Liverpool will have to play the kids against Wolves.
Prediction
1.Chelsea,
2.Arsenal,
3.Scum
4.Spurs,
5.City,
6. Liverpool
That injury ravaged Spurs reference you keep making sounds like an excuse to me.
I think you are desperately clutching at straws here. You told us Conte was being found out in a serious footballing environment 6 games into the season, he is now 8 clear at the top. He would have came to England hearing all these cliches and testimonials about the toughest league in the world etc but so far he has found it every bit as easy as he did at Juventus.
I think we will have the league won in April.
West Ham have done well over the last couple of games but you predicting them to finish third is rather ridiculous.

There were doubts expressed about Conte from any number of posters after Chelsea were hammered at Woolwich, following on from the home loss to Liverpool and the draw at Swansea. What has @Rocko done to the discussion that took place about Conte after Chelsea lost 3-0 at Woolwich on 24 September? They don’t appear to have survived the merger of the two EPL threads. There’s seems to be two weeks of discussion between 17 September 2016 and 2 October 2016 between posts 433 and 435 on the merged thread gone missing.
You told us he was being found out in a serious footballing environment.
Do you now care to revise that opinion?
He was being found out in the serious footballing environment of the EPL. I made a comment on a match, in fact a series of three consecutive matches. It was an unremarkable and correct comment as Chelsea were awful in losing 3-0 to Woolwich, the home loss to Liverpool and in the second half when drawing at Swansea. Conte was exposed in those games to such an extent he had to tear up the script, change the formation and go with something different.
I’ll ask again as you seem to have avoided answering the question.
Do you care to revise your initial opinion of Conte?
Would you also apply the same criticism to Klopp who has failed to win in his last three games, including two matches against two of the bottom four? Is he being found out in a serious football environment?
I’m not avoiding any questions. That’s your forte. The views I expressed on Conte on 24 September after they lost 3-0 at Woolwich were unremarkable and correct. He was being found out at that point in time.
I’ll ask for the third time as you have not answered the question.
Do you care to revise your initial opinion on Conte, in that he was being found out in a serious football environment?
Do you also care to apply your logic, based on Conte taking 1 point from three games (two of those games being the sides who occupy 2nd and 4th in the table right now) to Klopp who has taken 2 points from his last 3 games (with none of those sides being in the top 4 but two of them actually being in the bottom 4)? This would mean that you feel Klopp is getting found out in a serious football environment.
Oooft.
Oooft,
Eeek.
Shudder.
Hey Boycott.
Go get your shovel, you have some more digging to do.
An almighty clamping being dished out here.
Geoff will be off preparing for another marathon soon…
I wasn’t the only one who correctly observed that Conte was getting found out after the 3-0 defeat at Woolwich on 24 September. Contributors of the stature of @Fagan_ODowd, @Ashman, @artfoley, @Steven_Naimsith and @carryharry were of a similar view. @artfoley very astutely identified the need for Conte to change the Chelsea starting XI, which immediately happened in the very next game. The comments of your fellow recent recruit as a Chelsea supporter @Tassotti weren’t really football related and were more personal and nasty.
You continued to write him off months after the 3-0 defeat at Arsenal.
Now, do you care to revise your initial opinion on him?
Do you also care to apply your logic to Klopp?
