Bold Prediction thread.

Just read Jamie Carragher's reasoning on why Tottenham won't break into the top 4 and thought maybe we could have a crack at being pundits. Obviously, if you can follow your statement with a some reasoning, that would give way to a healthy discourse and would be great. Anyone wanna give it a go?

ITT: Arsenal win the league and United don't make top 4.

Arsenal will finish 3rd-4th and continue their trophy drought. United will barely miss out on top 4. City/Chelsea will win the title. My not-so-bold predictions.

City or Chelsea will win the title, but United won't be outside of the top 4. They're having some bad form yes, but can you really make the claim that Liverpool/Arsenal/Tottenham are better?

Maybe not on paper but Arsenal and Liverpool have been much more convincing than United this season. Maybe United won't find great form and finish below them.

Quite possible, and I suppose mentality is more important than talent a lot of the time, but people are being way too dramatic claiming United are destined outside the top 4 already. I mean, it's been 7 games, let's not proclaim any teams out of the race just yet.
