Football on the TV: Let the season begin!!!

The season kick off is almost here and the excitement is building. Can Man City buy the title? Will Liverpool be resurgent under Roy? Will Rooney smoke the opposition? Can the Chelsea pensioners retain the title? Will Arsenal become boys 2 men? Will Blackpool win a game? Will the Toon Army think they are still a big club and better than they are?

So many questions but only time will tell, 9 months time to be exact.

The new season brings fresh hope and optimism for fans across the country, some with realistic ambitions some with delusions of grandeur, namely Newcastle Untied fans.

The race for the title is going to be tighter than ever this year and the race for the Champions League sports being even tighter. There are 7 teams battling for 4 spots this season, with Man Utd, Chelsea, Arsenal, Spurs, Liverpool, Villa and Everton all with a realistic chance of finishing in the top 4.

Many people are tipping Man City to buy their way to the title this year but I think it will be a season too soon and I think it could be Mancini who will be the first manger to get the sack.

Liverpool looked good against weak opposition last night and the signing of Joe Cole looks to be a great piece of business and I think this signing will take them back into the top four this season.

As for the title can the Chelsea old guard with the addition of the Yossi “tactically better than Joe Cole” Benayoun hold onto the Premier League or will Rooney be able to stay off the tabs long enough to fire Manchester United to their 19th title. Arsenal will need to man up if they want to mount a serious title challenge otherwise it could be the end of the road for Wenger.

At the other end of the table, I’m predicting certain relegation for Blackpool, in fact I have even put a fiver on them getting less points than Derby did. I also think West Brom, West Ham, Wigan, Wolves and Newcastle will struggle (I just noticed there are 4 teams beginning with the letter W there, amazing!!) I think Blackpool, West Brom and Wigan will be the teams to go down this season.

Anywho if you agree or don’t agree there is money to be made at the start of the season by predicting the 4 winners of the league see the video below
