Good times!!
Now if ESPN could make up their flippin' mind whether they were broadcasting in the US or not I'll set my alarm clock. Chances are they'll show the Chelsea game tomorrow which will be on at 4:45 am - better get the kettle on sharpish when that alarm goes.

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.

QUOTE (Iommi @ Aug 15 2009, 08:59 AM) Theoretically, this should be a tighter season that the last one. I suspect Chelsea and Man Utd will be the favourites, but I suspect that Liverpool might make a better go of it this time. Spurs might make a better go of it, but can they keep up their form they showed in the second half of last season. I can't see Arsenal doing anything. I wouldn't be surprised if Wenger walked this coming season. 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?

QUOTE (J C @ Aug 15 2009, 10:10 AM) I'll be interested to see how Man City do this season with the amount of money that they have spent. I heard that Blackburns tactics today was to kick City as hard as they can As for the Mighty Hammers, first page of ceefax and not having to sell our best players to pay off the Icelandics debt will do me fine for this season! West Ham have always been a dark horse and I think they will do well… how well I am not sure but they won’t suffer relegation. I think Blackburn will finish above the relegation zone.

QUOTE (Strafin @ Aug 15 2009, 10:16 AM) Well you're all going to be bitterly disappointed when Fulham lift the trophy then! That is what I like to see on these boards a fantasist. I do think Fulham will do well however. I’ve been to Craven cottage a number of times. I used to live not far from their ground; Barons Court.

QUOTE (Strafin @ Aug 15 2009, 12:00 PM) I think Spurs will do well, probably fifth for them, Man Utd will win the league. Fulham I reckon seventh, we are not used to playing so many games and that will show. I think it's too early to predict relegations but the obvious choice would be Burnley. Man City won't do as well as expected, I guess sixth. Chelsea second, Liverpool third, Arsenal fourth, and Spurs fifth. I don’t think Arsenal will do that well and I can’t see Man Utd winning the league. Liverpool will do well, as will Chelsea. I think Spurs will do better than last year. I also predict that Spurs will win a trophy. I don't think Burnley or Wolves will get relegated. In fact I think Burnely will do well.

QUOTE (GMR @ Aug 15 2009, 11:13 AM) RIGHT; WHO DO YOU THINK WILL GET RELEGATED? I think Hull will really struggle, didn't they win only one in their last 22 of the season? Portsmouth will be in trouble unless they can find a buyer with money and history suggests at least one of the promoted teams will go down again.

I agree with that but I wouldn’t like to see Hull go down. I am glad they stayed up and I thought Newcastle deserved to go down. I also don’t think they will go straight up. Alan Shearer said he was discussed the way things have gone. They’ve sold and having replaced any of their players. They are the team to beat this season. I also can’t see Reading up either.
