So the Premier League season is about to start, and although Travis already went team-by-team and told you precisely who will finish where, you're not here just for him. (Sorry, Travis.) It's time to absorb the full force of the combined soccer wisdom of the Short Fuse team. Or at least everyone who was able to respond to an email in time.
We're going to pick your top four, your automatic Europa League qualifier, and your unlucky relegates. And then we're also going to pick the biggest event yet to come in this dawning season. LET'S GET TO ALL THE FOOTBALL.

Predictions, Sane and Otherwise
Aidan
Yaya Sanogo will become the first choice striker for Arsenal's 'big games' by December.
Paul
Instead of making people angry by falling out of contention in February, Arsenal break people's hearts by dropping points to West Brom on the last day of the season.
Travis
Per Mertesacker scores at least five goals this season.
FBJ
Down 2-0 to Chelsea at halftime, Louis van Gaal drops his pants in an attempt to assert his dominance over a spiraling squad. Phil Jones stands up and drops his too because he thinks it's a team-building exercise.
Ted
ANTS!
Phil
Arsenal will land at least one more player in the Spendy Zone™ (over £40m) before the summer transfer window closes.
Thomas
In the Champions League knockouts (yes, I think we'll get into and out of the group), Arsenal will beat a traditional world power after being widely considered underdogs. And Ajax doesn't count.
