Personally predicting Man City to be the new champions whilst Man Utd get relegated.
Just post anything football related,

Leeds utd relegated to the wotsit division. Notts County promoted two divsions for sheer brilliance.
Can't see Chelsea losing their title, Man Utd decline to continue. Aston Villa top 6 under Martin O'Neill. Liverpool and Arsenal to scrap over the runners up spot.

Chelsea to implode. Abramovich to be imprisoned in Siberia for conning the Russian people out of billions thus cutting the financial lifeline off Maureen.
Man Utd to implode as the Glaser's miss a monthly payment on the billion dollar loan they took out to buy the Club.
Arsenal fail to win a home league match all season as the Emirates stadium is jinxed.
Leaving the path open for LIVERPOOL to win the Premiership.

Chelski with Frankie and Ballack in center mid cant really go wrong and it seems no one else can compete with their buying power.

Sir Alex has nipped to the bank to pay the mortgage on Old Trafford.
While he is there, armed robbers hold the place up. Ever the hero, Sir Alex tackles them and gets the butt of the gun around his head for his troubles.
Knocked unconcious, he comes round a few minutes later to find one of the staff tending him.
"What happened. Where am I?" asks Sir Alex.
"Relax, Sir Alex", says the staff member. "You're in the Nationwide".
"Bloody Hell. How many seasons did I miss?"

Martin O'Neil to get Villa into top 8,Sheffield Utd,Watford and Wigan for the drop.

youve got to back Henry for top scorer I think, such a wordclass player but then again Shev is a good player and will be recieving fantastic service from 5 wordclass midfield players, so your guess is a s good as mine.
I cannot personally believe that England got McLaren as manager while Villa, probably the most boring club in the premiership got O'Neil who I think is a fantastic manager.
I think Liverpool need a few defenders before reaching second but look out for their Chilean Winger.

He will be the new Cech! Debut agaisnt the likes of Shevkhenko could be worrying though.....
Hopefully Distin off to boro for 4.5 mil!! Unlucky any middlesbrough fans.

the 2 players are owned by a media company (run by a friend of Abramovic) - looks as though a season long loan for Chelsea to decide if they want them or not and to stop them going to Man U or Arsenal
really is time the ruling bodies had a look into his dealings as its getting past a joke

No I don`t want a one horse race.
The league needs to be evened out to give the "lesser" clubs a better chance.
This deal helps West Ham - good - much better than helping ManU, Liverpool or Arsenal. If one or two of the "lesser" clubs can finish in the top four then that will be good for the Premiership.

Im happy to see Chelski reign champions, but remember a few years back fundamentalist when Man Utd won 3 titles in a row - everything changes and no doubt the one horse race will too. Chelsea have the made the league a better one - every top club now plays at a higher level because Chelsea have raised the standards, not to high for city though who were the first team to beat them after mourinho, just look at how far English teams have gone in europe the last few years.

This is, of course, a joke.
Do you not recall the flare with which Arsenal graced the field long before anybody had ever heard of Abramovic! Even Man U can stake a claim at raising the standard of the English game long before Chelsea get a mention. And (I hate to admit) but I believe that it was Spurs who first brought foreign nationals to our green shores.

surely you have enough brain cells to appreciate the way the change is happening is bad for football.
Chelsea are clearly controlling players who do not belong to their own club and have several agreements with other clubs being drawn in all the time.
If you think top flight footie is better for the fans now than 5 or 10 yrs ago (or more) you are clearly deluded

Theres an even bigger problem at championship level now. The rewards of even a single season in the premiership are so great, that managers are under stupid amounts of pressure to get promotion. This is resulting in a very competitive league being full of teams terrified to lose. result is 5 across the midfield and a dour battle to see if you can nick 3 points on the break. Far too risky to put 2 up front and go for it, because an 8 figure sum rests on getting through to the play offs and too many entertaining losses = no job.
Perhaps a limit on squad sizes in the premiership may be an answer. My glorious Leeds team of the 1970's did it with a squad of 16, playing more matches, in worse conditions and with worse equipment and training. It would certainly result in the highest quality being spread more equally and the premiership also rans could be at Championship clubs, raising their quality.
Who knows?

