2019-20 English Football Season Thread

Guess this is happening, might as well start a thread about it. Poll closes before the first match so let's see how we get on with relatively blind predictions!

Top news already churning through about Manchester United. Thanks to the BBC football front page for letting us know this vital and dramatic news!

Man Utd were teetering on greatness last season and certainly gave the top two a run for their money. I thought with the quality of our squad, we were a couple of world-class signings away from a period of domination. Now we've signed Obi-Wan Bissaka and a winger from the Championship... I think this is gonna be our year.

Utd to win the league.

I think if Utd are a named option, you might as well list Everton as well.

I have to say, I really enjoyed last year's title race and I think this year will be hard pushed to beat it. I think Liverpool might edge it this season, and I promise I'm not trying to jinx it. (maybe a little)

For Everton, I'd take top 7. Last season was a bit disappointing as we hit some really decent form in the end, but weren't consistent throughout the season. I'm hoping a lack of European football will put us in good stead. We're in dire need of reinforcements up top, where we never replaced Lukaku. I'll be happy with a decent striker, a solid centre back (signing Zouma is probably unlikely with Chelsea's transfer ban), and keeping Gueye. Really pleased we signed Gomes.

Oh, and some progress on the new stadium would be good too.

Wolves year

Can't see past Manchester City domination again. I think Liverpool will struggle to replicate last season and instead might find themselves in a closer battle with Spurs. As for the other three members of the big 6, who even knows? I'm sure one of them will do surprisingly well, one of them will do okay and the other will be pure comedy. Couldn't tell you which team will perform which role though.
