season 6 winners.....

Any early predictions lads?

D1 - City, (Sorry Ger curse of death!!) With the signings already in the bag has to be in with a strong about of 3 in a row!
D2 - Sunderland, I can just see 'Alonso plays it through and GOAL for Benzima' quite a lot this season, though Palermo pulling the plug on Robert makes things interesting
D3 - Fiorentina, Strongest team in the division for me, manager has done well assembling that pool of talent but now needs to lead them
D4 - Malaga, Gone for them quite a bit now, but new man going in there with a real hunger for the game and fingers crossed he can bring them to where they should be

D1 | RUNNER UP | Man City| stronger first 11 than S5 ... can the squad cope with injuries
D1 | 8th | Porto| Can they do it for the 3rd season running

D4 | WINNER |LA Galaxy | did a fantastic job in Season 5

D4 | PLAY OFF WINNER | Genoa| No particular reason

D1 - gonna go with athletico Madrid but hope I can challenge.
D2 - Lazio, as much as he says he doesn't want to go up, I think they can easily do it. But with the teams going down it will be tough.
D3 - Celtic.
D4 - LA Galaxy where so close last season.

D1 - Head says Barca, heart says Atletico Madrid. I'll go for Barca
D2 - Lazio closely followed by Sunderland and Newcastle
D3 - Panathinakos then Flamengo. Good transfer dealings in Greece, plays the game how it should be played.
D4 - Malaga, great squad.

Hercule Poirot

D1 - I'm backing Ger to do three in a row - Man City
D2 - Toughie, could be any of three, I'm going to go for Sunderland over Newcastle and Lazio
D3 - Flamengo to come straight back up
D4 - Isco, Isco, Isco - Malaga

Again, thanks for that!!!

Sure I'm late into the job, no proper close season and as LVG says it will take 3 months before things show signs of improvement!!

I doubt I'll finish ahead of the big guns this season, I think my chairman with his mid table expectation might be on the ball, but thanks for the above vote of confidence.

Div 1 Man City
Div 2 Lazio
Div 3 Fiorentina
Div 4 Lyon/Malaga

Div 1: A lot of great squads in this division that could all push for the title but I'm going to take the safe option and go with Man City for 3 in a row. Great transfer business and sound man in charge. Fully expect it to go down to last day though. Barca to take some solace with 5th European cup in a row and Porto to finish 7th after 8th the last 2 seasons!!

Div 2: Unlucky to miss out on goal difference last season and has since really strengthened first team with Matic transfer so Im going with Lazio to take the title. Astute manager and good on the chat to boot!
He won't be short of challengers though, really tough to pick but I will chance my arm on Suarez, sturridge and sterling to fire Liverpool straight back up and Leverkusen to navigate whats sure to be a quality play-off.

Div 3: Fiorentina. Excellent team and squad. PSV should challenge and Im going to go with Celtic to get back to back promotions.

Div 4- Lyon should challenge for automatic promotion, Genoa just came up short last time around so will go close as will LA Galaxy

Not a great attempt!

Way off in Div 1, Leverkusen beaten in div 2 play-offs, PSV won div 3, but I enjoyed messing up my div 4 prediction beating both Genoa and LA Galaxy in play-offs!

Wow, when I said I was giving City the kiss of death I really meant it huh!!!

Grand total of Zero for me, going with some serious random selections for the next one! .
