The Barclays Premier League thread 2015/2016

The Premier League has announced a decision not have a title sponsor from season 2016/2017. The move reflects the organisation's desire to mirror major American sports leagues like the NBA and NFL in presenting a 'clean' brand. Having been sponsored by Barclays since 2004, in 2016 the competition will be known simply as 'The Premier League'.
Predictions which will probably almost all turn out incorrect!
  • Chelsea will win the league
  • Man Utd second, Arsenal and City to squabble over third and fourth
  • Rodgers to be sacked before the season ends
  • Spurs to be better but ultimately fall short of the top four once again
  • Bournemouth will perform well and survive. Watford will finish bottom of the pile with at least one managerial change mid-season. Norwich will scrape survival at the expense of an established top flight team.

Sunderland fans buy flowers for Dick Advocaat's wife after he stays at club

And hey, screw you all, if I'm going to have three teams in the league then I'm sure as hell making the thread

<_<

A joke so bad that it never even occured to anyone that it might be intended as funny.

So typical Plubby fare then.

I don't get it :/

Ok so Lineker put news about 16/17 in the opening post of the 15/16 thread so the joke was that I was pretending that everything that's in the 15/16 thread is about the 15/16 season.

In all seriousness here's my predictions

  • Relegation Prediction: All 3 promoted teams. Depending on who Villa bring in and if players leave they'll be hovering around the relegation zone again.
  • Top of the League Prediction: Same as last year. Chelsea will win after the others flap it, Arsenal will go on a run of form from January, Man.City will disappoint and Man.Utd will finish 4th.
  • Underachieving Prediction: West Ham - Europa League campaign starting really early and if they stay in it for the long run will impact on their season. Also Tottenham, I think they'll drop down to 7th depending on who they bring in and if Harry Kane can have another good season.
  • Overachieving Prediction: Swansea- I think they'll do better than last season and have a good run of form and end up finishing 6th.
  • Biased Prediction: I think we'll finish 5th again, I've got a feeling it'll be a similar story as last season in which we'll fight for 4th and then crumble at some point after a good run of form. I think we will win the League Cup too.
  • Sack Race Prediction: No one will go before Christmas.

Don't worry, I'm sure Lineker will post the 16/17 thread in a few days.

  • Relegation Prediction: Watford, Bournemouth and Sunderland. Aston Villa will scrape by for a second time.
  • Top of the League Prediction: Chelsea to retain, Arsenal push for second, Manchester United, and Manchester City to round it off.
  • Underachieving Prediction: Everton to scrap near the bottom. Southampton fall down to the mid-table.
  • Overachieving Prediction: West Ham to finish around the Europa League, like Swansea.
  • Biased Prediction: Swansea finish in the Europa League, get to the semi final of the League Cup and do the double over two out of the top four again.
  • Sack Race Prediction: The man that's just been installed at Watford.
