I think Tottenham Hotspur can pull of a surprise this season. They are allready working a couple of years now on the road to become a team which can compete with the top of the Premier League. The capture of Bent could have given them the extra they needed to become the top.
ManU obviously have problems. The don't have a real goalgetter and allready last year it was said that they didn't have the best of defences, but with all the money Ferguson spent on the transfermarket he didn't do anything about it. They still can't miss their stars, certainly not in defence and that is what is going to cost them the Premier League.
Chelsea is just missing something. Their system just doesn't work so well anymore. They play very static, but they play in a formation with wich they should play in a mobile way. I do think that they are better then ManU this year though, certainly if they will get Alves.
For me Liverpool is the strongest of the top four (ManU, Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal). Their organisation and defence is, as always under Benitez, very good and Torres gives them much more mobility upfront and that will almost automatically lead to more goals (not necessarily scored by Torres). Plus they have Gerrard, who wins more games for Liverpool then Kaka' does for Milan and that says a lot.
Arsenal is full of talent, but they will miss experience (of Henry) to win the Premier League. they just still need a couple of years and if they then still have all the players they have now, then they will surely be very strong.

The things go very bad but don't put away MU so early, by sure they will make their counterattack and when they make this almost nothing can stop them....

Glory!! Glory!! Manchester United!!

This year Liverpool will earn enough points, my vote goes to Tottenham anyway, but this will shock you probably even more.

To say Tottenham will win the league you must be on drugs, they won a team that just came from the fizzy pop league 4-0 (the fans are saying top 4 is guaranteed now) to me its pretty comical because if we had any team from the top 4 playing at WHL the score would not of been the same.

I personally think Jol will be the first to go, then probably most likely Sammy Lee.

Top teams have not had much luck, Man United with R&R out, Arsenal with a muppet between the posts, Liverpool who deserved to win yesterday and Chelsea with early injuries. I still think this season will be pretty close tho (between the top 2, 3 or 4) I just dont know. One more thing if Chelsea fail in Europe another season I cant see Roman keeping Jomo, no matter how successful he is domestically.

I didn't vote for Tottenham because they just won a game 4-0 and I am not on drugs.
But Tottenham is a team in a growing progress. They want to become a member of the top in the Premier League and sometimes there is a season when that's more possible for a subfavorite then in another season and I think that this will be this season.
After the weekend we will know a lot more, because it is Manchester United - Tottenham Hotspurs and it will be a must-win-game for ManU.

Man U will be strong beacuse of their signings, particularly Tevez and Hargreaves but will be the dark horse this year.

United, Liverpoll and Chelsky are the only teams that can win it this year.

I have a feeling Liverpool are not ready yet to win Premiership, so I thing its again all about Chelsea and United. I give my "vote" to Mourinho's team...

Hmmmm I think the PL are going to get rid of all the referees one by one.

The scenes before the Nani goal were ridiculous.

1. Vidic wipes Berbatov out deliberately, which is a touch and go whether its a free kick or penalty. But it's a clear red card.

2. Berbatov shoots no goalie in the net hits Brown on the arm, stops the ball going in, he doesn't try and move his arm out the way. Penalty + Red card.

And then after the goal Bale layed the ball off to someone and it hit Ferdinand on the arms in the box, could have been a penalty..

3 potential penalties, 2 stone wall. 2 red cards.

I think they need to dump the referee and the linesman in the Spurs attacking half, out of the league. Or suspend them. Because Howard Webb has refereed this game close to the worst I have ever seen a referee officiate a game.

We'll see the FA's biased on matters after this game, the referee in the Liverpool v Chelsea game got a one match drop, I hope this referee gets punished.

Medellin, Specsavers could save you making such foolish statements and i suggest you pop by for a test

1. Vidic totally had eyes on the ball and Berbatov ran into him from behind, if he can do that deliberately then Vidic has the best awareness of any defender in the history of the game

2. The ball hit Brown just above the left side of his ribcage as the slow motion proved afterwards. Just because Martin Jol 50 yards away screamed for a penalty it doesnt mean he should get one!

3. Rio handball? thats really scraping the barrel....

The ref has been vindicated on every call by video footage so instead of a ban he deserves a payrise

Good to see that one can always rely on Steza's impartial review of ManU games
As usual, he has found an explanation/excuse for virtually every question mark that might have been raised upon the merits and abilities of, without a doubt, the best team in the world

After todays game one would have thought that Steza would have had his hands full but hey, here he comes again, stronger than ever and, as always, ManU is a virgin ... who somehow got pregnant, though
When will common falks finally stop questioning the righteousness of ManU's beauty
