[Music] Welcome to the Resties Football with me, Garelleneca alongside Anshira and Michael Richards. And yes, Lance, it's time for our annual season predictions. Looking forward to it. Here you go. No, no, this is the best worst episode. I love doing it, but you just get so much hate online. But you know what? Come on, let's have it. Yes, are you confident in your selections now? No. All right, no at all. Well, we better find out what they are. We're going to go through all 20 Premier League teams looking at what they've been up to this summer, how they got on at the weekend. And most importantly, how we think they're going to get on this season. We're going to put every team into one of six categories. Champions, top four, you're a mid-table, relegation fight, or the dreaded relegated. Produce a max will be keeping a note of all our answers as we go. So if you've got two teams going down, you'd better be prepared to explain yourself and ourselves at the end. Alan and Michael, it's time to lay out cards on the table. But one little thing. Usually, usually we start with AFC Bournemouth, but somebody's made a decision. It's one of our producers, Dave the Rave, who's on football cliches, and he insists that Bournemouth should be a B and not an A. So anyway. So I can take the blame. What's his government name? What's his second name? Dave, forget Dave the Rave. We need proper details to send the fans to. Walker, I think you're fine. David Walker's idea, everybody. Anyway, we're going to start with the Champions Arsenal and Can they defend their trophy? One of the so-called big six really to have a manager that's been there for quite some time. They've brought in a few signings, Gamarish, Concert, Solis and Messley A from Leeds to Goldkeeper, Trosod's gone, of course. And there's a couple of big injuries, Saliba and Timber. So what do we think? You can start, Alan, as you are an A. I think Arsenal have had a brilliant summer. I think with what went on last year in terms of winning it after all the stress and the pressure, the Runda, I think they've had a brilliant summer. They're going to be flying this season and without doubt they are the team to be. Yes, I would echo that. I mean, the signings are just so good. Yeah, Concerts dependable, Solis. Fitch straight in, didn't he? And then obviously you got Bruno, the engine in midfield, which allows Rice a little bit more rest. I would say it looked tired towards the end of last season. And I just think the business has been great. Everything they've done has been right. We've got the confidence from last season. The shackles are off, as it were. So yeah, I think Arsenal has a team to be. Even though some people say it's easier to win your first title than retain it. I disagree. I think they'll retain it. I think not only the fact that they've added to where they were last season when they won the league, but an added well. But I also think that pretty much all the big teams around them are in transition. So I'm actually going to go Arsenal by at least 10 points. Oh, that's where the balls were already. Transition gases for it there. Throwing it in, Micah. I like it. We'll move on to Villa. Wow, the fourth last season, but it's been a kind of chaotic summer. Unai Emery's still there. And I lost the opening game, of course, to Brighton for now. It was that score at halftime. And they've lost some big players. They brought in a few, but Morgan Rogers, Conzo, we already mentioned the Arsenal. Yuri Telemann's to name, but three have gone. It's going to be difficult for them to do what they did last season, Micah. Yeah, I feel for Villa. It looks as though they might be able to get a few in, though before the window closes. They've been linked with Matetta, who I think would be a perfect sign in for them. In terms of what they did last season, it was just remarkable. But I don't think it's going to be as bad as everyone thinks because of the manager. He will get them going. Obviously, Jal Gomez didn't have the greatest debut, but he is a top quality player. Once all the signing's bedding, and once to get a few more signers before the window, I don't think it'll be like last year, but I think I'm going to go around eighth place for Austin Villa. Yeah, I mean, very much like Newcastle have sold a lot of the best players. There is talk, and on Micah said about Matetta, I think they're also linked with Nicklaus Jackson. Yes, Oli Watkins looks as if he's off. So I think it's been a really tough summer for them. But their biggest asset is Unai Emery, and whilst they've got him and charge, they've always going to have a chance. Yeah, I don't think they'll meet top five or top six. So I've got them anywhere between eight, seven, something like that. Yeah, if. I think I'll go mid-table as well. I think it's going to be really difficult, and planning the Champions League as well. Yes, they'll probably add one or two. You mentioned Oli Watkins. That looks like that deal's been done for about 50 million to Al Halal in Saudi. So, you know, he'll be difficult to replace, but I agree, really good manager, and I think too that Villa will be in. Oppa mid-table. Let's say that. Oppa mid-table. Oppa mid-table. Covering all his beers is there, Micah. I'm going more accurate than you two. You just got mid-table. I agree. Oh, actually, a position. Okay, we don't need to do an actual position, Micah. We're on. We're on a completely. I don't want to sell the photos here. Okay, onto Bournemouth without