My initial thoughts of Roman being behind the WestHam deal have chnaged!
West Ham will soon be owned by MSI (who are not contrary to some rumurs controlled by Roman). The players will then be permanently owned by West Ham ro sold to fund the growth of West Ham!!
i wonder how pardew feels about this.........
West Ham United manager Alan Pardew has hit out at Arsene Wenger's selection policy.
Pardew believes that Arsenal rely too much on foreigners and that The FA should introduce a rule which stipulates the minimum number of Brits in a team's line-up.
Over 700 minutes of football have passed since Wenger last fielded a British player and even Real Madrid had more Englishmen than Arsenal in their squad during Wednesday's UEFA Champions League tie.
"I saw a headline saying Arsenal are flying the flag for Britain in the Champions League but I had to wonder where the British involvement was when I saw the team," said Pardew.
"There was a big commotion when that first happened and it shouldn't be washed under the mat again.
"Every English club should carry at least three British players in the first team. The foreign players have added massively to our game, but the soul of the club is the home-grown players and they should be integrated into that team.
"It is important we don't lose sight that this is the English Premier League and English players should be involved.
"I know it is difficult to buy British players because the market is expensive and only Chelsea are in a position where they can pay over the odds to bring in those players.
"But we have had to search through the lower divisions to do that and Dean Ashton was the only player we had to pay top money for."

Gavin Hoyte
Theo Walcott
Matthew Connolly
Kerrea Gilbert
Lee Butcher
Ryan Garry
Paul Rodgers
Mark Randall
Jay Simpson
Marc Elston
Rene Steer
Joe O'Cearuill
Abu Ogogo
Kieran Gibbs
James Dunne
Plus a couple out on loan. Enough to make a team I would think.
OK, so you don't recognise them all. They are not all first team members - most play regularly in the reserves (and win!). And this is precisely what makes Pardew's comments so well uniformed. Arsenal have more English players in their reserve squad (the next generation) than any other nationality and more than a great number of other 'so-called' English teams. So it appears that Arsenal actually nuture home grown talent - but that wouldn't make a great sound bite, would it!

Starfrog, if you read it properly you will see he clearly states 'First Team' players and it is reasonably hard to find three week in week out english players in that list - Cole could be off - Theo plays part and Justin is just waiting to be axed.
Well I have no memorable recognition of how exciting the premiership was ten years ago but I do enjoy it very much now and so cannot, although I would very much like to, knock your suggestions flat on the floor.
Just as a little token though , in 2005/2006 the top three highest goalscoring teams were Chelsea with 91, Man Utd with 83 and Liverpool with 82 compared to the 96/97 season in which Man Utd scored 75, Newcastle and Arsenal 68. So it seems we score quite a few more goals now.

Starfrog - Ex German paratrooper Bert Trautmann played for Man City in the early 50`s.
He played in The F.A. Cup Finals of 55 and 56 and also won the footballer of the year award. I believe he also played for the Football league team - selected from all players in the English leagues.
He also won the poll as best Manchester player in the Manchester "Football Pink" newspaper and this was with the famous Busby Babes in full cry.
A truly great player and no coincidence that the season after he retired City were relegated!!
Imagine all this about ten years after World War II - He HAD to be good.

Just watched a news clip showing a last-minute equalising Brazilian goal being allowed by a referee. A ball-boy placed the football in the back of the net, as a prank. The ref just the the goalkeeper taking the ball out of the back of the nett and assumed a goal. Amazing ignorance! The linesman seemed oblivious so the ref refused to back down. The goal stood and total bedlam broke out, as you can imagine.
BTW an interesting factor: the referee was actually a woman. Say no more other than: "kitchen, cleaning, bedroom and stay there where you belong, dear...!".
Has anybody else seen it?

