I think it'll be Spurs and City taking the 5th and 6th spot limelight away from Everton and Villa this season. I still think Chelsea look the strongest of the top 4, they seem the most cohesive.

Burnely done better than i predicted...
my granda was doing a coupon and i told him not to pick Man Utd as i thought it would have been a draw

it's going to be an interesting season in the Premiership....

Man Utd... we need to see how they will be without Ronaldo & Tevez
Chelsea kept their best and improved competition in some places along with a new manager
Liverpool are just hopimg they can keep Gerrard & Torres fit for 40+ games this season and need to cut out the draws
Arsenal unpredictable
Man City have bought players who know how to win in the Premiership
Spurs already have more points the now than they did after 10 games i think was last season

Hanson said something along them lines about James on motd last night. Whether or not it was the right decision doesn't matter, fact is he was there and it was not a penalty

Spurs will def. be the surprise package, but I suppose it shouldnt be too much of a surprise considering they do have a really good squad. In terms of depth in teams Chelsea still look the strongest then Liverpool then Man Utd then Arsenal but Arsenal just need to keep thier first team fit and they will be fine... Still saying Man Utd to win the league, Arsenal to come 2nd, Chelsea 3rd, Liverpool 4th, Spurs 5th then I couldny rly care about the rest.......... Wether it was a penalty or not David James had no need to chase that ball in the first place, if Forsell didn't go down he would have just got the ball crossed it in and someone would have finished into an open net, no need in what James done.

i would agree its not a penalty...

Larsson obstructed him (i think it was him, not Forsell)
but if youre away from home, stoppage time, and the goalie goes on a fuckin kamakaze mission most of the time the ref is bound to end up favouring the home team.

[Kosgrove]

Lol I just said Forsell because someone else said his name... I look forward to Zagreb pumping Hearts tonight.

Spurs have on paper had a good team for years, seems this year they might actually reach expectation. They have good depth in their squad, i'd say there squad is better than Lpool or Arsenals, though the first team isn't.

[Kosgrove]

Aye^ I thought last year would be the season Tottenham came 5th, with all those class players they signed but it seemed to be down to bad management because Harry came in and changed everything...

[Dütch]

And they're now going to reap the benefits of those changes.

[Kosgrove]

Good for them I suppose but Arsenal will still hammer them thsi season.

[meehai]

i think tottenham should do very well also...

Palacios looks like a good addition, and Modric is gonna grow into a class act... that pass he made for keane to miss a sitter against liverpool with the outside of his right foot was sexy as fuck

Bassong is a good signing for them also, if only woodgate and king werent vegetables they'd be top 5 for sure

James does love his kamikaze missions, hes always loved a good rush of blood to the head, maybe he should go back to staying up- all night playing tomb raider
