Premier Predictions

Well bugger me it’s back. After a summer full of more tittle-tattle than an at-home Ann Summers party (you should hear the missus and her mates guffawing like some Teesside coven - chilling), we are proud to announce the return of The Best League In The World. Or the Fastest. Or, if you have a degree in Creative Accounting, the Richest.

The curtain-raiser was surprisingly provocative. I say make it a derby every year regardless and we might have some fireworks instead of the usual just-off-the-sun-loungers/plane from Malaysia torpor. But is that a pointer to the rest of the season?

Here’s Robbo’s predictions... and remember punters, I am the man who put the ‘Damn!’ into Nostrodamus.


ARSENAL

Wenger’s team increasingly resembles a dimly-remembered boy band who had a couple of hits in the early 80s and now hang around outside China White’s hoping the doormen will recall what they used to do.

So far Arsene has studiously avoided strengthening his squad in the right areas. Still no Cahill or Jagielka – just another flashy frontman with a bootlace for a headband. They’re too easy to score against. And for the Joy of Cesc, let the lad go. The top four is beyond them. 6th.


ASTON VILLA

Look just cos McLeish dumps Brum in the mire doesn’t mean Villa get the rebound effect. It’s not as if HSBC are lining up to hire Sir Fred Goodwin is it? (And here he is looking like a bloated Jimmy Somerville).

Villa have offloaded their hard-working wingers Young and Downing and replaced them with a French Stephen Ireland. N’Zogbia is wonderful if he can keep his noddle together, but he won’t be the alpha male at Villa. Not so much a new dawn as the same day as yesterday. 8th.


BLACKBURN ROVERS

Well it’s great for us to have a bloke called Goodwillie in the League (my missus’s relatives are called Badcock – true – so if you’re name’s UglyKnob let us know and we can put together a Spaghetti Porn Western).

The Foghorn Leghorns in charge have been crowing about capturing some Galactico or other ever since they arrived at Ewood. No one’s showed up yet. Jones has gone, Samba wants to fly the coop, and the whole thing's going off half-cock. Kean will be the first to bite the managerial bullet.

Anyway I’d rather walk the M25 (in the fast lane) than watch Blackburn. Fingers crossed for 18th.



BOLTON WANDERERS

Bolton have been mixing up the humps up to Elbows Davies with a nodding reacquaintance with the Reebok grass. They’ve got a ruddy awful start, fixtures-wise, mind, and they’ll need to scavenge from the big boys again for a bit of creative nous. Could be tough but my wife has always had faith in the Coyle, so... 11th


CHELSEA

Well who the hell knows what to expect here? Roman’s brought in a new broom and the old dust is still lying about the dressing-room. It’s the age-old conundrum for Villas-Boas. How do you get complacent money-bagses to keep it up all-season long? And how the hell do you get Fernando Torres to stop thinking he’s a poor white trash Emile Heskey? And why is Salomon Kalou? 3rd.




EVERTON

How’s the song go... Fairly Cross Ol’ Moysey? Not a whisper from the Toffees in the transfer market save for the Mo Cyzslak looky-likey clinging on to Jagielka and Rodwell like a Christmas kid refusing to share his selection box. While Kenwright’s delving behind the sofas, Moyes'll be lining up the 4-5-1 and praying to God that Saha stops breaking down like a Jeremy Kyle show housewife every five minutes. They’ll start the season like a traction engine and finish it like a dragster all over again. 7th


FULHAM

You kind of forget they’re still there somehow. Everyone’s favourite nightclub bouncer Martin Jol is in charge now. They’ve got Gudjohnsen and Riise for a bit of nous, Zamora’s fit, it’s a tidy squad. Were it not for that fucking Michael Jackson statue you could start taking them seriously. 9th.



LIVERPOOL

Oh shite, another dawn beckons. Can avuncular Kenny keep that Mona Lisa smile for the next nine months, or will he just be another Moaner?

Dalglish’s midfield is so filled with options he'll end up like a pissed bloke at a curry house and find he’s ordered too much. And if he has, then Jordan Henderson is the unnecessary tarka dhal, Joe Cole is the stale naan, and Steven Gerrard the disappointingly lacklustre signature dish.