Yeah it was as bad a decision as the goal that the linesman missed at Old Trafford last season when Spurs almost hit the back of the United net and the linesman and ref were the only people in the ground who didn`t see it. bentrefs.com

Yes indeed, Mr. Blueman - may have cost Spurs a Champions' League place, in the end? At least the Brazilian game had a bimbo refereeing - now what does anyone expect in that case?

Anyone feel that the Man u celtic game was fixed for the united to win - Telfer seemed intent to put his team in trouble with obviously wild passes, as did gravsesen, but telfer even went to far as to score an own goal. - United Shit.

Palermo showed West Ham to be a very moderate team.
More like a bottom 5 team than top 5.

Recall my tip of Bolton winning a European place again in May, that is providing they can keep a hold on Big Sam if/when he replaces Steve MacLaren? Mind you, that would most likely be after the end of the season judging by the 5 month wait for England's next qualifier?

Now theyve got Nico they probably can - he was awsome at city.
Was at the wigan city match the other day and couldnt believe how badly we played, Pearce may need to go soon and his signing are a disgrace, Corradi is the shitest player ive ever seen in my life.
Micah, Isasksson, Sturridge and Joey are our only hope this season.

That`s a bit tough on Distin(if he stays), and Claudio(if he`s ever fit). Also Nicky has done reasonably well.

we only try against the average teams like arsenal ( But youre looking a bit better recently - Van Persie's goal!! ) - and blueman Distin is the most un comitted twat ive ever seen play and claudio you rightly say is never EVER fit, all he does is get injured and take home 20k a week. its absolute jokers like him that Wardle and Co. on our board need to get hold off and tell them to f off.
Weavo has done well but isnt premiership class, Isasskson will be.

I'm always a bit doubtful when clubs appoint a manager on the basis of "his passion for the game". Pearce has passion. And Dowie. Passion is great if added to technical coaching and other skills, but doesn't work for long on its own.

Easy win for the Blues last night. Considering `Boro got good draws at Arsenal and Bolton they were made to look vastly inferior to the hard working City slickers.
JT Master Investor - 31 Oct 2006 12:02 - 89 of 106
Boro are inferior seeming as they got zero shots on target. Boro should be relegated as they are tactically inept and bore other teams to death!

the cracks could be still be seen though, DeBeasly looked good.
Micah looked like the potentially world class player that he is and i agree boro do look poor.
I feel a bit sorry for the chariman who's ended up with southgate as a manager.
Big night for Barca!

Shouldn`t it be Ms Fabragas? Miss is so last year!.
Personally I`d vote for Ms Henry as my miss of the season. ;-))
JT Master Investor - 03 Nov 2006 11:08 - 96 of 106
Rosicky has to be miss of the season because all he had to do was side foot it into the net using his left foot but managed to mess his feet up and turn it into a backpass with his right

Well im a gooner and it was embarassing to be so much on top and yet fail to score, how Wenger can say it was the best we have played since his tenure in charge, I shall never know... Should be a hatful against sorry West Ham on Sunday... might have to bring Henry into my fantasy football team.
JT Master Investor - 03 Nov 2006 12:40 - 98 of 106

Hmmh, just wondering how all our footie predictions are fairing at this midway stage of The Prem. Season?
If you swap my 1st. and 3rd. forecasts around then my top 4 Prem. positions are correct. The Rams are currently top of the Coca Cola Championship and heading straight for The Promised Land (although will prob slip back to 2nd. pos. (my initial forecast) short term, once Birmingham play their 2 games in hand).
Chelsea are struggling (relatively speaking, of course) in 2nd. pos. but must admit to being surprised at Aston Villa's mediocre display? Guess Martin O'Neil inherited a bunch of average players to work with. But Bolton are right up there in the mix of things, as i always thought they would be under Big Sam (England's next mgr?)!

Sam makes the most out of bad players, don't think he could handle the england job, especially as transfers arent involved.
Micah richards the new england captain in 5 years pledges his future to Man City as Does Joey Barton - A few good signings and we'll be back up the table - So tight around those Uefa places - Its anybody's from 6th to 13th.
