So the Championship kicks off ths Saturday with the Premiership the following week. No major international tournaments next summer but plenty of qualifiers. Still a lot of wheeling and dealing to be done before the transfer deadline in all divisions and all ends of the table. The Championship looks an intriguing division this year and will be as difficult to stay in as it will be to gain promotion.
As for the Premier League, I don't think teams below the top four, bar Spurs,have strengthened sufficiently to break into that top four. Spurs have done a lot of strengthening but it will take time for them all to gel together.
Here's my predictions for this coming season.
Your Team's Predictions I think United will do alright again this season and I predict we will retain the Premier League. Our two immediate problems are who is going to be the number 2 and will we get another forward. In most departments we have some good strength in depth with a good mix of age and experience. The biggest problem for me is getting in a number 2 who can gain the respect of the foreign players like Quieroz did and ensure we remain tactically dilligent as we have done over the past few seasons.
FA Prem
Utd
Arsenal
Chelsea
Liverpool
To be relegated:Stoke, West Brom, Fulham
FA Cup
Liverpool
League Cup
Siddy
Champions League
Tough one but I think that it maybe heading back to Italy with Inter or Juve taking it this year. Both look very strong defensively. Although they wont score lots they will be hard to break down.
Suprise Package of the season and team to avoid relegation on the last day
Middlesboro and Newcastle respectively