the FC. Sixth, of course, last season. They'll be playing European football. Lost to City on the opening day. Only very, very late, though. Obviously, big deal there is that they've lost their Iola, and there's got a new money in charge. Also, Crupe, we all really like, is out for a few months with a fractured toe, so they'll probably miss him. So what do we think? I'm going to let me start on this one. I think it will be very difficult to make last season. They're going to have the. It's not a burden or an illness, but it does make life difficult, planning Europe at the same time. It will stretch their squad, but it's a very, very well-run football club. So I will go another team in mid-table. I'm going to see the same, guys. I think it'd be a big blow, losing their manager, because he's very talented. Not a couple of goals. I mean, Sinese, I think. But they lost all of the back four in the end. They keep it last year, and we thought they were going to struggle, but they didn't. They surprised us all. So I'm going to see the same. I think Bournemouth will be in and around mid-table. Yeah, I would agree. They'd played really well against Man City, though. Man City struggled against them at times. They still got the pace. They still look very organized. The manager's really good. Marco Rose, so I don't have any problems with that. Yeah, it is a transition in terms of changing the manager, but I still think the side is settled enough. So I'm going to go mid-table, but just below Villa, in ninth. Yeah, you've just equalised on the transition statement from that. So Mariki, you're not. Marco Rose, very experienced manager. He's been around for quite some time. Talking about managers that have made an impact. Keith Andrews for Brentford. They finished, obviously, ninth last season. He signed a long-term contract in February. Impressive start to the season, beating Spurs at home. San Gariah were all really impressed with in his debut, as come in alongside Yannick Schuster. And Jaden Antony from Bernley in Calimalson on a free. Jordan Henderson has left. So I think it's going to be difficult for them to be as good as that seems. But when I saw them in the opening day, I've kind of changed my mind. I've got a feeling they might sneak European football. Not the Champions League, but I think Europa League or Conference League. Yeah, Keith Andrews has been brilliant. Awesome last year. And what a start they made of the weekend. The battered Spurs, didn't they? And they were very impressive. in everything they did, whether it was gone direct, whether it was pressing, whether it was passing, some of the goals, I mean, finishing ninth last season was an incredible achievement, but I think they'll, I think they'll do something similar again. I think in and around mid table, better part of mid table, I'm gonna go for, I'm gonna go seventh. I think that that team is settled. I give you all, the very organized at the back, the very good at set-piece is still, obviously, Keith Andrews was a set-piece coach before he got the main gig. And yeah, I wanna give him a little bit of love this year. Brent for the look, good, the sign has been good, or you mentioned, Tiago looked sharp again, so I'm gonna go seventh. - Yeah, it looks like they're about sign L-Hedge and Mike Duf from West Ham, youngster. So that's another addition to their squad. Okay, I think we all agree that Brent for they're gonna have another decent season. As for Brighton, well, they did really well, didn't they finished eighth last season? They've made it into European football. They brought a lot, quite a lot of players in, actually. Buskiewicz from Spurs, probably the most expensive, Johanna from AIK, Pascal Short Strike from Leeds, of course. So a numerous players in there, they've lost Van Hecker, they've lost the experience of Danny Wellbeck, who's gone to Chelsea. So what do we think? - Impressive again at the weekend, wouldn't they? - Yeah, I like what they're doing and have done it Brighton. I've made a couple of decent signers, I think. So, and I don't think they'll suffer too much for what they've lost. I think they've got very good money for Van Hecker and then what they've shelled out on others. So I'm gonna have them challenging for a European spot, yeah. - There's quite a lot of traveling in the conference league as well. I have to bear that in mind, Micah. - That's what I was just gonna say, the conference league. It could hinder them during the season. I think they've got the squad to deal with it, but I just feel Thursday, Sunday, it can have an impact on a league season. So I've got 'em around 10th only because of that reason, but go far in the conference league. - I interviewed Fabian Herzler just before the start of the season and for your information. That interview will go out next Friday. He's very thoughtful on the game. I really enjoyed his company and I think you'll enjoy that. Right, onto Chelsea, who obviously struggled last season, finished halfway in 10th position. They have made a substantial change at the top with Javi Alonzo, of course. He was at Real Madrid, didn't work for him there, but he certainly did it by a leather cousin before that. They've made, as Chelsea always seemed to do, a lot of signings, Morgan Rodgers Laquire, to name but to Danny Wilbert, have already mentioned and Jordan Henderson, he brought two players in, obviously, for experience. Santos has gone, Cocharez gone, Chalibas gone. So I think Chelsea, I'm gonna start