EPL top four predictions

Let's face it, the English Prem is the toughest football league, top to bottom, in the entire world. The best players (outside of Barcelona), the best fans, the coolest managers, and by far the most exciting brand of football. La Liga is no joke, don't get me wrong, but as far as quality goes--and quality means everything when it comes to top tier footy--Spain doesn't have it outside of their top six or eight clubs. And even that's being generous. Germany and Italy have both fallen off the face of respectability as far as I'm concerned. Go a season without scandal, then we'll talk.

Everyone likes Chelsea but me. I like their players, but only as individuals, not as a unit which wears blue and reeks of the New York Yankees. Did you know Bin Laden is a Chelsea supporter? So is the guy from North Korea. I'm not making this up. I think they're loaded at every position, but for me to pick them at the top goes against everything I stand for. Let's not forget this is the team that lost to the MLS Allstars in July. That's just inexcusable. So as much as I want to see Reading or Tottenham win the Prem, these are realistic predictions so I'm going with another often loathed squad, Manchester United.

Anyone who wants to argue I'd like you to see the ninety minutes they put in versus Bolton yesterday. Goodness gracious, they are going to score more goals then any team in the league, including the 40 (that's right, forty) that Rooney's good for. Second will be Liverpool, in a title chase that comes down to last few fixtures of Spring, followed by Chelsea third and Tottenham inching past rivals Arsenal for fourth. I implore you to give me your four, especially if you don't have Chelsea in your top two. Call me crazy but isn't it ok to not like a team based on their philosophies? Alright then, come on you Reds!
