I think Everton will make top 7 most years.
In terms of squad and manager it probably goes
City
Chelsea
Liverpool
Arsenal
United
Everton
Tottenham
There aren't any others that will break into that 7.
What happens next year when Lukaku and Deulafeo go? You will have to spend and I don't think you will get top 4. That will damage the transfer kitty.
Draws with Utd and City I think you will get.
Who is to say Deulafeo will go ? Maybe he will given Barca have a transfer ban but if they can still loan players out I can't think of a much better place for them to loan players too. Let's not forget Martinez is a Catalan. Look at it from Barca's perspective....Martinez plays passing football and he'll play them regularly in what is probably the most competitive league in the world.In terms of squad and manager it probably goes
City
Chelsea
Liverpool
Arsenal
United
Everton

Here are the statistics for the last 5 Palace games regarding posession:
Chelsea 67% - Palace 33% (win)
Cardiff 63% - Palace 37% (win)
A Villa 57% - Palace 43% (win)
Everton 69% - Palace 31% (win)
West Hm 65% - Palace 35% (win)
There is a clear trend that the strategy they have adopted isn't possession and realistically they leave the opposition in their own half with the ball mostly unchallenged. I think that possession in one's own half shouldn't be counted, only when in the oppositions half for true effective possession impact.
Palace will leave the opposition to play with the ball in their own half, concentrate on defending their half and attempt to score on the break. Sounds easy and is working very well but organising a rock solid defense that needs to concentrate for 90mins is the hard part.
I don't disagree with your analysis, I was questioning your assertion that Palace outplayed Everton, they didn't. You played well on the break and converted your chances, great performance away from home but we froze on the night.Chelsea 67% - Palace 33% (win)
Cardiff 63% - Palace 37% (win)
A Villa 57% - Palace 43% (win)
Everton 69% - Palace 31% (win)

Yes I think we will get another season with Dufflecoat.
Not a chance. The Catalans are at their wits end with Pedro, Tello and Alexis. Large majority of fans wanted Duffleou (sp?) back early. If a partnership can be struck up with Everton and their Acadamy then that will be very good news Indeed. Their Barca B team will be competitive in the prem IMHO. There's a host of names that would beinifit from a loan spell.