here because I'm not sure it's a hot tape, but I think Chelsea might finish second. I've got the feeling that Javi Alonzo's got something about him. If the club as a whole doesn't completely implode, which is a possibility, I think he'll do well with them. I think he's good. And I think they have got, obviously, a lot of talent there. If you go Rodgers and Cold Palmer and Javi Pedro up front, that is a good front three. - I would agree with that, Gaz. I'm not sure about them defensively because I think, tactically, the way that they set up when they got the free and then fire, they don't quite know the positions yet against Fulham the other night. They got in a couple of times. Chelsea and the conceded a lot of possession, put the magical up front. So I've got them inferred just because of defensive reasons, but I think they will challenge all the way until around April, potentially, and then fall off. Like, they might do something in January, but right now, there's something missing and it might even just be the goalkeeper. I think Sanchez is a good goalkeeper, but it makes too much mistakes at this level. - He's suddenly been linked with Emmy Martinez, I don't know what you say. - If you say, if they get my Martinez, then it changes a lot of things, but right now, as of today, I have them around first. - Yeah, no European football for them, so that will-- - Exactly. - Help them. I've got them soon as you guys. I've got them finishing second. - Not such a hot take, then. - I just think they'll just lack that a little bit to take Arsenal all the way, but I think they'll do well and without doubt, definitely Champions League. - Yep. On to one of the promoter clubs, the team that won the championship last season, obviously, friend of the show. - Yeah. - And Frank Lampard, who was with us in New York, was in a fabulous job so far. This is though, obviously, a real challenge. They have brought a lot of players in, which Sunderland did last season. The recruitment needs to be really good, doesn't it, Michael? - I have actually got them staying up. - Oh, yeah. - Just because I watched them last season, the championship, and there was a joy to watch. Obviously, he was very difficult for them. The start of the season, opening against the Champions, and everyone's gonna look at that. I think they're not any good. But I feel once he gets it going, tactically, Frank knows what he's doing. He's been in that position before in terms of around the bottom of the table with Evan, who would have learned from that experience. So I've got them just out of relegation. I'm going bold, guys. I'm going big. - Relegation battled, but not going down. - Not going down? - Yes, not going down. - Yeah, as much as I want Frank to do really well, 'cause I think he's a great lad. I love everything about his attitude, and what he did go in there, and how he got them up and everything else. I mean, they brought so many players in. Couldn't have had a tough start going away to Arsenal. Yeah, I've got them going down, unfortunately. Got Coventry going down. - I think it's going to be difficult for all three of the promoted clubs, as it always is, until last season, when Sunland proved us all wrong. So I think it's going to be very difficult. I think they need to get a result or two relatively early on, not helped by having the toughest of fixtures on the opening day. So I think they'll just do it, though. I think they'll just avoid relegation. I'm not going predictably with all three of the promoted clubs to go down. So I'm going to back Frank all the way. I might be a little bit heart overhead, 'cause I like Frank, but who knows? We shall see. Crystal Palace, obviously finished 15th last season, but one of European trophy, we should remind everyone of that. But they've lost their coach, PS Sage has come in. He finished second, of course, with lawns in the Liga last season. They lost their opening game away. LeQuire has gone, Brennan Johnson's gone. At the moment, it looks like Sart and Matetta are trying to get themselves out of the club as well. So, difficult time, I think, for Palace ahead, and I've got a horrible feeling that they might go down. That's my other one. - I wouldn't put you off of that. I think it'll be catastrophic for them if they lose Matetta and so. - I'm only going with if they do lose those two players, if they keep them, I do not think they'll go down. So, I mean, that's the problem we're doing it before the transfer window closes for us, but anyway. I thought I'd make that stipulation. - I think it's going to be a really difficult season for Palace, even if they keep those two, I mean, clearly they want out. I mean, what Matetta did and by all accounts Sart wants to leave. So, even if they stay, I'm not sure that mindset will be correct. So, I think it'll be a really difficult season for Palace and it wouldn't surprise me if they, well, I think there will be anyway, even if they keep them in a relegation battle. If they lose those two, I'm going with you. I think they could be relegated. It looks like Munoz as well might be trying to get out. - They can't lose Munoz. It'd be, yeah, that wouldn't be good for them. I had them as well going down. It was crystal Palace for commentary. I think new manager and the players potentially want to leave. At the moment, but let's see the transfer window, but I had, yeah, Palace severe pressure this season. Okay, on to Everton, obviously had a good season. Kind of tailed off a little