    So, if you remember, I made a prediction about the Premier League table for this season, and well...
    Things have definitely changed since then,

    1. Chelsea have surprised me.
    2. Liverpool, my team (COME ON YOU REDMEN!) are challenging for the title.
    3. Arsenal are.... In 4th, not 5th. wow.

    yeah, things are different.
    Anyway, after visiting England, watching Liverpool vs Man City on New Years Eve in the Kop, and some.... top quality football from Macclesfield Town and Crewe Alexandra, I decided why the hell not make a prediction for the second half of the season.

    Anyway, here we go, I'll also say who will win what trophy domestic or European.

    20th. Hull City - Hull aren't moving from where they are at the minute, they can barely work together on the field, and what, 3 new managers in a season, it's all gone downhill since Steve Bruce left. Relegation for the Tigers.

    19th - Swansea City - Swansea have gone err.... silent since they won the league cup in 2013, and well since then, it's all gone downhill, Gary Monk is gone, Bob Bradley was downright miserable, and well... the best they did was under Laudrup, there's no going back for the Welsh team.

    18th - Crystal Palace - Palace.... What the hell happened, they used to repel at beating us Liverpudlians and now.... WTF was Crystanbul about? Palace are well and truly dead, not premier league quality anymore. Sorry eagles, ciao.

    17th - 10th

    Sunderland - Sunderland are going to do a Wigan and live to see another season... and then go down again, I think they can turn it around, but of course, without the six points from Newcastle (Sorry Geordies.), well, they're fucked on the Tyne.

    16th - Leicester - Jesus Christ what the hell happened here, Leicester, champions last year, the underdogs, Gary Lineker doing match of the day in his underwear, and now reduced to this, and the fact they have extra Champions League games doesn't help. They're not that bad for the drop, but well, the glory days are all gone.

    15th - West Ham - No bubbles being blown away from the Boleyn Ground, just scraping an away draw against Liverpool, being hammered by Arsenal (no pun intended) and well, United slaughtered them, and now Dimitri Payet wants out. It's all gone wrong for Slaven Bilic's side.

    14th - Watford - Watford are doing okay for a team that was only promoted last year, with everyone expecting them to struggle, they're fending pretty well.

    13th - Middlesborough - Now, here we have a team that has impressed me this year, they've done very well for a newly promoted team, same goes to Burnley, who I'll award a place above them because well, I'm scared I'll get knocked out by the tit we call Joey Barton if not.... He slanders the "Joey" name.

    12th - Burnley - Self-explanatory Burnley 2-0 Liverpool. Joey Barton, they've been alright, (I'm seriously not gonna say that Liverpool losing to Burnley is bad, it's a joke.)

    11th - Southampton - After being more defensive than a Chelsea team under Jose Mourinho, and well, hurting Nathaniel Clyne's feelings, I'd say they'll pay for it. All jokes aside, Southampton are on the slip, and their only chance of a trophy is if they hold their 1-0 advantage at Anfield a fortnight from now. Nothing good going on.

    10th - Stoke City - Well, the signing of Joe Allen has paid off, the Welsh Pirlo and a team full of Xherdan Shaqiri's could win Stoke the league, as it seems they are the only assets to Stoke's season, I'll be dead simple and say that they'll JUST MISS OUT on Europe this year.

    9th - 7th (I'll be honest, from 6-10th place, there will be only about 6 points difference this year.)

    9th - Bournemouth - Jesus Christ it's Jason Bourne....mouth, who have proved themselves well capable of under Eddie Howe, who has been a brilliant manager this year, I'm surprised he didn't get the England job.

    8th - West Bromwich Albion - West Brom have seriously surprised me this year, I didn't expect them to stay up, and well, they're in 8th on my list, I really admire them this year. With James McClean (A lad from my hometown) on the rise in skill, and a strong attack, they can definitely go for Europe this year.

    7th - Everton - Of course, Everton, claiming that last European spot this year, I must say our derby-friends over at their sh*thole Goodison have been fending pretty well, but of course they can't stop Sadio Mane >:)
    Seriousness though, Ronald Koeman's appointment was a great job, and Morgan Schniderlin joining will be a classy signing for the Toffees, I wish our blue friends the worst of luck.

    5th and 6th

    6th - Manchester United - Well, another team who you hate or love, Manchester United aren't the same since Fergies days at Old Trashford, Jose Mourinho has failed to impress, while Zlatan and Pogba have been in good form, the rest of the team lacks, and with Wayne Rooney sure to head to China or MLS soon, I think it's going to turn into dark times at United (AND THANK GOD TOO, YA DEVIL TAIGS.)

    5th - Manchester City - Oh dear oh dear Pep, beaten by Chelsea, and Liverpool. Seriously, Manchester City have dropped form, I wouldn't see them as title contenders, and I think the team above them will edge it in the end, and that team is......

    4th - 1st

    4th - 4rsen4l - Yep, the Gooners are back in 4th again.... Well, here we go, Arsenal aren't gonna get any better by the looks of it, Sanchez and Ozil are great I will say, but Xhaka has failed this year, and Walcott has been well... Walcott, It'll be another one of those years for the North Londoners.

    3rd - Tottenham - Well, I'm backing spurs to beat their rivals this year and finish above Arsenal, they've got the players, Dele Alli, Harry Kane, Toby Alderweireld, Hugo Lloris, they have a good team, and a good chance of finishing higher.

    2nd - Chelsea - (This is not because I'm a Liverpool fan, I can see this happening.)
    Chelsea, they're a great team and all, Antonio Conte is a fantastic manager, 12 wins on the trot and top of the league by 5 points, but I think we're going to see them slip... (Oh I'm still salty lads.)

    1st - Liverpool - And the glory days are going to come back to Anfield in my opinion, we are holding our own against big teams, Jurgen Klopp is incredible, 2 finals, but no trophy yet, everyone says it, but is may be our year, I seriously believe Liverpool will win the league by 1-2 points, or goal difference.


    Winners of other trophies
    Capital One Cup - Liverpool 2-1 Manchester United
    FA Cup - Arsenal 1-1 Manchester United (United win on pens.)
    Champions League - Real Madrid
    Europa League - (I, a salty Liverpool fan want Sevilla's reign to end and I think Tottenham can win the Europa league)

    So, those are my predictions, feel free to voice your opinion on it, let's see at the end of the season what I got right and wrong....

    Joey
