So, Who’s Gonna Win The League Then?
June 29, 2009 | Written by : Nick Webb
I’m not sure how I’ve been talked into this, but come next May, I’m sure to be embarrassed by these predictions for the 2009-2010 Premiership season.
First up - who’s going to win it?
Well, right now, Manchester United haven’t bought a replacement for either Ronaldo or Tevez, which they absolutely must do in order to compete for the title.
Presuming Benzema comes in - which looks likely - and assuming that Berbatov pulls his finger out, there’s absolutely no reason why United shouldn’t be in with a shout come the end of the season.
Their main challengers - Liverpool? I think Liverpool are likely to lose both Alonso and Mascherano and if they do, they won’t be in with a prayer.
Chelsea? Chelsea seem to be struggling to get players in and are also struggling to ship them out too. I can’t see a decent challenge from Chelsea unless they radically reshape their squad and there’s no indications that they will do that.
Arsenal? I’m going to stick my neck out here and say that Arsenal could run Manchester United close. Their end of season form, especially after bringing in Arshavin, was good and if they can get rid of a few of those disruptive influences like Adebayor and Gallas, then they could do well.
So, what about Manchester City? I’d like to see City crack the top four. Sod it, I’d like to see anyone crack the top four. If they get Tevez and Eto’o, they’ll have a phenomenal forward line and just need a quality central defender to shure up the defence.
I can see them taking Chelsea or Liverpool’s place in the elite of the Premiership for 2009-2010.
Feel free to come back to this article in May and have a damn good laugh at my expense.

Got something to say?
Liverpool if we get 2 good dribblers…and keep torres and gerrard fit for 85% of the games.
If the mighty ARSENAL get a good holding midfielder(like Melo)
no doubt we can win it
though everyone thinks man citys is going to be the champions,
i think manchester united are going to win it all, the pace in the side and all that expercence. as ronaldo and tevez has gone you have the chance to play flecher, J sung park and Gibbson for ronaldo (because you have to play him if he is fit).
(man citys players are there for the money!!)
Whos gonna win the league? Well i can see Manchester United in in 3rd this year because they made a BIG mistake losing Ronaldo.
Liverpool semm to hav gotten weaker losing Alonso but if they get a good replacement the they could come 1st or 2nd.
Chelsea, i will be truthful coz this is coming from a liverpool fan, Chelsea have a better chance of winning the league because unlike manU and liverpool the have gotten stronger.I think it will be a battle between liverpool and chelsea for top spot but if manU manage well without Ronaldo then they could grab the title again.
Manchester City……. if they can manage to work as a team this year and realise how each other play then they might be in with a chance of the top 3 next year but this season i reckon it’ll be 4th or 5th for them.
Aresnal. Getting asharvin was a good transfer for them but losing adebyor is not. If Asharvin can get most of the goals for them then i think its 4th or 5th.
Whos gonna be relagated? I think Stoke, Burnley and either Birmingham or Hull. I reckon the Wolves will just stay up.
Spanish league this year has to go to Real Madrid it just has to. Ronaldo, Kaka. Its a perfect team.
I cant decide the italian league. AC milan or inter milan.
So premiership is either liverpool (cmon liverpool!) or Chelsea.
Spanish is Real madrid
and italian is inter or Ac milan.
