English Premiership 2007/2008 Dark Horse

Ucbet

Ok, we all know the top 3 would definetely be occupied with Chelsea, MU and Liverpool. Most likely on the 4th would be Arsenal.

However, who is your dark horse this year to break the top 4 ???

For me persoanlly I think its Newcastle. They have made great signing over the break. Joey Barton might be an exception. But I guess Sam Allardyce should have something in his hand to manage this angry boy. Geremi looked to be a solid signing while Luque seems to find his form in recent friendlies.

What about you guys ?? Whos your dark horse for this season ???

Spurs. Clearly, they've spent quite a bit of money in this summer market. It would be a shame and a big waste if they don't manage reaching the Champions League at least. I think that they have the courage to defeat old rivals Arsenal once and for all.

Eitehr Man City or Spurs will break into the Top4 this season.

Although I am loathe to discount Arsenal, Wenger is a very shrewd manager and he has still got a very strong team.

But yea, with Spurs or Man City.

A more intersting question is if Gretna can survive in the SPL or not.

Gretna .... the Scottish League, I don't think so. It seems quite unlikely.

I can't see anyone breaking into the top 4. If I had to say, my guess would be either Man City or Spurs. But in reality I don't think either will. The relegation battle might be interesting - but unfortunately I can't see beyond the three promoted teams going straight back down.

And as for Gretna... well, they didn't get off to the best of starts. I don't think they'll be thrashed every game, but it will certainly be tough for them to finish anywhere other than last place.
