It's fucking hilarious. After celebrating their entry into the champions league so hard, they won't even get into the group stages! It's comedy gold!

Students on £3,000 a year (a loan, no less) get fined £1000.
A dirty, spitting Senegalese badboy reject on £15,000 a week is fined £100.

Benitez is apparently not a fan, and although I am a huge Owen mark, I won't disagree with him. He won the European Cup and for that, he can think or do anything he wants.

So, it indeed looks like Arsenal or Man Utd

Yeah I wouldn't mind Owen. We'll have him for about £4 million and he could warm our bench.

He'd be a classic addition to Arsenal. Bergkamp has started playing behind the strikers (and he seems to does it really quite well) and that spanish kid reyes will be off before the end of the season.

Reyes just signed a new long term contract, and Bergkamp has always played as an advanced midfielder rather than a striker.

So what bets are people putting on this year?

Im only having 4 which are :

Kezman to win the golden boot award

Lampard to score more goals than Gerrard

Celtic to finish 3rd or 4th

Middlesbrough to finish in the top 6.

Should get good odds for it too as Gerrard already has 6.

Kezman ala Forlan, (good record outside of England), has a point to prove.

Hearts and Hibs are the teams to watch out for in Scotland this year, I htink Rangers will win it but these 2 will fight it out for second place.

Boro, if they stay clear of injuries have a decent chance of finish in the top six, however there are about 7 other teams which are the same so ive gone for the tam I support.

Spurs will either finish in top six or win one of the cups this year IMO.

I don't think Champions League preliminary round games count towards goal totals.

Rangers are shit.

Celtic will still fairly comfortably come top or second, once Strachan sorts out the defence.

Kezman might score a few in Spain, but that doesn't mean he'll win the Golden Boot (I take it you mean the top scorer in Europe).

Boro will do nothing this season, as usual.

I think they are going to have a few dodgy results this season.

lol thought you might say that. I normally bet game-to-game, far easier to make a few bob that way.

With regards to the 4 you put up there:

1) Kezman's record at PSV was phenomenal, but it remains to be seen whether he can regain his confidence/form after last season. On top of that, Atletico are not that great of a team. Forlan did great last year but Villareal as a team really overachieved, I don't think Atletico will.

2) Is probable but no guarantee, if Chelsea keep everyone fit they might end up playing 4-4-2 more than they did last year, which will restrict Lampard's forward runs a bit. Added to that, if Alonso can stay fit and depending on how Benitez uses his main formation, Gerrard could spend a lot of time behind the striker(s). Mind you, Benitez has already said he'll be resting Gerrard, so barring a Lampard injury this one'll probably go. You mentioned the goals Gerrard has already, I dunno how/who you're doing the bet with but they might only count Prem goals, or I'd expect so.

3) If Hearts and/or Motherwell can keep their squads healthy and make a decent fist of it I'd be surprised but not shocked. However I've got to think Celtic still have too much for the rest to not finish in the top 2.

4) Eh, possible but I don't see it. While you keep adding more firepower the defence is getting older and older, and relying on Southgate and Ehiogu at their ages IMO is not a good idea.

I agree Spurs seem to have everything in place to make a decent fist of the league but we'll see how Jol handles a full season. They are unbelievably inconsistent recently. IMO Everton will be top 10, Bolton will probably hang around the top 8, Boro and Spurs will fight it out for the final UEFA Cup spot. Citeh and Villa will do well to finish at the higher end of midtable. Newcastle won't do anything while that defence is in place though they can't do worse than last year.

I'd be surprised if any of the promoted teams stay up too, although I think Fulham are going to really struggle as well as West Brom, and Pompey might as well depending on how the squad comes together (RBF ) I'll give Sunderland the benefit of the doubt since Mackem will knock my bins over if I don't.

Far as winning it I can't look past Chelsea right now. The sheer strength in depth is overwhelming. We'll see how Arsenal cope without Vieira, he's been on the decline but he could still make a difference in this league. Man Utd could storm the league or slump about like they did last year, though Van Der Sar should in theory be a huge bonus. Liverpool should also push a lot harder this year

I'm gonna get crucified for this when the season finishes I'm sure but here's a rough guess at how the league will pan out:

1) Chelsea
2) Man Utd
3) Arsenal
4) Liverpool
5) Bolton
6) Spurs
7) Boro
8) Everton
9) Newcastle
10) Charlton
11) Citeh
12) Birmingham
13) Villa
14) Pompey
15) Blackburn
16) Fulham
17) Sunderland
18) West Brom
19) West Ham
20) Wigan

Damn, that's a huge post

I agree with most of that, though i reckon sunderland will get relegated and west ham will stay up.And hopefully my newcastle team can get 6th place atleast but based on the performance against Deportivo, that 9th place your giving us we should be greatful for!

Correct!

Briane Deane signed for Perth Glory FC. Opinions, Downunder?

It'd be pretty funny if he scores the first ever goal in the new football A-League here (or as I like to call it, the gAy-League, as my club was shafted and not given the chance to join).

If Deane scores the first A-League goal it would go along nicely with his 'achievement' of scoring the first ever goal in the English Premier League.

Arsene Wenger has ruled out signing Michael Owen.

And the Lyon chairman is saying Manchester United and Arsenal are both interested in Essien. Probably bollocks to put the shits up Chelsea and drive up the fee, though.
