A bit like every team from 4th to 10th...

true, tho there's some teams in there who generally get a bit better thru the season, while others drop away.

I reckon the top 8 will look much like they normally do at the end - the same eight teams, tho not necessarily in the same positions (for example, Chelsea will be in there, tho top 4 looks unlikely for them now).

In Everton's 11 league games thus far, they have already played all of last season's top 8.

They're a point off 6th currently - I think that's a false position and that'll they finish higher than they are.

Much will depend on the window....we will see come May :)

I think they can recover 10 points. Looks unlikely at the minute but everyone else is so inconsistent. Utd couldn't score in a brothel, City are hit and miss, Liverpool are an unknown and Arsenal are the only team lately that have shown a bit of quality.

More bad news for Mourinho today. Eva Carneiro has filed an individual claim against him, in addition to the one she filed against the club. Looks like Roman will have to cough up some cash out of court.

Chelsea would need a level of consistency from now on that they've barely achieved in their best seasons, so I can't see it.

It would probably take the lowest points for 4th spot that's ever happened for them to be in there, and while the points of per-game of 4th is currently below the average it was like that last season too and picked up in the 2nd half of the season.

Chelsea will get top 4. They don't need to gain 10 points on anybody decent. Leicester and West Ham will fall away once squad depth becomes important later on.

Chelsea are 6 points behind Spurs/Liverpool/Soton and 5 points behind Everton, who are probably the teams most likely to be challenging for top 4.

I see Garde has been confirmed at Villa. Be interesting to see if he hits the ground running or whether he ends up a Felix McGath type appointment. 

as in the bit player at Arsenal?

I think Leicester have been a little lucky this season, the small things seem to be going their way, you have to give them credit for building some momentum up.  However there run is based on the goals of 2 players which I cant see continuing indefinitely, I suspect they will drop like a stone, but Im sure at the start of the season mid table would have been fine with them.

as a Leicester fan anything above 18th is good by me! Pretty much most fans thoughts I think. :)

I can't see Everton finishing top 4. We've had a pretty decent start against teams that should be good but haven't been this season and we've got a run of should-be-easy games coming up but we really are one of the most inconsistent teams in the league. We can play beautiful football when we want to but it always manages to land us in an average position in the table come the end of the season.

So the Gunners..............the PLs in form team of the moment.....................Yikes!

they were always going to lose yesterday. The question was by how much.

The important thing for them given their first results was to get one win from the two games, which they managed - to everyone's surprise.

And if they still don't qualify, I'm not sure it's a bad thing either. They've got the best chance in years to win the league this year, so no CL distraction could be a very good thing to help that along.

That win in the first game though might be there downfall. There's a very good chance that win will give them the Europa league in the spring.

      sub yes I could see but I don't think they get 1hr 15, a headliner starting at 18:15 though is unlikely. Even the recent co-headlines that have had like 1hr 15 then a 1hr 30 after were on 8pm or just before, you are trailing behind more than 1.5 hours then. In that scenario some 3rd down bands are only starting at 18:15 and some haven't lol. I agree they won't not book them due to this but it won't be 6 headliners. It would be 5 headliners and you wouldn't want to see 5 headliners booked but Biffy were to not be thouhgt of as an option for one. Wolf Alice on the other hand could sub no bother and you'd think nothing of it. I'm not so sure Biffy would get headline though after the festival choice in Kendal this year.

      Definitely. UKIP also used Merkel welcoming 1 million Afgans to Europe in 2015 during the brexit vote.   Politicians in other countries within the EU know the are going to lose voters to parties to the right of them over stuff like this and they've no control over it.

      I think it will very much vary on who there is to book who they know will sell out a day.    They’ve co-headline and full headline stuff in future, there no reason at all they won’t do it again, even if it means cutting someone’s set by 15 mins or having a band less in a big bands day…   They’re not going to not book Foo fighters and instead get the equivalent of Florence and C&S just to not have a band do a big set…   …unless of course they think it will make them more money…

      Maybe some right wing leaders like Meloni are just playing to their base, like Reform have been here talking about them ending up at Calais.

      Citizenship via investment programs basically work by saying if you invest this much in our economy (say buy a property worth x) then we will either grant you citizenship or residency with a route to it. The EU has rules on how low countries can set the bar. Montenegro was one of the easier ones to get and they've had to tighten it up.
