There’s something about a Haiku that just brings they bottom line to the top. Will United hoist the trophy again? Will Arsenal break the trophy-free streak? Will Blackburn stay in the top flight? How better to assess the fortunes of the twenty sides starting off the English Premier League seasons than with sixty lines of 5-7-5:
1. Manchester United
Hunting for twenty
Chicharito and Rooney
Twenty it shall be
2. Chelsea
A lock for top three
Pressure on the continent
Need champions league run
3. Liverpool
Still reeling from 6th
Can money buy happiness?
Buys champions league spot
4. Manchester City
Away goes Tevez?
Well replaced by Aguero
Yet still not on top
5. Arsenal
Six trophy free years
Stop second half fade or else
Farewell to Arsene
6. Tottenham
Disappointing fifth
Firedel is the big transfer?
Fifth starts to look good
7. Everton
Can they win in August?
Must for a premier league shot
Unlikely they will
8. West Brom
What can Hodgson do?
A lot with Odemwingie
Solid top ten team
9. Sunderland
Late season collapse
Bent took their mojo with him
Best case Europa
10. Fulham
Draws, draws, draws and draws
Will Jol turn them into wins?
Yes… in Europa
11. Bolton
Top ten is in sight
Need to go forward shopping
Else where’s all the goals?
12. QPR
Championship champs
Relegation unlikely
Adel gets them 12th
13. Wolves
3rd year in top flight
Getting comfortable there
Rising to mid table
14. Aston Villa
Can Bent do it all?
Hard to imagine he can
Relegation fight
15. Norwich City
Back-to-back promos
Long stay in the Premiership?
Paul Lambert says yes
16. Stoke
Nice FA cup run
Yet still can’t win on the road
FA cup repeat
17. Newcastle
Mid-table last year
Europe or bust for Pardew
Expecting ‘or bust’
18. Swansea
Playoff promoted
Premier league taste for Wales
Championship bound
19. Blackburn
Defense looking weak
Offense looking weaker still
A long year ahead
20. Wigan
Bye bye N’Zogbia
Relegation fight again
No escape this time
And there you have it, everything you need to know to nail your Premier League predictions for 2011/12. Enjoy the season!