bit 'cause they finished 13th in the end, but as I just mentioned, cracking opening game for them, beating Palace at home. They brought in Bren and Johnson's already mentioned. They got Tyrick George from Chelsea, Merlin, Rool from Fryberg. A lot of few players coming in, also Nurgard from Arsenal. Neal's gone out, Dwight McNeil had risked a gay and sheamus Coleman has been released after a fabulous career at Everton. I think mid-similar sort of mid-table. - I think there might be slightly better than mid-tier, but I've got them, yeah, maybe eight or ninth, something like that. I think Everton will have a decent season and pretty impressed with what they did. Watch them a little bit. The weekend, too, he hadn't hacked me and things aren't strong in the midfield at the weekend. Played really well. A couple of players to come back from injury. Just above mid-table for me, better side of it. - Yeah, I like what Everton did at the moment. I watched them against Preston. was one last night and it's just look full of confidence, Tieno Barry looks like he knows where the net is now. It was interesting after the game, Moe did interview and just said he needs more from him this season and Tieno Barry was talking about, he was doing loads during the summer to make sure he's better this season so I think they're gonna score some of them goals that they miss and yeah mid-table for Everton. Yeah I think if Barry does realise the potential that he's got that could make a significant difference hopefully for Everton. On to Fulham who also finished in mid-table last season in the eleventh spot obviously they've had a change of coach now they've gone with Albeiro Albelloa who was of course at Real Madrid for a short period last season after Javier Lanzo went but he found it very difficult as well. Lost Chelsea 32 it was a very entertaining game with Chelsea's front three proving too much for them and they've brought in Garcia and Gonzalo Gonzalo from Real Madrid 34 million quid quite liked him on the occasions I saw for Real Madrid when he did actually start. Shared Charles from Southampton for 90 million says our Palacios from another player from Real Madrid so big season for Fulham. I think relegation battle but I think they'll be okay there's what I've gone early with this one who wants to follow me. Yeah I purely because the squad is quite young I think Fulham could be one of those teams that play really good football really entertaining to watch but concede a lot of goals to do take a lot of chances against Chelsea but they give a good fight so it's one of those teams we look at I think the very nice on the eye but are they going to get over the line because they had more possession in that game against Chelsea and it looked like they was cruising at one point and before you know it a couple of mistakes and then the concede a goal so yeah I I don't think they will be relegated but I think they'll be flirting with relegation. Yeah relegation battle for me I think I think it'll be a tough season for them. I thought they did okay actually on like you I thought they did okay against Chelsea and was impressed with the way they with what they showed so but I still I still think they'll have a tough season relegation battle yeah. We're agreeing on a lot today. Too many. Too much really. What's up in our research? We'll be back after the break while we're predicting the next 10 Premier League clubs including both Manchester teams Liverpool and Al's mob Newcastle as well.

We'll be back with the next 10 clubs in just a take including both Manchester Clubs and Liverpool but before then you may have seen your wafer president Alexander Shefferin making headlines this week that followed a brilliant interview he gave to Alistair Campbell on the rest his politics and here's a clip. Is Infantino's plan dead or will they try to revive it and will Infantino survive as president of FIFA? In this case football would be literally sold. I'm absolutely sure that the plan is dead but things get too far. Now in football politics is sometimes even more complicated or if you want dirty than the normal politics. So you never know what will happen in the future but for me the most important thing is that we stopped another try to sell the sport. I mean it's hard to imagine what kind of people would sell the sport that belongs to everyone. How does he survive? Because in the end it's about votes. It is political. It's about the numbers. Tell me what you think he will be trying to do to survive because he's clearly not going to walk. Is he? He goes to the elections in March but in that case I think he will have a candidate against him. I don't know yet who? No you. No I'm not interested because of two reasons. One reason is that I love UEFA and I love working here and I think that at a certain point you have also, I mean it's time also to enjoy life a bit. Let's see till when. And the second point is microdivillities much much much higher if I'm not interested in the position. Hope you enjoyed that. If you'd like to hear the full interview search the rest is politics leading wherever you get your podcasts. Okay Chaps. I think it's been all too similar. It's too too nice. I know. I picked out a couple of I thought hot takes and you've all gone with me as well. So I was trying to be a little bit I thought I'd be a bit different at great minds. You see great minds. Right we're on to one of the promoted clubs who started the season in an emphatic style by beating