Football is back!!!

Football is back!! The Premier League kick off is only 2 days away and the Champions League, Championship, Carling Cup and football league are already underway. There has already been a smattering of football on TV with pre season friendlies on Sky, Setanta and Channel 5, the Football League and Championship games have started on Sky Uefa Cup qualifiers and Champions League qualifiers on Channel 5 and ITV. Sky maybe the home of the Premeire League but football is on a whole range of channels this season, every day of the week.

The big story from the European Qualifiers is the ongoing Gareth Barry transfer Saga. Liverpool played Alonso in their game, where they were lucky to get a draw against Belgian champions Standard Leige and Barry played and scored again Aston Villas 4-1 victory over Icelands FH Hafnarfjordur. This pretty much puts an end to the saga with Barry now cup tied in European Competition until February.

The question is will Villa fans accept him back and will he skipper the side again?

I think once Barry starts scoring for Villa agian the fans will forgive him, he is a quality player who wanted to play champions league football and I'm sure he would have been an excellent acqusition for Liverpool. Now can Barry and Aston Villa break into the top four maybe ousting out the Merseysiders?

And it is the Premier League which kicks off on Saturday. Regarded as the best and most famous leauge in world football their is no doubt that Premier League football is exciting and fast paced, however some say it is also predicatble, but is it?

The start of a new season is the only time when all teams are level and football fans are full of optimisim but will it be the usual suspects Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal in the top four, or can Spurs, Villa, Portsmouth or Everton crash the party this season?

There are no answers at this stage of the season only questions, the two that matter the most though are who will win the league? and Who will go do down?I think the top 6 will be tight this year with, Liverpool, pushing Manchsetr United and Chelsea all the way to the final day, but not too far behind I think Arsenal, Spurs and Portsmouth will be challenging for 4th spot. In the relegation battle it is difficult to see Stoke or Hull staying up, however I think West Brom might just nick it with Bolton being relegated.