Having said all that Suarez and Carroll, if he can stay upright on a bar-stool for the season, could be the best front two that's yet to appear in Nuts magazine. THIS COULD BE THEIR YEAR... but it won’t be. 4th.


MANCHESTER CITY

Oh I’m just bored of ‘em already. All that money and they turn out a team to play Allardycean footy. Dzeko’s a dzoke. Balotelli’s bonkers. Tevez continues to say he’s thirsty for a change – mainly cos he adores the Kia Aura of his agent. They’ve bought a chump in Clichy. And the best English winger of the last ten years continues to see more cameos than your average Antiques Roadshow art expert. For Chrissakes Adam Johnson, leave, son!

Clearly Mancini will muscle them up the table a little further in a way that shows all the daring of a pensioner booking a coach tour to Bournemouth. They’re Blackburn Rovers with genuine money. 2nd.


MANCHESTER UNITED

The great thing about Ferguson is every time he reinvents a team it’s like there’s a new club in town. Cleverley, Jones, Wellbeck, Smalling – they all, like Rooney (despite the patchy top weave) look like old heads on young shoulders.

Now no doubt, His Puceness will be flinging the usual pot-shots at the FA, the refs, the everybody who isn’t us brigade, and it’s amusing that a club that’s spent like they have this summer can still get away with a somewhat Redknappian line of appearing like the poor relations. But it’ll be fascinating to see how this team kicks on. I can’t see ‘em not winning it. And I’d rather them than the big lunks across town. 1st, dammit.


NEWCASTLE UNITED

You’ve got to worry for poor old Pards, haven’t you? Well you’ve got to worry for anyone who has to work with Joey Tweet-Tweet Barton.
(I say put Barton and Balotelli in the Big Brother House, turn the cameras off for the night, and send in forensics first thing in the morning).

If they don’t start well, I can see it being bum-squeakingly bad all season. They’ll scrape it though but... and Ba’s a top signing. (You don’t want to be signing for Swansea with a surname like that.) 15th.


NORWICH CITY

Good pies at Carrow Road, they tell me. That’s what’d comfort me if I were a fan. 3-down to Spurs at half-time? So the fuck what, I’ve got a Delia steak n ale and I’m a happy man. They’re so busy planning for the drop they’ve probably bought a birthing pool and their own gas and air. 20th.



QPR

Anagram fans will welcome back Neil Warnock. “Colin’s” main job is to keep hold of Adel Taarabt, a man who you can’t mention without using the word ‘mercurial’. (A similar relationship exists between the words ‘Hamilton’ and ‘reckless’; or ‘Flintoff’ and ‘pedalo’).
Word is the R’s will be charging £72 a ticket which may be no more than a bit of metal in the fluff of your Paul Smith jacket for the likes of Briatore and Middle Earth’s very own Ecclestone, but it’s a cynical fucking hike on the purse-strings of the poor saps who sat through years of non-achievement with grim resignation. For that reason alone, 19th.


STOKE CITY

Pulis is a permanent scowl isn’t he?
Slowly but surely we are learning to love the stout yeomen of the Potteries. And like us, they are learning that life doesn’t start and end with the towelette attachment to Rory Delap’s shorts. There's a kind of charm in their charmlessness.

As long as they prepare a comfy corner of the physio’s room for Jonathan Woodgate I think nowt much’ll change. An honest to goodness 10th.


SUNDERLAND

I think Steve Bruce is just a shite manager? Never has a man presided over a team that positively binges on bad results. Unlike Brucey, Sunderland are downright bulimic.

As ever he’s lobbed some lucre about and ended up with a couple of creaky artisans from Fergieland and a likely lad in Connor Wickham. When I heard Bruce had bagged him I thought he must be a Ghanaian called Can’t-ee Kick’em.
Mackems prepare for more feast or famine. 14th.


SWANSEA CITY

Look I don’t know if their fans care two hoots about this season given that after watching Cardiff finish three successive promotion-chasing seasons like one of them twats in a home-made flying machine jumping off Brighton pier, they've got there first.