Manchester United. Whole who finished sixth of course in the championship came up via the playoffs. Sergei Yakarovich is now in charge. He taught them to promotion of course in his first season. So there's loads of players in quite a few players that they obviously needed. They've had it goes as the promoted teams have to do nowadays. So I think if you'd have asked us this week ago we'd have all probably said I think there'll be bottom but after that first result and we will give them a bit more reactionary. Come on. There were brilliant against Manginoid in that open and game. Lee Bader don't deserve to win. Could should have been more. Every single one of them was outstanding. It was a great atmosphere but I've still got them being relegated. Yeah but Bernie. My name. I'm sorry. I've done all the stats. I've had all the data. It was amazing even getting into the Premier League but fortunately unfortunately having a relegation battle. Come on. Prove me wrong please. Hang on. relegation battle. Is that mean you're staying up or going down? Well we've got a mate in place for a team. You've got to see how the feds aren't you? You're sitting on the face in this episode. Yeah. He's not. He's not ridden one of your houses is he? No. No. No. No. All right. Staying up or going down, Michael. Based off the squad right now I have them going down yes. Okay. I'm sorry, Hall fans. I'll join you on that but hopefully your proof is wrong. On to Ipswich. Another of the promoted sides. Second in the championship last season. Kieran McKenna decided to leave. Gary O'Neill has come in. They've had a good start to the season beating Sunderland. It took they had a long wait last time during the Premier League for their first victory. Obviously they're brought in a quite a number of players and CISO, Bawattara, Emerson from Toulouse for 24 million. Abdel for Tau at Leicester fans will know that he's really talented so they're having a go but will they have enough to stay up? I'm going to see yes. I think if there's one of the teams that came up can stay up, I'm going to say it's hip switch. There will be obviously in the relegation battle, but they might just have enough to stay up. So I'm going to say staying up, hip switch. Well, what gives you that opinion, is it in C-so, the way you played, do the day off? Yeah. So just think they'll have a, they'll be able to score a couple of goals and was impressed with them at the weekend. And I think the belief that that will give them, because the last time I think it was 11 games, it took them to win if I'm correct. They're spent close on 200 million, you know? Yeah. Spent them right for you, Quinn, they've had a goal, so I think they'll just have enough here. I like everything that you say, you know what, I want to watch them. If you took away the name, a team that's just come to the Premier League, you'd think there was an experienced Premier League side, I might just say in relegation battle because it's hip switch and because one that last time was there didn't do that well, I had them going down, I had them going down, but I think it's going to be close. I think they're going to push all the way to the end, but in them winter mumps, I think it's going to be difficult for them. So I've got them borderline, borderline going down. I think the relegation fight this season could be really tight, and there's quite a number of clubs. So sometimes it works, spending that amount of money, Sunderland did it last season, didn't they spent quite a lot in the summer, brought in lots of players, hip switch, you're now doing it. But I think the changing manager is a bit of a big deal after you get promoted. So I like Gary O'Neill, I think he's really good tactically, but I think it's going to be difficult for them, but they've got three points. For me, I'm on the edge of that one. And I think it will be the Ipswich or Coventry that goes, but I'm going to go the Ipswich will go down. OK, leads, leads, leads, my cup, 14th last season, of course, had a really good season on the Daniel Fock, won their opening game against Forest of course as well. They're brought in, I think a top young goalkeeper in James traffic for 40 million and two or three other signings as well. So Pascal Strike has gone to to Brighton, so they'll miss him, but leads, mid table, easily, no problems. I don't think pushing for your up, I think that potentially could be next season, but the manager's got to play in some great football. So organised away from home as well and then when they go to Ellen Road, even better. So yeah, leads to play exciting football, I would like to see a little bit more business from from their point of view, obviously matches really good, covered Lewin had a really good season. I would like to see another option in that forward position and as in as like the number nine position. So yes, but I think leading to be fine. I'm going mid table brilliant signing James Trufford, outstanding signing. I think he'll he is and I think he'll win them so many points. Yeah, I've got them in and around me, even just above mid table, but yeah, mid table for me as well leads. I think it'll be as as per not many teams will look forward to going to Ellen Road. I think in the relegation battle, but the upper side of it. So it depends whether you say mid table is for I think 14 to 15, a bit like they finished last season. So if that's fighting relegation or if that's mid table, I'll leave that up to you, but that's where