the Liverpool haters
Deez 11.28.16	word
anarchistfish 11.28.16	lol man u 2nd and arsenal 6th
Deez 11.28.16	I fancy chelsea to win it. Keep hearing how Liverpool havent got europe but neither have they and have a better squad. Will be interesting to see how long coutinho is out with Mane going the african nations. Thats 2 out of the top 3 vital to Klopps system out.
rabidfish 11.28.16	Man Utd are finishing 6th if they're lucky... Mou better realize this soon and go all in for the EL since it's the only way he'll get CL next season (EL champion qualifies for CL right?)
Deez 11.28.16	That would be absolutely hilarious after slating Rafa after he won the Uefa with Chelsea. Theyll throw another 200 mill at it in the summer and carry on slagging city for buying success.
sempiturtle 11.28.16	West Ham fan. This season never happened.
ZippaThaRippa 11.28.16	This season is fucking shattering expectations. I don't get to watch much (any) West Ham, what the fuck is going on with them? It seems like Antonio is putting up some good highlights but... why are they so shit?
ZippaThaRippa 11.28.16	"(EL champion qualifies for CL right?)" Si senor, this is known as "The Sevilla Way"
Deez 11.28.16	that stadium hasnt helped
rabidfish 11.28.16	West Ham need a n°9 that can actually score some goals and get Payet back to being the best attacking midfielder of the league.
ZippaThaRippa 11.28.16	Easy. They should make Antonio their #9
Sinternet 11.28.16	yeah west ham are fucked atm, shame because i've always kinda liked them but anyway TOP OF THE LEAGUE FUCK EVERYBODY CONTE IS GOD
rabidfish 11.29.16	Conte is amazing agreed.
Nocturtle 11.29.16	Klopp > Cunte
Sinternet 11.29.16	lmao no
Nocturtle 11.29.16	well we beat you away and gonna spank you silly in at home so stfu nerd
