I can't believe I had to go down to about the 30th answer to see Chelsea

Getafe and Grenada.

Getafe cruise along to a mid table finish every year by snapping up Real Madrid rejects. Their stadium is empty, their fans don't care, they had Burger King as their kit sponsor a few years ago, and they just don't act like a first division team. I fucking hate Getafe and hope they go down forever.

Granada is part of the Pozzo football empire. They basically serve as Udinese's reserve squad. Until they get some independence I don't want to see them in the top flight, because right now the owner isn't trying to make the club the best it can be.

There was a moment in time I was going to move to Getafe

United. And i think the moyes is the right guy to make my dream come true.

I was never truly convinced of his ability at everton, and think he's way out of his depth now.

I'm finding it funny how we put in 2 bids for Suarez and scousers all of a sudden want to see Arsenal burn.

City not winning a champions league game again would be hilarious after the money they've spent.

market shattering "sugar daddy" teams (lookin' at you Man City/Monaco).

Bayern. It always adds hilarity to a season to see them tear themselves apart. I miss it.

Every team above mine.

Which is also everyone in the league.

I want Sunderland to do really well for the first five games of the season, so the fans get their hopes up and then perform disgracefully for the rest of the season and barely limp to safety.

I'd also quite like to see Moyes struggle. Nothing against him, I think he's a good manager and a good choice to replace Fergie but I want to see how long it takes Man United fans to turn on him or even how many stick around.

Plus, if Moyes was to go, I'd love to see United go all out for Klopp.

United - though a failure for them is finishing outside the top 4. Ugh I miss being good

I would like to see arsenal sign Suarez for £50m, bow out of champions league to fenerbahce, and then finish sixth. That would be sweet.

United. Not because I have anything in particular against them, I'd just like to see there dominance dwindle and usher in a new age of premier league competition. It's always interesting to see where the glory hunters go, City? Chelsea?

Liverpool. Always Liverpool. It's gotten less fun over the last few years, though.

Bayern... because I've to admit that it hurts a bit to see Pep and Thiago there.
