More a matter of attrition - Chelsea is still a tire fire, Man U is bloated with payroll and little chemistry, Leicester lost a big piece of their success with N'Golo Kante going to Clelsea, Everton in my opinion did nothing to imporve and actually weakened themselves letting one of the top defenders in the league go off to Man City (and replaced with exactly whom?)

replaced with the guy who captained Wales to the Euro semi-final, Ashley Williams.

Everton's got the fresh coach, former Southhampton boss, and i think mgt is tired of sitting mid to lower half on the table.

oh, and how sh!t trickles down hill, Stones bolts for City and Everton picks off the Swans best defender, Ashley Williams, 2 days before the season, o'lay

I expect Liverpool to be top 4. Outside of that I'm not predicting where they finish.

The lighter schedule should be to their benefit. The main groan this off-season has been the lack of an additional left back. I truly believe Klopp is being hard-headed with Moreno and is out to prove a point. Whether that point proves to be a good one or a horrific one remains to be seen.

Kid plays like a donkey most days.

Remember that Anfield is getting an additional 8500 or so seats this season.

Check it...

Two trends I didn't want to see from last season carried over...

Bulls.hit injuries (Mane)

Losing to bulls.hit teams (Burnley)

The only positive I take from this week is Benteke is gone and Karius is recovering quickly.

I can't stand to watch Mignolet in goal much longer. He's the worst.

Future is bright. The off-season moves have helped tremendously.

Losing Benteke and Balotelli

The owners don't either but think they do.

This is the type of move that can get a team relegated. Ridiculous and a slap in the face to the team and former manager.

Brian your club is a tire fire. The good news is Sunderland belongs in League One. You only need to stay above 2 others. I'd hate to lose the only Welsh squad left at the top.

I have a feeling Crystal Palace is going to be hovering between 4-7th most of the season.

Bendonkey is a big get for them.

Agree - and also helps that they are a very cool club. American football cheerleaders, loud music, rowdy fan base, etc....a lot of fun to watch them pre-match.

I'm shocked at how poorly West Ham has come out, and how poorly their new stadium is being received. Still time to turn it around, but don't think anyone expected them to be where they are at the outset.

i had palace getting religated. Pardew sticks around just long enough to get the worst out of his players.

I'm also shocked how bad West Ham has come out, especially with the money they spent during the transfer.

what about some love for my Everton selection??!?!?!?!

If Swansea finish 17th then Bradley was the right decision.

The problem is most of the fans (as far as I can tell) wanted Giggs.

Last season with Liverpool was brutal and they made a similar move. Albeit with a far more proven manager. Was still tough to watch.

that was the majority of the people in Wales.
Even if he was a great player, hard to bring a guy like him, with no head coaching experience and say here, wer're in 17th, dig us out of this hole. He's either the GOAT or gone before the season ends.

Interested to see what bradley does, but the owners need to start spending some F;ing money. I saw an article that 3 teams actually MADE money during last transfer, and the Swans were one of them (everton and southhampton were the others).

West Ham being West Ham - Spurs remain unbeaten.

And what the hell has happened to Swansea City this season? Can't blame this all on Bradley - They're on dangerous ground.