I'm going to go that's Gary sitting on the fence, make up sitting on the fence. I've actually named either 14th or 15th place, that's not sitting on the fence. Okay, we'll go along with that. We think they'll do better than that me and make it. Yeah. Well, yeah, they'll do better than that. Definitely do better. On to the title winners two years ago, Liverpool obviously struggled last season, cracking opening game against a new castle, Alan when a little bit of breaking news on this one, which is quite significant if, and it's from David Ornstein, so I think we can probably believe it. Liverpool reach agreement in principle on terms of a deal to sign Bradley Barcola from Paris, Sandra Mann, details to be fine, looks around 120 million, 100 million, something like that. Obviously a player would've enjoyed watching at PSG, so that's a good signing, isn't it? Brilliant. A player, very, very good player, but I'm not convinced of Liverpool, I think defensively, they'll struggle. No, I wasn't impressed with them at all at a new castle at the weekend. When you say struggle, Alan, you're talking like, well, I don't think they'll challenge for the title, I don't think they'll have enough for that, and they may even miss out on the top four. I've got them 4th or 5th. So, Champions League, just. Just, yeah. I've got Liverpool 4th. I think, yeah, the balance is not right, but the Constell score goals. I mean, Field is not working as they would like it to, if they get Barcola. Although Barcola's, what were the players, he's frustrating in terms of, he misses a lot of big chances. He still gets in really good positions, and he still gets a team up the field as well. So I think if they get in, I'll go a little bit of Jeremy Docker then. Yes. He knows it. Yeah. Well, it was like Docker. So Docker was really good. He'd beat his man. And he'd beat the second man, and then he could have squared it, or he could put it in top corner, and he would sort of just, but he's worked a lot on that Docker, and he's got better on that. But I think Barcola, the way Liverpool want to play under Eriola, I think he'd be a very good sign, and so, but I don't think it changes the league position for me. I'm still going for it. Yeah, I've got them in about the same place. It's obviously a new manager's coming in. He's got a change of style. He's actually said himself he's not sure they're quite ready yet for what I want, but so it might take a bit of time, one or two more signs. They've obviously lost a couple of experience players, so I'm going to go the same. I think they'll just make Champions League football. Okay. On to Manchester City, second last season, but the big, big, big change. There is no longer Pep Guardiola in charge. He sends on Maresco with Guardiola, of course, at City a few years ago, and was doing pretty well at Chelsea until it all shit hit the fan. So they brought in Ellie Anderson, of course, for a lot of money. They've got a youngster with a lot of talent from Leicester, but I don't think he'll feature for a while. And they've obviously offloaded quite a lot of players that you'll know. I mean, you're Rodry Trafford, a Kanji, Ake Rinders, Bernardo, Silver and John Stone. Who are you? If signed as well, guys. Who are you going to come in? Maybe Enzo Fernandez as well. Enzo Fernandez. So I think City definitely in transition mode, in more ways than one, probably more than anyone. So anything could happen this season. I still think they'll make Champions League, but I don't envisage them in a title race. Sorry, Micah. I don't know how I think you've been honest. I wouldn't think I would say Maraska knows a club having been there before under PEP. So he knows how to deal with the owners, the fans, et cetera, et cetera. I agree. I think there's been too much change. Even Bawadi's 18 years of age is going to be difficult. Anderson coming in who, you know, going from forest to Man City where you're expected to get into Champions League, he's different, but I still have faith that they'll play some good football. They've got Harland up front, Law is score, Doku towards the end of last season was playing really well. Semenio always got a goal in him. So I don't think it's bad as people think, so I've got them in as second. I've got them third. I've got Chelsea in second, and I've got Man City in third. I don't doubt Champions League. I just think, yeah, very similar to you, they're different to what they are and it might take them a while to try and get back to where they want to be. So third for me. OK. On to Manchester United who did finish third last season after that great run that they had under Michael Carrick in the second half of the season. He's now the permanent manager, but obviously a chucking start to the season losing at Hall. Beliebers coming subsequently, we've already seen Santos and Telemann's playing midfield. They've lost Casamiro and Anna, Jaden Sancio, have gone so a few changes there. The big question is is can Michael Carrick continue with how well he was doing last season, given the fact that this time they've got Champions League football as well? I think the squad looks a tad light to compete on all fronts at present. So I think between them, I think their fourth fifth along with Liverpool for me. Same for me. They were rotting at the weekend, running against Hall. I mean, if I had done this before the season, that performance worried me because I guess they just thought they could turn up and go and play and