I like that idea, making predictions and reviewing them later. I don't think either me or Steed could have predicted how this season ended for us and it'd be fun to find some of our old comments and read them in hindsight.

Vardy got an England call up?!

Can't wait to see Sunderland lifting the trophy.

Legit though, I'm not sure how next season will play out. Lots of teams did really well this year and then seemed to fall away into oblivion - especially West Ham. And although Man City have come in second place pretty emphatically, I'm guessing they hadn't planned on following up their win with this season - Chelsea really had a firm lead on them practically the whole season. Meanwhile teams like United have done better but still have failed to recapture past glories.

I think Arsenal, if they are able to recapture their later season form from the start next year, could have a genuine chance to win it next year.

Agreed. Well, I will give it several weeks before making my predictions. Might be fun. As some gentleman on this thread pointed out, I was waaaaaay off with my QPR safe prediction.

I wait for the transfer market then give my opinion for next season but we can't win the title next season Pizzamorg.

Does Koscielny not deserve a shout Tob? I haven't seen as much arsenal as you obviously but when I have he has impressed me.

[David LFC]

Good shout with Fonte another good season for him, went with Terry and Cahill as they are a pair.

Few rumours going around about money and Walcott for Sterling. I can't see Arsenal or Chelsea matching the fee that we want but he wants to go back home to London

We don't need another similar player of Sterling at Arsenal but i think Man.City will lead the race for him.

City will pay him mad money 120-200k a week no way is he worth that.

Hoping we can wrap up a deal for Milner a player I like a lot

Milner is a player i would like to see at Arsenal he can make a difference and is not the same type of player Wenger always go for.
We won't know anything official from Man.city until next week so we see what happens.

Few journalists has Lpool leading the chase for Milner hopefully that's the case.

It's a big summer for few clubs regarding transfers can't afford to buy anymore Lovrens or youngsters this coming season we need proven players.

If Chelsea get another goal scorer I can't see anyone stopping them again next year

He's under pressure but has all the signings been his signings or the committees signings that's the thing no way was Balotelli Rodgers signing.

Two weeks before Balotelli signed Rodgers said he had no interest in him and he wasn't just saying that to get a lower fee.

We don't get right players in summer it will take another 5 or so years before we can challenge for Champions League and Title again
