Personally think (probably blinkered) that Chelsea will win the league saw enough against Stoke in the second half to suggest we wont lose as many games this time round, Man City could well overtake Utd for second as Utds new keeper will cost them i think……….doesnt look that solid to me. Of the promoted teams i can see Norwich surviving. Blackburn look nailed on to get relegated IMHO too.
Did you clear up last season then?.
Well I did say – right from the very start – that Chelsea wouldn’t win the league last year and that I would be laying them all day long whilst they were odds on.
In theory then I should have had a good season, but it wasn’t the greatest in all honesty. Any winnings from Chelsea kept getting lost elsewhere.
Haven’t any strong feelings – as of yet – for this year’s Premier League. I personally think Manchester United are stronger this season but it will be interesting to see if the Blues get Modric and one other before the window shuts. So for now, the Premier League Winner market is a no bet one for me. Have to agree that Blackburn look poor though.
My best bet, and my best bet for a long long time, is West Ham to win the Championship. I think they have an outstanding squad for this level and I really can’t see them not winning that division. I’ve backed them at 5.8 and I won’t be laying them for a long time yet.
They have players in and around the England set-up within their squad, Fredric Piquionne and Carlton Cole in attack, and they go out and sign another Premier League class striker in John Carew.
Their signings this season – Kevin Nolan, Matt Taylor, Abdoulaye Faye etc – are all Premier League class, they’ve still got the Football Writers Player of the Year Scott Parker at the club, they’ve got quality with the likes of Rob Green, Mark Noble, Jack Collison, Junior Stanislas etc.
In my opinion they’ve got one of the strongest squads the Championship has ever seen, and to top it all they have an excellent, vastly experienced manager at the helm.
The key to winning this division is retaining your best players when you get relegated, just like Newcastle did a few seasons ago. They might lose Parker this month, but even so their squad will break the 100 points barrier in the table. Nailed on, and as I say, my best bet for a long long time.
All the best mate.
Blackburn will struggle this season, and will stay bottom half of the division
from the championshipI agree with you on that one! Man United looked very impressive again last night! They are playing some of their best football in a few years and are exciting to watch again! looks like fergie might have formed yet another generation of champions! City will be the closest to them, and Blackburn are my favorites to go down if they dont get rid of Kean!
from the championship
