Are you eagerly awaiting the start of the English Football season?

For all you Stoke City fans

Are you eagerly awaiting the start of the English Football season?

Postby K_P___Rest_In_Peac on Wed Jun 30, 2010 2:04 pm

Ok lets preview the main clubs

Chelsea- The defending champion has released a creative player in Joe Cole and a tough tackling midfileder in Micheal Ballack. However they have a wealth of attacking talent coming through the academy. With the likes of Kakuta and Hutchinson along with veterans like Terry Lampard and Drogba - Chelsea have more than just a fair chance of winning the title - especially with Old Carlo in charge

Manchester United- The Red Devils lost their crown last season and are eagerly awaiting to retain the trophy from the clutches of Chelsea.Sir Alex Ferguson's squad has a host of veterans who would want to retire on the highest note by clinching the 19th title. Wayne Rooney is coming back from a fantastic season and if he does hit his peak this season it is hard to see United not winning the title. He is capably supplied by Antonio Valencia and Nani along with Berbatov he can form a lethal partnership.

Arsenal- With the possible signing of Joe Cole the Gunners are adding more silk to their squad rather than steel.The problem for Arsene Wenger's men is that they always fall short when it comes to physical battles of Blackburn and Stoke. The signing of Chamakh is some what of a replacement for Adebayor. The Gunners are the dark horses in the title race

Tottenham Hotspur- The distraction of Champions League Football might prove too much for Harry Redknapp's Spurs to concentrate on the league. Despite this the squad has a wealth of attacking talent but will mostly be over powered by the likes of Manchester City and Liverpool next season.

Manchester City- In trusting Roberto Mancini for one more year - The ABU Dhabi grou have taken a wise decision. With the imminent arrivals of Silva, Milner and Boateng bolsters their already great squad. Adam Johnson could be a revelation. If things go well - its hard to see Mancini's men finishing below 4th

Liverpool- Written off, in ashes- the phoenix called Liverpool might gloriously arise from the ashes and restore the pride and glory of the club. One shouldn't at any cost under-estimate the squad containing Steven Gerrard Fernando Torres and Javier Mascherano. The will and determination of these players is too high for them to subdue without a fight. Roy Hodgson's first assignment at a big English club is a tough one

Is this an unbiased observation?

Prediction
1. Chelsea
2. Manchester United
3. Manchester City
4. Liverpool
5. Arsenal
6. Spurs

Yours?

My prediction
1. Manchester United
2. Arsenal
3. Manchester City
4. Liverpool
5. Chelsea
6. Spurs

Manchester United with the signing of Javier Hernandez have a real talent. He has been impressive for Mexico in this world cup.

Arsenal are a mixed bag and are inconsistent. They will challenge all the way through the season but I don't think they will quite make it.

Manchester City will no doubt improve this season and break into the top 4. They will be challenging other top teams but are not quite there yet to be favourites to win the Premier League.

Liverpool will bounce back from a bad season. Hodgson will improve the team dynamic and start to rebuild the team.

Chelsea will start to suffer from an ageing team. They remind me of AC Milan team of 2007/2008 when they finished 5th despite having won the champions league the year before.

Spurs broke into the top 4 by profiting from the failings of Manchester City and Liverpool. With these 2 teams improving and the extra demands of champions league football, I can't see how Spurs will finish higher than 6th place.
