Who do you think will be the Premiership's 'surprise package' this season?
I think West Ham will improve on last season, quite a bit, and then other teams like Blackburn and possibly Fulham will surprise a few people. Man City have strengthened their squad, too, so I think they will do a lot better than last season. I reckon Newcastle will be pushing for a place in the top 6, as long as their squad stays fit.

Sunderland tbh,
I dont know maybe its because Keano is in charge, Maybe its because they went from bottom to top in the championship, granted liam miller saved them last night vs cork city, But i can for some reason see Sunderland in a Top 10 finish this year

Tbh, i think we have a good chance, especially with two home pre-season friendlies under the belt, also, we played outstanding against Juventus and Celtic, fully deserved the wins.
Also, despite how much i don't want to say this, i fully believe Sunderland will push for a top half finish.

Since when have pre-season results mattered though?
I think Sunderland will do reasonably well. I don't think they'll go back down.
I think City and perhaps Fulham could maybe exceed expectations.

I mean Celtic have had a poor pre-season I believe but to be honest it doesn't mean anything.

Since when have pre-season results mattered though? Pre-season friendlies matter imo, it gives a guide to how you team will play in th forth-coming season, and tbh, Newcastle have played outstanding in pre-season, i'll not speak too soon though

West Ham, I think they will come in the top 6. I think Spurs will be very impressive next season.

Results hardly matter in Pre Season. The whole point is to get Match Fitness up and try out new ways of play. For example, Valencia got slaughtered by PSG at the Emirates Cup Sunday, but you could see that they were trying the Long Ball Method the whole game, which they don't usually play.It's just a place to try new things out.

I'm predicting Arsenal to drop out of the top 4, Fulham to do well, Man City to be a huge flop, Sunderland to stay up.
Meh.
