Well Lads n Lasses the new Football season is a mere two weeks away (if your a fan from the football league, 3 weeks for the Prem). Will Newcastle storm the Coca Cola or get relegated to the 3rd tier of English Football. Will Liverpool finally break their duck and be the champions of the top flight. So what's your predictions for all the major silverware, promotions and relegations and how do you think your club will fare this season ?
So to get the ball rolling
FA Premiership
1st - Chelsea
2nd - Man Utd
3rd - Liverpool
4th - Siddy
Relegated
Birmingham
Stoke
Burnley
FA Cup
Arsenal
League Cup
Everton
Champs League
Inter Milan
My Team - Man Utd
I think this is going to be one of them seasons where the squad is being rebuilt again. Tevez and Ronaldo gone and Giggs, Neville, VDS & Scholes surely on their last outings in the top flight this year will see players like Macheda, Foster & Gibson more time in and around the 1st team to see if they can step upto the plate in years to come.
Owen I think could be a good signing but I don't want him a regular fixture at the expense of Rooney playing central. I'm disappointed he has been given the number 7 shirt, really disappointed. I think the key to our success will be the continued(or lack of it) fitness of Owen Hargreaves. Him being fit last season would have seen us draw if not win at least one of our defeats to Liverpool in my opinion.
As for the rest of the prem. I think Chelsea will be the team to beat this year. I don't think there squad is big enough to cope with a full domestic and euro campaign on both fronts. A very good strong team all over and good depth to the squad. Possibility of a 'Marquee' signing makes them my favourites.
Arsenal have done good business to get rid of Adebayor at that price but unless they add some steel to their midfield then I cant see them doing nothing more than chase the pack. All the Arsenal fans are creaming their keks at the prospect of Rosicky returning 'Its like a new signing' we hear them say but is he all that ??? Not really.
Liverpool are a funny one because they definitely need another forward to take the pressure off Torres. I doubt there is a better number nine at present but this is a compressed season and him already having gone through two short summers may take it's toll especially in a world cup year. Their finances may dictate their success this year. I still question Rafa's judgement on paying £18m for Johnson when there are more pressing areas that need attention.
Siddy - Well they are spending big. Having the ability to go 7 days between games due to no euro commitments means they should be fresh for each game. The balancing act will be keeping them all happy.