Nice to have Angel Rangel back on Match of the Day, mind, joining the ranks of Looney Rooney, Patchy Squillaci and Stephen Hunt. The Swans will play some nice stuff but can they hold out at the back? I give ‘em a hope. 17th.


TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR

On Saturday, there was a worry that Modric had secretly joined Man U but it turned out it was just one of the mascots holding hands with Carrick (and increasingly Carrick needs his hand holding). Still here is, still trying out an all-blue kit.
‘Arry must be gagging to trim the squad of some expensive weeds, mind.

David Bentley must be there to breathe out carbon dioxide for the house plants. And I swear I saw a card advertising Robbie Keane’s services in a telephone kiosk last time I was in London.

It’d be nice to think Spurs will tiptoe into the top 4. But there’s more chance of Sepp Blatter retiring gracefully to an Alpine log cabin (and if he does I’ll be the one hollering from the ski lift in a bid to start that avalanche). 5th.


WEST BROMWICH ALBION

Roy worked the wonders he can work with lesser mortals last season. Give him top-of-the-range internationals like Joe Cole and he hasn’t got a clue.

No reason to believe he can’t weave more magic this year. The resources look meagre but then again the chairman has done this really weird thing of trying to balance the books rather than go pissing in the Arabian or Mid-West American wind for a slush fund. They’ll be fine, man. 12th.


WIGAN ATHLETIC

N’Zogbia’s gone now. Cleverley’s back in red. Who’s left? And where the hell did they come from? Martinez is the one huge plus for the Latics and his bit of nous should see them clamber up the table a little.

But they really are becoming an unfeasible tale of survival – in 2012, prepare yourself for the story of how, trapped under a fallen bus, Hugo Rodallega manages to cut off his own arm and arrive at the DW just in time to nod in a far-post winner and consign Blackburn to relegation. 13th


WOLVES

Ah, doughty old Mick. As bluff as they come, he makes Geoff Boycott sound like a Harrow-educated diplomat. If you aren’t chuffed that Wolves stayed up then you’re either a Baggie or a berk.

Having said that there’s nowt complicated about the Wolves way. And now if you get past Karl ‘De Jong’s a Pussy’ Henry you’re going to run into Joltin’ Roger Johnson or George Elokobi, who eats brick shithouses for breakfast. Enough spine to stay another day. 15th.

That's it. Boro for the FA Cup, obviously. Obviously.

  6. Man u for the title, after that second goal at wembley you'd have to be a chump to bet against it

    Chelsea and man city are both more talented versions of stoke. Arsenal remain the anti-Stoke, the two teams are locked forever in a binary embrace of matter and anti-matter and when they meet on a wet Wednesday night football itself will cease to exist

    Stoke for relegation, will wigan and swansong

  7. Robbo tipped us to finish 6th, so either glory bekons or gunners will be involved in a relagation battle...

  8. Yep, once again, as in previous years the Spurs are predidicted to finish higher then Arsenal.

    Now I know we'll have a good season.

    Bring on Oxo-cube-Chamberpot.

    ps If L'pool finish 4th then this IS their year.

  11. Seriously, Wigan 13th??? I reckon you've had a mare with that one!

    I don't think you can rule out Arsene either, he's never failed to reach the top 4, but it really is 4 from 6 this year (assuming Spurs buy a quality striker to add to the decent ones they do have rather than just buying any good midfielder!)

    ReplyDelete
  12. Sadly, no one but Man U can win the league this time. Even sadder, Robbo has put the curse on liverpool. What he really meant guys is that Liverpool finish 6th and arsenal 4th.

    Also, from the previous blog

  17. Cracking blog Robbo. Must remember not to read it in the uni library though. Giggling like a little girl isn't a great look for a 'mature' student.

    Spurs for 5th? I'd be happy with that, but I think Thursday nights playing European football in Uzbekistan might derail our season slightly. And I've a good feeling about Chelsea this season. Mind you, I also thought they'd go undefeated last year after their blistering start, so don't believe anything I say.

