I saw this too in the paper this morning and almost spat my cornflakes out.
Sorry Tel but this is bonkers.
Cant argue with the top 3, but the rest of it is a shambles.
4 - TOTTENHAM
5 - LIVERPOOL
6 - ARSENAL
Would be quality.
That would be quality but it wont happen.
I still think the top 4 will be the same as last year. I think we'll still finish above Liverpool, they've brought some utter g@sh.
Bolton wont finish 19th and WBA wont finish 8th tho!
Bolton will be comfy mid table and Spurs 7th
I think spurs will struggle to reclaim that 4th spot,the Thursday nights and the fact they should go much further in the Europa will bring real pressure on a squad with relatively few quality players in it.Liverpool may not have bought top class signings but only a fool would dismiss their chances as arsenal are considerably weaker,spurs are the same albeit with their best player wanting out and Liverpool having no European matches to distract them.Sunderland,villa and Everton could well be pushing for top 6 spots also without a European distraction so it's going to be tough
just staying in the top 6 for spurs never mind 4th.
Tell me the difference between playing Wednesday and Saturday / Thursday and Sunday.
I doubt we'll get "further" in the Europa than we did in the CL. We got to the QFs!! The Europa has some decent teams in it and i'd be surprised if we played all our big guns in the games. So effectively if we "rest" our top players for Thursday nights shouldnt we be in a better position than last season (i.e. players having a week off to rest as opposed to two games in a week?!)
Because champions league games are tues/wed and more often than not it's still Sunday afterwards.We hardly ever play on Saturday's anymore
4,5,6 could be any way round imo.
don't think bolton will be that low either.

Play Sunday
Play Tuesday / Wednesday
Its the friggin same!
It's not the same
Europa is thursday and Sunday,always only 2 days in between
CL is Tues/wed and sat/sun so the rest in between varies between 3 or 4 days
Thursday - Sunday = 3 days
Sunday - Tuesday/Wednesday = 2 or 3 days
Go figure.