beat Hall and just click their fingers and it worked and walk away with the points. So that was a worrying thing for me that last weekend. I'll say it as you guys, I'm going to have them fourth or fifth back then battling with Liverpool for that fourth position. Yeah, that's exactly what I've got. I mean, you guys have been doing your homework this time, aren't you? We always do our homework. This is the only one that looks as if he's doing a little bit of homework, guys. I know. Honestly. I've got a fifth. I've got a fifth United. Yeah. Champions League this year. Yeah, again, the squad. Everything that you guys said totally agree with, which is a shame, but yeah, I've got them in fifth. Okay, we'll give you first dibs on this one. New castle Allen finished obviously 12th last season. But in the disappointing season following the Cup's success, the year before there's a few players have come in. And obviously the big news is if you lose to Nali Gamare and Anthony Gordon, that's a lot of talent gone out. Yeah, well, that was the same talent that finished 12th last season. Can we just stop a minute? I mean, that is how Allen, he will speak about every team so nicely. Yeah, the voice didn't change one bit. For all we've been doing 40 minutes, no, no changing his voice. As soon as you mention new castle. This is time. God, it goes too long by now. Just a minute. Yeah. No, that was the same table for the 12 last season. He got all defensive there straight away. So I was I've been to both of their games. I was it. I was it the carabal Cup game last night as well. And yeah, I think it'll be a challenging season at times. Positive plenty of positives out of both of those games they've played. I've got them the other side of mid table down maybe 12th, 13th, 14th, something like that. I like I like the manager. Yeah, I do. I like him. I like the effort the players are putting in. I feel so when Newcastle signed these players like Willock. And there was sort of bench players and and Barnes and this. Walter Mahler, we need to see a little bit more. We don't know what is happening with his future as well. But the look more like a team. I don't know if that's because they've got less quality and just more energy and they're just feeding off the fans. But the two games that Newcastle have played they've been absolutely brilliant in in all aspects creating chances. Being strong aggressive brave on the ball. Miling in midfield looks really good again after the start of the year. Before he was going to be a superstar and he got injured. And now he looks like he's going to get more game time. So I'm. Yeah, I'm quite optimistic about Newcastle mid table at least. Tell you what guys have seen I watched him twice in the last two in the two games. A young boy 18 year old Sean stir. I think that's how you pronounce it. Yes, from from Ajax. Yeah, him and I think they paid about 20 million for him. He looks at if he if he doesn't. He'll have his moments this season without a doubt. But I think there's a without is a there's a top player in there already. I've seen enough of him the way he can the way he takes the ball. He handles it in possession and the way that forward pass. I think him and him and Lewis Miley in the midfield 18 and 19 year old. For those two to go into that midfield against Liverpool's on Sunday. It was a big call from the manager and it worked so big. I think big things to come from. If it's not this season, then maybe the season after. But yeah, I've got them just below mid table. Yeah, I've got exactly the same Alan. I think many ups and downs this season. Yeah, a bit of a change, but I think they'll be fine. On to Nottingham Forest, they finished 16th last season. They've now of course after about 47 managers last season. They've now got another new one at the start of this. Oliver Glasner, who we know is obviously done wonders at Crystal Palace. But he's gone from there now to Nottingham Forest. They've not really been too active in the transfer market. Obviously they lost Ellie Anderson, who's a big loss. DMR Day's coming from sporting for 34 million as centre back. I'll start with this one. I think a relegation fight, but I think they've probably with Glasner in charge just about enough to stay up. Yeah, I think names on paper. When you've got Macatise and Gary, you've got a Morgan, Gibbs White, and you've got people like Wood and Jesus. You think they'll be fine? But then two games, no goals, conceded free. I'm thinking, come on guys, I know they have chances, but you've got to put these chances away. And if they was to lose again at the weekend. And then it starts to spread in the dressing room that negative energy. It could be a problem. But I think they've got enough quality to stay in the Premier League. No doubt. But they can't think, they've got to do it. So I think they'll stay up, but they could find it difficult. And being that relegation battle. It looks as if they're signing Delac as well, doesn't it? From Chelsea. For a right few quids for about 45 or 50 million quid, which is incredible, really. But I think he'll give them enough. I would because of that, I had them in a relegation battle as well, guys. But they'll have enough because if he does sign, which it looks like, then I think he will add that threat in front of the goal. Yeah, so yeah, just belonging, yeah, 15th. I've got one slight caveat before we move on is that if they do have a bad start, and they've got Liverpool at the weekend now as