Ahhh football
Premier League, while I think Chelsea will stumble for the minute they are too powerful so will retain the league.
Liverpool- great summer signings can't be denied the likes of Aurelio ona Free and Bellamy are starting to give them a stable squad, but these players still need to gel together, and there is still that feeling that Gerrard keeps them going, they'll pick up really good in about November/December and we'll see them push to 4th.
Arsenal - One signing to date which hasn't pleased Titi at all. Sadly Bentneder has gone on loan to Brum which is a shame because I hoped this would be the season for the likes of himself and Lupoli who himself has joined Derby on loan. Rosiky has the promise to be great and is what Henry's been after. i'd say 3rd.
Manchester United - If they stay consistent they could really push Chelsea, they lost Rudd but in Saha they have a player that can get 20 a season and proved that with Fulham , Ole back is like another signing too and if Park can get his arse into gear they really could hit 2nd.
Tottenham - The party's over for Jol and his posse, now Carrick's gone it falls to the likes of Huddlestone and Jenas, with the first being still a bit too young in my eyes and the latter not big enough to fill Carrick's attacking boots. Berbatov looks good, but won't get his 20 a season quota he set himself, and Defoe will become frustrated.
Now the relegation fight.
Watford - Great for Boothroyd and his lads to get where they are, but they have only bought Damien Francis, who is their current top scorer, they have the money but Boothroyd's reluctance to delve into the foreign markets by his own admission will make them suffer, luckily to go up really.
Reading - Got the money, got the brains but not spending. Will get goals with the likes of Seol and Lita but still look weak at the back, the goalkeeper Hanamehn looks poor too.
Sheff Utd- Love to see them stay up a fan of Warnock, but I think his complaining will really piss others off. Few signings, bar like Hulse and Legiertwood who are un-proven at this level.
And for the Blackburn fan - personally not a fan of them, cos they have scored to blatent handballs against us in two seasons. Some decent players the likes of Emerton , Reid, and Neill. Benni McCarthy is a big gamble as is Jeffers who couldn't score in a Brothel. Roberts looks a sound buy and if he can get a good partnership with Benni then see them in the UEFA cup again.
My own side- once again it's a "We look great on paper....when we get all our players back" Martins looks quality, and we arent' finished in the transfer market luckily. A good fullback maybe Bridge and a target man for Martins to work with could hopefully get us into the CL. Also Paul Hunnington could come forth as a good defender from the youth squad.
Cardiff Brum by the way seemed a big game, Chopra could really do well in that league put a bet on for him to get Double figures. Cameron Jermoe just left for Brum too which will no doubt piss off Cardiff fans, these too could be up the top with Bendnter of Arsenal also looking really good prospect.
As for Chelsea match, shame to say but Roberts honesty stopped him getting a penalty, with Oijer looking too tired by the end a bad idea by Hughes to play him.
