After seeing the new fixture list it makes you realise that there are actually no easy games, once you get outside of the top 5 or 6 I don't think there's a great deal between any of the remaining teams, yes you could say that the newly promoted sides should be the bottom 3 but even they won't be easy to beat particularly on their ground, teams that you could say would be lower half teams, the likes of West Brom, Stoke or Villa will be better next season, perhaps Leicester and Newcastle may struggle a bit but it certainly makes you realise that finishing in the top half for any of the non top 4 sides is no mean feat really, I think we need some points on the board early on to settle the nerves, hopefully we'll pick up a point or 3 at the Emirates to start us off!
What usually makes the
What usually makes the difference is "commitment" Chippy. No matter what way you dress it up Watford, Norwich and Bourmouth will by a long way have the poorest squads. Your right re " not much to chose between 5th and 15th"...but the Evertons Sotons,Swansea's etc will set about their home fixtures(in particular) and the majority of their away games with commitment, passion and a sound game plan which will ensure a mid table finish at least and a good chance of pushing on for top 8. I think we will be much better equipped this season to at least join the aforementioned and hopefully with a few good additions to the squad might challenge higher.
BPL becoming ever more competitive
YEP! Dave, BPL becoming ever more competitive,Concentration is key,every game at this level is a big test,and we will have to make sure we're ready by preparing as well as we possibly can,i hope we've found a solution with conceding late goals from last season every pt is vital,thats why most of the matches are like this 1-0, 2-1, 1-1, 0-0 no pushovers!
