Oh there it comes. Another Premiership season ahead. A season that comes with an aura of excitement after some hectic transfer market action, which brought massive changes to team lineups and perspectives.
I could write and write on the topic, but I found out that as much as I would like to delve endlessly into every single team's perpectives, I'd rather keep it simple and then just justify my predictions.
First thing I'd like is to split the teams into some distinguishable groups.
Title challengers
Man United
Chelsea
Liverpool
Uefa Cup sure, CL possible: good squads + great managers = nice football, but no title challenge
Tottenham
Arsenal
Uefa Cup contenders: good end of last season, cohesive squad under competent coach, may have good runs in FA/Carling Cup too
Everton
West Ham
Aston Villa
Portsmouth
Blackburn
Sunderland
Uefa Cup hopefuls: question mark coaches, question mark player gel, whatever can happen
Man City
Newcastle
Bolton
Relegation fighters: look depleted from last season
Reading
Middlesbrough
Fulham
Wigan
New boys in town: might scrape their stay, but will probably go down
Birmingham
Derby
My personal guess for the end of the championship - with some of bias of course.
1. Liverpool
2. Man United
3. Chelsea
4. Tottenham
5. Arsenal
6. Sunderland
7. Newcastle
8. Aston Villa
9. Everton
10. Blackburn
11. Man City
12. West Ham
13. Portsmouth
14. Bolton
15. Reading
16. Middlesbrough
17. Birmingham
18. Fulham
19. Derby
20. Wigan
FA Cup final: Man United x Sunderland
Carling Cup final: Arsenal x Tottenham
Uefa Champions League: Man United
Uefa Cup: Bayern Munich
