QUOTE (GMR @ Aug 15 2009, 12:45 AM)  Chelsea is my second team so you are half alright. If you had said Arsenal we would be praying for you right now. Spurs won't be kicking off until Sunday; we've got Liverpool. A nice easy game to start the football season off with.  A second team ? My word old chap why don't you support them all then then you will not only win everything and get relegated at the same time but you can also have great debates with yourself over who is the best at , say , running onto the field. Sorry didn't mean to be sarcastic. -------------------- Rem tene verba sequentur

I know, I don't get it either! Let's just all support football? Doesn't make sense but each to their own.... |

Sorry didn't mean to be sarcastic. You fire away my friend... it all makes for good debate  I said a second team, not every team.

Are you a liverpool supporter then? Liverpool were only beaten twice in the league last season and one of them was by Spurs. If we hadn't beaten you, you might have gone on and won the league. We also knocked you out of the League cup. The better team won on the day. We had a better squad at the end of the day.

6 yellow cards - 3 a piece doesn't sound like too much quality to me, but at least it was even! Fair play Spurs - I'm off to wind up my Liverpool mates!

He used language that black-men still use today. It was wrong what he said, but so is the language that is used by today's black population. Ron Atkinson was one of the first managers to put black players into the football league. it is also interesting to see him being put with with Tessa Sanderson. |

QUOTE (GMR @ Aug 15 2009, 11:13 AM) I can’t argue with that evaluation. I would prefer Chelsea to finish top with Man Utd third or fourth. I think Arsenal will struggle. It would be interesting to see how Man city does… they should, in theory, do better than they did last year. Aston Villa could be a dark horse. Spurs should do better than last year as they seem a lot stronger; the only thing that worries me is their defence. They’ve got Woodgate, Dawson and maybe King out for the start of the season. They’ve got no problems in their strike force and midfield seems ok. RIGHT; WHO DO YOU THINK WILL GET RELEGATED? Arsenal certainly "struggled" didn'ty they and those "dark horses" Villa started really well too. COME ON CHELSEA!!!! |

I was disappointed with Villa and maybe they won’t do so well as I first thought. I did say that I didn’t think Everton would do so well and I still say that Arsenal will struggle. I do think Chelsea will win the league as I can’t see United or Liverpool doing it this season. Spurs could be a dark horse. They’ve built on last seasons performance. |

I think it is still way to early to predict. I think the top five will be who predicted, but not sure if that will be the order. Plus Manchester United don't ever tend to do that well at the beginning of the season. Will Arsenal keep this up on season, I don't know, it will be interesting to see what happens!

Me and a bunch of mates try to predict the league every season, before a ball is kicked. I posted my predicted table in exactly the order I did to them last week. |