    Unfortunately, I think we're all just waiting for Fergie to die so a morally decent team can win the league again. The shit.

  18. That was me by the way.

  19. if fergies and co are leading the rioting, bisq, he's an even bigger twat than I thought

    ReplyDelete
  20. BBC reports '200 masked youths on the streets of Toxteth, Liverpool'. Why does that make the news? Normal business in Toxteth.

    blog, Fergie is orchestrating all rioting across the country. Fact. As reported by The Wirral Herald's newest reporter, R. Benitez.

  25. Top blog Robbo.
    6th for us, really?? No way. I dont think so. Well, we surely will finish above Spurs.

    My predictions
    1) It could be anybody's... especially team that plays well from New Year onwards
    2-7) Man C, Chelsea, Arsenal, Spurs, Liverpool and Everton
    8-17) the usual teams and one of the newly promoted to survive
    18) Wigan
    19) QPR
    20) Norwich (but seriously would like it more if its the Horwich-Franchisers..the green and yellow scarf wearers ;)

  26. ohh forgot to add,
    you all please be safe and away from riots.

    ReplyDelete
  27. also want to add,
    welcome home Alex Chamberlain. Good luck for the season.

    ReplyDelete
  28. You did it again.

    Predict Spurs to finish above Arsenal.

    They might do it, you know. THen again, they might not.

    Also, didnt you predict Chelsea to win the league last season?

    I reckon this might be the kiss of death that ManU needed to hinder them defending the league title.

    we'll see.

    but the most important thing is, FOOTY is back. And about bluddy time.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Arsenal have opened the door for Samir Nasri's £25m move to Manchester City.

    And we're top of the league.

  31. Robbo, having read your blog for some years now i still can't believe how much you still love to brown-nose fergie. Your wee insights etc are amazing and always very humerous. Its enjoyable stuff! No doubt you could come up with some punchy put-down for me leaving you this comment for you.

    I understand blogs are all about the individual's opinion, but you are being a nob-head by licking fergies arse all the time. We get it, you think he's amazing....did you ever see that Channel 4 dispatches about Bryan Robson & Fergie?? You and that guy from Bangkok - Joe Simms - would get on well.

    ReplyDelete
  32. eh up, jacks.

    it can only go downhill.

    ReplyDelete
  33. As you well know Spits.

    4 trophies.....

    ReplyDelete
  34. yes.

    ah well.

    contrary to widespread gloom, I believe we'll be al right this season. You dont have to beat everybody to end up at top. Its enough if you beat everybody below the top 4.

    ReplyDelete
  35. also reckon, Ipswich and Westham might clinch promotion directly.

    Forest and Leicester for the play off final.

    ReplyDelete
  36. Yesterday's Times had all their sports writers doing the prediction thing.Most had a top 4 of Un**ed,City,Chelsea and Ar***al.

    ReplyDelete
  37. I fancy Forest to win it.There home form over the last couple of seasons has been superb,away however has been dreadful.They have a bloody good manager now,so just need to improve away.

    ReplyDelete
  38. So England's friendly is off.

    Blessing in disguise, I tells ya.

    was pointless to begin with.

    ReplyDelete
  39. ...door opened for Man C to sign Nasri for 25m & also from somewhere Barca give us 35m for Cesc. I hope these 2 deals happens soon. Then I also hope we steal the thunder from under Fergie’s red nose and sign Wesley Sneijder for 35-40m. Whatever his valuation is… :)
    It is good to dream and they say day dreams come true :P

    ReplyDelete
  40. Forest seem like a team that has forgotten how to win when it really matters because they havent for so long. Bit like arsenal.

    They'll do well but I dont think they'll win direct promotion.

    West ham have probably the best midfield int he championship and a manager astute enough to make sure the team is geared to stop the opponents scoring more than they would try to score themselves.

    In parker, nolan and like, they have enough creativity as well.

    ReplyDelete
  41. Another night of riots and now the friendly's been called off. Leaving aside the fact it's a stupid time for a friendly anyway what the fucking hell is up with this cuntry (not a misspelling).

