Dick Advocaat WILL continue as Sunderland manager after all. Strange u-turn but I imagine a lot of people will be happy with it.
I'm pleased actually, I like the guy.

The other bottom three I was considering was Sunderland, Norwich and Leicester. I wouldn't be surprised if the relegation fight was closer than ever this season and we end up with 4-5 teams who can end up going down on the final day, which happened in 2011.
Or it's just as probable I'm talking bollocks.

I don't know, I could really see it going either way. Either they'll shock everybody and finish 13th or something, or they'll do a Blackpool. Play entertaining football but ultimately they just don't have the quality. I think the difference there will be the quality of manager and spending power. Judging by their transfers so far, they don't exactly look like splashing the cash. |

I think Bournemouth will be fine. It's obviously a huge step up but they will score goals. I don't know, I could really see it going either way. Either they'll shock everybody and finish 13th or something, or they'll do a Blackpool. Play entertaining football but ultimately they just don't have the quality. |

Anyone else struggle to come up with a bottom three?

Oh and Derby, Middlesbrough and Wolves to go up from the Championship.

Yes, silly early predictions.
1. Chelsea
2. Arsenal
3. Manchester United
4. Manchester City
5. Liverpool
6. Tottenham Hotspur
7. Everton
8. Stoke City
9. Swansea City
10. West Bromwich Albion
11. Crystal Palace
12. Southampton
13. Newcastle United
14. Aston Villa
15. Norwich City
16. West Ham United
17. Sunderland
18. Leicester City
19. Bournemouth
20. Watford
Chelsea are still too strong. Arsenal will come close but fail. Man City to decline and end up just scraping CL qualification. Everton will improve without being in the Europa League but it will harm Southampton and West Ham's seasons.
Norwich to be the only newly promoted club to survive while Leicester can't repeat last season's turnaround. Once again, I'm not predicting Sunderland to go down because they look like they will every year but still manage to stay up.

Bloody hell it's getting boring now. Don't worry, it's over now. Villa got embarrassed, we all had some laughs, they won't be in another final for a long time. Let's move on. |

According to Twitter, a Villa supporter bet his house and his life savings on Villa winning the FA Cup....because a psychic told him to. You couldn't make this stuff up (or maybe you could).
Also, Newcastle in talks with Patrick Vieira about becoming manager. Would be a huge risk if it happens.

Are you two planning to gloat about them achieving safety before Sunderland did or knocking West Brom out of the cup on the way to the final they're about to enjoy? Just wondering. 10 years in the wilderness and suddenly you're getting cocky.... Oh and they won't be enjoying that final so much when they get hammered by Arsenal. And surprise surprise, Villa get thrashed. Sherwood on the verge of tears will bring me much joy next season. |

Thought you were talking about the Women being added to FIFA 16 for a second there  Hope we get the WC out of all this! Would definitely save up and go to the final. Once in a lifetime experience that. Yeah unlike Brazil we actually want the damn thing. |

And so the short-lived Big Dick era at Sunderland comes to an end.
Who's next to get sacked in March?

Norwich back up at the first attempt. Alex Neil has done a great job.
Hopefully they don't become boring bastards like they were under Hughton.

Disappointed not to even finish in the top 4 considering I lead the table near the halfway point. Oh well.
Next season is our season!
