I still don't know, at the start of summer although i am Manchester United, i expected Chelsea to take it. Chelsea have a lot of injuries, Liverpool wants to be in the top after a lot of years but i don't think is ready enough to do it. Arsenal has more options after Henry's departure but without him they will loose even more points against "small teams" playing defensively. I don't have an opinion about Tottenham, while i am sure that Newcastle will have a great season, they kept their players, Luque is after a long time in shape, they made good transfers and they got a very good coach Alardais. Finally City made good transfers with Ericsson back in coaching but they will need time tight themselves, as far as United will probably be even better from last year and maybe is again the 1 now at the starting...

Why have you got Chelsea twice on the list and no Liverpool?

Its going to be between Chelsea and Manchester United, both squads are very strong the latter being slightly better off. They've added Nani, Anderson, Hargreaves and Tevez already to a squad which consists of Rooney and Ronaldo. Chelsea on the other hand are probably just the same as last season with the arrival of Malouda who will probably replace Robben, if Chelsea can remain without injury for the whole season I can see them competing with Manchester United all the way.

Liverpool I dont think have the depth to remain consistent, one week they can play great football and another week they might struggle. Also the arrival of Torres cant win them the title as he might take time to adjust to the league, who knows? They might challenge for the title next year or maybe the year after. Arsenal consist of too many youngsters and for them to have a great season I think Persie must step up a level or two and remain injury free, a lot of focus will be on Eduardo. There has been a lot of talk in the pre-season about Arsenal fighting with Tottenham for the 4th place, to me it can easily be a fight for the 3rd and 4th place between Arsenal, Liverpool and Tottenham. Then again watching Tottenhams first half against Sunderland they have a lot of improving to do.

I have to vote for Utd though its harder to defend a title as everyone wants to beat he champions. Hargreaves is the missing link from last season and gives Utd a proper defensive midfielder for the first time in a few years, as long as the first choice defence is fit Utd should have enough attacking options to keep the title.

I think this season is going to be a lot more interesting...
more clubs will be near the top. I may love Arsenal, but
they will be in 3rd or 4th. It pains me to say it, but
MUFC or Chelsea will vye for the title. LFC and NUFC will be
round out the top 5.

Fat Frank isnt getting his contract extended as he has his eyes set on a move to Barcelona, Essien suffered a pretty nasty injury yesterday - there goes your mighty midfield.

Half of the members believe that Emerson should come 2 ACM , I have to say, if ACM really wants to get a new midfielder then why noy Frank Lampard???? After all he knows how to win a league

So b4 Barca gets that gem, ACM should get him
+
Chelsea got the ex-Prince of San Siro ($hevchenko) ,
Now if we get the King of Stamford Bridge
then we will get even with Chelsea


simply


They took our best player, We will take their best player & its as simple as that

I highly doubt he will end up in Milan.

Half time Man United are 1-0 down against Manchester City, its a shame because they have created so many chances.

Giovanni with a cracker but it looks like it took a deflection, wonder whose going to get the hairdryer treatment.

bad start continues, 3 games in and should have won them all, City were totally outclassed all game long but scored a deflected 25 yarder with their only decent attack of the whole game

Fergie will be extremely angry but really he cant tear into the players as they havent really done anything wrong, if they'd had luck today Nani and Tevez couldve had a hattrick each Hopefully Liverpool will beat Chelsea today and at least keep the gap the same..

I dont agree Stez because what is the first lesson of a defender? Im sure its never turn your back on an opposing player when there shooting, if Vidic didnt swivel that shot would not have deflected off him. Now if we look at the defenders on the other side Dunne & Richards (Who Imo was mom) they wouldnt of turned their backs.

I have to say the way things are going Chelsea are the favorites now, they are just too strong and consistent. If they win today I think they'll have 7 points lead over Man United and its only the second week, United have a lot of catching up to do, No Ronaldo for the next two games and no Rooney for the next two months must hurt. Tevez had way too many chances and im sure if he was replaced by Rooney then half the goals would of easily gone in.

Yeah Rooney wouldve scored today im sure of it, Tevez is snatching at chances a little as he is so desperate to score but he will come good, with Rooney, Saha and Ronaldo to come back in the attack will be fine but short term its going to be a struggle. If Chelsea do lose to Liverpool (and they currently are) then its not too bad a situation as long as no further damage is done .

Its true Vidic couldve closed the shot better but thats just about the only error and yet Utd have lost 7 points! in fact barring a 10 minute spell at Pompey the Utd defence hasnt had anything to do in those 3 games either, today they spent most of the game collecting City's hoofed clearances

Richards was absolutely immense though today, Tevez couldnt escape him no matter what he tried.
