Six days to go
Finally, the real action, I am an Arsenal fan so no disrespect to followers of non Premier League teams, begins on Saturday and football will dominate the headlines, blogs and forums.
Gotta say I'm bored with the endless will he/won't he transfer sagas, over analysis of meaningless friendlies. the Community Shield, blank sports reports desperate for copy but lacking anything substantive.
Predictions? Last year I said it was between Manchester United and Arsenal and while I was half right I see no reason to change this time round. Liverpool seem to have prioritised brand building in south east Asia over team building and wll not last the pace. Just not enough quality in the first choice II.
Chelsea? How long have most of them gits been together now? Who was it that said a good football team has three seasons together. Chelsea's spine, Cech, Terry, Essien, Lampard and Drogba needs spicing up.
Manchester City? Don't make me laugh. Mark Hughes has been like a kid in the candy store and is already going for the old 'us against them' line as his club gets plenty of brickbats but little in the way of credit. Football is, well used to be, about players, not money and Hughsie is about to learn that lesson the hard way.
Aston Villa? Again, lack of real quality. Plenty of good players in the team but very few class players.
Nope, it's betwen Fergie and Wenger. Again.
