I hate to say it, but I think it will be Man Utd again even though I would like to see somebody else for a change...

El Tel backed Chelski last night on sky sports news - I have to admit that they will be in there with a shot at it this season - Money can but you success - Man U and Arsenal both had fortunes to spend and they have delivered. That said it is unlikely Chelsea will get it right the first time round - hopeless away support for a start. I am with you for Alec to clinch another.

I think it's time for Liverpool to finally deliver - they underperformed badly last season. I'm not bothered who wins - but I confidently predict Bolton will annoy the southern media by staying up again :)

Top 6 Man Utd
Arsenal
Chelsea
Newcastle
Liverpool
Southampton I think Southampton have got a good little side together now - the rest is a bit predictable. Anyone for First Division? - I know already started but Hey a lot of the true fans are lower down the leagues. West Ham. (Promoted)
West Brom. (Promoted)
Sheffield Utd.
Nottingham Forest.
Norwich. (Play off winners - I can Dream)
Reading.

My one concern about Chelski is that while they have a dream team, you can't buy team spirit and nobody has any idea about how the team will gel. I will be following West Ham all season and from their early performances I don't think they will have too much trouble bouncing back. I would like to see Ipswich back also.

Man Utd for the Premiership and possibly the FA Cup.... but I don't think that they have the squad (yet) to do the Champions League - but I'd love to be proved wrong! As long as Liverpool aren't in the Top 5 (where they definitely don't belong!), I'll be a happy fisk. me/ Ducks and runs away....

Hi Dayo_Uk Why Ipswich... I think they are a good club and I would like to see them back in the Premiership. They were unluckey last season just missing out on the playoffs. menton

Johnson CHE £2.5m Pires ARS £5m
Emerton BLA £3m
J.Cole CHE £3m Van Nistelrooy MAN U £7m

Hi Limbo, What fantasy football are you using? I would have Harry Kewell in my team. He will have a lot of assists and a fair helping of goals from the wing. Sticky me if you don't want to post it menton

I play The Suns rules but a mate at work does his own comp which we all enter. Looked at Kewell - but unfortunately he plays for the other half of Merseyside - I am not usually biased but in this case... £4.5m seems a little over priced ;) Looked at crow-barring Rooney in there but really can't find the extra £500,000. <Added> correct sums for the team in the post above Van Nistelrooy MAN U £7.5m
Owen LIV £6.5m
Di Canio CHA £3.5m totals £40m

Skylo Henry is in my revised version I ditched Lundekvam - and took a risk on De Zeuuw at Pompy. Owens out on his little red a**e and Hónreee makes the front three a little more intimidating. Looks as though I am close to submission : Howard - MAN U £2.5m
De Zeeuw - POR £1.5m
Alpay - AST £2m
Cunningham - BIR £2m
Johnson - CHE £2.5m
J.Cole - CHE £3m
Emerton - BLA £3m
Pires - ARS £5m
Van Nistelrooy - MAN U £7.5m
Henry ARS - £7.5 m
Di Canio CHA - £3.5m

Okay, how about an american twist? Football over here is not soccer, so I'll take Emmitt Smith (formerly a Dallas Cowboy, now a Phoenix Cardinal) to win the Premiership! ah ha!

Blobfisk Thats a good looking side - Nice to see you picked Unsworth - always worth having a couple penalty takers in there. I am having a go at the beeb too - nice free comp with some excellent prizes - check out third place - Table footbal deluxe stylee Team: K Keller TOT 3.0m

He's not bloody coming back! I hope Still your right - if he does he'll partner either Rooney and Raderz and could net a few and at 2.5m in the Sun might be a nice transfer in October - Di canio out, Jeffers added to the line up and then unsworth in for De Zeeuw. Nice. Lets hope the run at highbury doesn't continue tomorrow.