    I'd say get the army in to help police London but we've sent everyone out to Afghanistan and Libya and sacked anyone who isn't out there. If that's not enough we had a train full of these twats come to Medway and start causing the same shit here.

    ReplyDelete
  42. Anyway, had to get that off my chest. Footy.

    Well I think it's a straight fight between Arsenal and Spurs for 5th unless either team does something to address their problems.

    Of course it doesn't help that we need to sell a striker to buy a new one and Levy's got his clown hat on thinking anyone would pay 14 mill for the Russian misfit.

    ReplyDelete
  43. Overpade-Chamberpot seems like a dangerous last throw of the dice purchase to me. Arsene "4 Trophies" Wenger is brazening out the same buy em-young-piss-off-your-established-stars-who-then-spend-years-trying-to-leave policy.

    As I posted above Alex's dad was great at the vale and then shit don't know why . Alex is a different man but that huge fee is a massive gamble for yet another unproven speedster when you've got zero decent fit centre backs.

    Is this the Gamblers Fallacy? if you keep buying the same type of player, Arsene, then ONE of them is bound to prove a world beater? Well let's hope so for the national team, but his dad was similarly massively hyped....

    Arsene has said he won't sell cesc and Nasri if he can help it. So Fabregas is going nowhere and looks increasingly like a footballing Elizabeth fritzel. How long will he put up with it. Nasri (just one year left on his contract) to city, cesc to join the firefighters, nurses, teachers on the picket lines. Not the kind of striker Arsene needs.

    ReplyDelete
  44. I meant he won't sell BOTH cesc and Nasri. I guess we'll see.

    ReplyDelete
  45. Asked about the riots Ryan gigs said he was coming to smash a few back doors in

    ReplyDelete
  46. students are much more pissed off about them fee hikes than any of us ever imagined

    ReplyDelete
  47. David Cameron has promised 16,000 coppers will be out patrolling & beating the shit out of anyone on the streets tonight.

    If I was head of the ACPO, I'd want a few agitators out there, cheering on the rioters to get some extra money and increase the size of the legalised yob brigade.

    Just impose a fucking nightly curfew and get those frigging rioters off the streets. A few water cannons and some rubber bullets ought to do the job. I'll even volunteer to drive one of them water cannon -- I don't think they'd trust me with a gun.

    Oh, and another thing. Useless as it is, the England squad are already all together in their luxury hotel. Why not just charter a plane and relocate the game to Holland, and then Capello can always cry "jet-lag" or even "wag-shag-lag" when England lose.

  48. should have paid more attention to the kaiser chiefs when they predicted a riot or talked of the angry mob

    ReplyDelete
  49. I'm not going to write off Arsenal's season just yet - there's still 3 weeks of transfer activity to come, and Arsenal need to sell first I think. I shall save my put downs until the 1st September. I'm hoping the situation at the Lane will be a similar one. Star - you really don't like Pav do ya?! I love him as a player - I think he's the best striker we have. A bit hit and miss, yeah. But given a run of more than a few subs appearances and he may become that 20-25 goal a season striker that we need. Whenever I see the team sheet and he's on it, I look forward to the game. Whenever I see Crouch's name, I swear at the missus.

    I think Forest seem to be the Arsenal of the Championship - fading away at the business end of the season. I hope they do well this season, but not at your Tractor Boy's expense Jacks. I'd like Paul Jewell to do well - he's a great manager I think.

  50. I'm all excited about the footie coming back, but I have a feeling that a lot of the games will be cancelled. Just seen the aerial footage of London ablaze looking like a scene from Black Hawk Down, and White Hart Lane in the middle of all the smoke! This may set our stadium plans back if the local council have to redevelop the wrecked areas instead of contributing to our stadium. What a bunch of cunts.

    Arsenal fans - how bad is Vermaelen's injury? He's in my FFL team.

  51. @Anonymous Noel: "This may set our stadium plans back if the local council have to redevelop the wrecked areas instead of contributing to our stadium."