well, which is just great. If they do have a bad start in a few games, if he decides to get rid of Glasgow, because he's not beyond the realms of possibility. That's right. Because he seems to be a very emotional owner. If that happens, then I think all bets could be off and forest could go down. But that's that caveat. They need a little bit stability in that dressing room. I think that's really important for them this season. So if you get a bad start, they've got to try and stick with a tried and trusted guy that's going to charge. On to Sondland, who extraordinarily finished seventh last season, and made fools of every single pundit in World Football. Reggie Lebrie, of course, guided them to the Europa League. They did lose their opening game against Ipswich, conceding an late one. Not too much in the transfer market. They brought in Metallee from Toulouse and a couple of other players as well. So there's not been too much change there, but can they possibly do what they did last season? They've also got that wonderful burden of European football. Well, you know what, right? There was a player liaison who was at Man City at the time. He used to look after us. A wonderful, wonderful person. But you know that social clip at the end of the season, as Uzbefoon saying Sondland was going to go, "She posted it on a story. She did it on a WhatsApp. And she on Instagram, I'm like, "You know I can see this. I'm way supposed to be made, right?" She's just like, "How well you should shoot your mouth next time." She's obviously the player liaison at Sondland now. Wait. She had a pop at your mica. Is that friendly pop? Is that going to kind of influence your decision as to where Sondland is? Yes, the stand up. I don't want to be on the social. Sondland is so petty that the one that they want to put us upon again. So I'm not going to make even the chance to stand up. I know what Ireland's going to say. Come on now. I think they're in a relegation battle. Maybe very different season this season to what they had last season. With European football, people knowing who and what they are. I think they'll still, but I think there will be an relegation battle, but they'll have enough to still. I wouldn't disagree on that. I think it'll be almost impossible to do what they did last season in terms of a league position. Given the fact that they've now got European football as well, they've not brought in a lot of players to help with that yet. So I think the same. I think they'll be okay. I don't think they'll go down, but they could be on the periphery of a relegation fight. Onto Super Spurs Tottenham. Obviously, the last couple of seasons, they've just been above the relegation zone. Deserby came in, of course, at the end of last season. Shocking starts, again, hammered by Brentford 3-0. A lot, lot of movement. I won't bore you with going through all of them. Most of the obvious ones anyway. Loads of players in, loads of players out. Can he make it work? Micah. Yes, he can. I love Deserby. I think he's a great manager. I think he says the right things. I think he plays good football. They've bought some good signings, though, haven't they? I think once they gel, they'll be fine. I have got Spurs pushing what? Europleague. Europleague. I've got them in sixth. Yes, sixth, seventh around that sort of part of the table. I like Savinio. They'll just sign Savinio, aren't they? And he. Savinio, he wants to be called Not Savinio. Oh, he wants to be called Savinio, does he? Yes. Savinio now, isn't it Not Savinio? Well, I want to be called the King of Fucking Manchester. Well, you're not, you're just a nobid. So Savinio, I'll call him, because that's what we've been calling for the last seven years. Well, so when are our viewers on list of this? I've got to think, ooh Savinio. Yeah, Savinio. He looked good giving that for Spurs. Well, they're finishing. Micah. Six-seventh, if he was listening. Well, I would be hopeful of that. I think that's probably the real estate, the best they can do. I think given the number of changes that are going on, and the bad start, I still think they'll be okay and finish. I think he's. European spot just about. Yeah, me too. I think they've paid absolute fortune for some of the players. I mean, they're just given the dessert we have to already do. There you go, go and spend what you want. And I think they've paid a fortune for some players, but I think you're right. Maybe six or seven. I'm going along with you, which will be a huge improvement on the previous two seasons. So, you know, it's the hope that kills you. Alan, just want to be clear on your three relegated clubs. My three relegated clubs will be whole coventry. And I'm going to go crystal palace. You are going to go with palace, okay? Just wanted to clarify that. I think it'll be crystal palace, Ipswich, full of all fighting for that last place, but I'm going to go palace. Okay, we didn't disagree too much on this particular episode. We'll see, we'll see how we get on come April, May will be getting absolutely vilified because we might get one or two incorrect, but I don't think it will be too far off. We'll see. That's it for this episode of The Resties Football. If we were that kind to your team, we're just trying to be honest, okay? And we hope you do well. We hope you do well. That's it for us. Goodbye for me. Goodbye for me. Goodbye for me. Have a great weekend. You want to impress them on a first date, but also play it cool. So what do you do?
