[Football] Best Premier League Ever?

[Nameless]

Just looking at the squads of pretty much all the teams this could potentially be in terms of player ability the most talented premier league season ever? Shame fans probably won't be in the crowd to see it or at least not all of it .

Every year the premier league is tough but this season coming just looks like another level.. Pretty much every side is starting to make serious signings. Really hard to know what to expect this season. Still think all three promoted sides are in trouble but also wouldn't be surprised to see the likes of Burnley, Palace, Newcastle, Villa us Sheffield United and West Ham battling it out as well although I feel the last 3 I mentioned will be fine.

Expect City and Liverpool to be the top 2 but Chelsea, United and Arsenal drastically closing the gap. Everton just keep spending, Leicester and Wolves probably solidified as top half sides although both I think will drop a few positions. Southampton could be outsiders for Europe.

Really looking forward to this one but part of me feels like it'll be the hardest yet.

Does anyone else feel a similar way, or see it differently?

Doesn't this sort of thing get said every year?
Then 3 months in 'it's a really poor standard this year...'
Who'd making 'serious signings'?

Sure this thread appears every year. Yep some of the bigger sides have spent a decent amount of money but the league to me seems about as strong as last year - if not a touch worse looking at the sides coming up compared to those going down.

There is some serious quality throughout the League, thats for certain.

 

[Swansman]

Its good.

If its better than the era where PL teams usually used to occupy three or even four of the CL semi-final spots? Questionable.

There are some decent squads. Fortunately not the Leeds squad which still looks appalling.

Should be fun

Yeah.

I think the early replies are being a little harsh on the OP.


I do think for all the quality on the pitch, the technical areas do look a little light, which might be the downfall of the division.


Ollie & Maureen need to go, yesterday.
Chelsea Arsenal and ourselves are in very similar boats.

There is a Premier League football team who employs David Moyes - Let that sink in.

Plenty of the mid tables seem to be one trick ponies slowly getting found out.

There's nobody coming up with anything more than a bucket to spit in.



Chances are Steve Bruce might end up as one of the very best managers in this forthcoming season.

Only discovered this site a few months ago, so wouldn't know.

There was so much dross last season. Can't be much worse. Look how high Burnley finished for goodness sake.

A great Battle for runners up looks likely but we all know Leeds will have it wrapped up by March at the latest...

I wouldn't know about last year as haven't been on here that long.. I take your point about Watford and Bournemouth going down and teams coming up not being as good. However, West Brom play a great style to survive in the league, and Leeds and Fulham seem to be strengthening quite a bit. Nobody else has really weakened either?

Never. My bad. But three teams in three straight seasons 06/07 to 08/09.

Not sure really. At the moment I see West Brom getting as many points as Norwich next year. Can’t see Leeds or Fulham being any stronger than Watford or Bournemouth as it stands. No one has really improved down at the bottom end of the league either. Burnley and Newcastle look in real trouble in particular. Top 6 looks markedly better but we’re not really playing for those positions.

Never gets tedious or old does it, and the season hasn't even started yet?! Bring back Michael McIntyre!!

Crodo will be GUTTED that he didn’t get in first with this thread

Maybe he can run a sweepstake? I imagine he might get lucky in the draw and get Liverpool or City

Hopefully to good for our friends up the road

You can never tell though. Look how much Fulham spent 'strengthening' two seasons ago and how that worked out. (Although they still took four points off us).