    "According to Associated Press, Published: Aug 8, 2011 20:16 Updated: Aug 8, 2011 20:16

    LONDON: Premier League football club Tottenham says it will help rebuild the disadvantaged north London neighborhood after a weekend of riots and looting."

    Looks like Tottenham are going to be helping the Council!

  52. blogs - there was a little snippet on the BBC story covering Oxtail-Chambermaid's move to the Arse about his father - said he was a great player for Stoke and Portsmouth. Poor old Vale getting robbed of the glory again??

    Personally, I think Arsene missed the opportuntity when unveiling Chamberlain's signing. If I was the PR guru at Arsenal I would have had him on the steps of a plane flapping the contract saying that this was a player for our time, or summat. Innit. Word.

  58. I dunno Noel. It just seems every time he gets a run of games he winds up being very wasteful with the ball.

    I'm amazed no-one's taken Kranjaer off of our hands. Not that I want him to leave but he's a decent midfielder and we all know he wants to get more games.

    ReplyDelete
  59. If Moyes can find enough loose change down the back of the club sofa, we'd take Krancjar in a shot!

  60. @Anonymous Noel: Sorry about the three-in-a-row. You could think up a three sentence/paragraph post and past it one sentence/para at a time.

    The Norwegians are in the news again -- no nutter/terrorist this time, but get this "Pregnancy is contagious":

    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-14442709

    Hope I don't catch it! Er, hold on, I'm supposed to be the one making the pregnancy happen. Just as bad as being a nutter, I s'pose.

    Aaargh! It's all the fault of them left-wing frigging social-worker types, trying to find out why teenagers like sex and how some of them don't bother with contraception. Me, I blame it all on lust and the just get-on-with-it whenever and wherever you can attitude.

    Oh, to get my youth back again.

  61. Well luckily Pienaar is out for 6 weeks after chosing the week before the season starts to have groin surgery, so that should put Niko on the bench at least. I've no idea why Harry brought Pienaar. Looked good at Everton, but so does Tony Hibbert. Almost as disappointed about the the lack of squad trimming as I am about the lack of signings. Like I said, still time yet though.

    Test Match Special Producer Adam Mountford on Twitter: "MS Dhoni says India are happy to play Test and is leaving all security arrangements to the authorities."

    I wonder if we would have done the same if this happened when we were in India? Or maybe Dhoni is going all out to take attention away from the fact that his boys are getting walloped.

  73. H,

    the Stan re-mix is brilliant indeed.

    The software ExpatShield I have been using for over a couple of months no and no problems till now.

    No hidden and or malicious stuff.

    Only bothersome thing is that it opens an ad tab in your explorer which can be dealt with the complex operation of clicking on the x in the top right corner.

    Its almost impossible to have a team you're happy with. Djourou costs 6m this season. Here's hoping Cheik Tiote has a blinder of a season.

That way all those whingeing domestic violence victims and meddling good samaritans would be put off. The new number would go straight through to a Turkish newsagents in Dalston, who would then turn up mob-handed with his mates, all of them armed with kebab skewers and a sense of vigilante righteousness. This new system would require no actual police and only a passing interest in the Police and Criminal Evidence Act.

    According to a senior source at the club, all the funds generated by the sale will be reinvested in new players.

    Arsenal have been linked with Scott Dann, Phil Jagielka and Gary Cahill.

    The BBC understands a fee of £30m, plus over £5m of additional performance-related payments is close to being reached.

  169. Tommy, I don't fancy your chances of seeing a lot of play on Saturday.

    I think we need more than Scott Dann Spit, one of either Phil Jagielka or Gary Cahill, or another decent CB is needed.

    That lady states the obvious Spit but sometimes we don't always see the obvious. "This is about a man who got shot in Tottenham, it's not about running down the road and having fun and busting up the place. Get it real black people, get real." But then again, this isn't (as an outsider looking in) about a man getting shot in Tottenham either. In retrospect, it is something that was always going to happen somewhere, at sometime. The erosion over time of all forms of descipline of minors through such bodies as unicef, child welfare agencies and the courts have created the lack of respect of others and the property of others that appear so prevalent in todays young people.
