@ Mihir: basically its going to be a close fight between three teams for second place

@ Vignesh: Maybe so. but I still believe that they will best both Arsenal and ManUtd for that automatic UCL qualification spot.

Dude, I think you are overestimating the powers of Liverpool. Dont think they ll be title contenders, also-rans more like it. Sure, they ll get another zillion clean sheets but their problem is winning. They dont put away the lesser teams.

Arsenal have to acclimatise to the new stadium, the sooner the better.I m praying that happens soon. I remem Southhamptom having problems when they moved from the Dell.

Chelsea to win it hands down, Man Utd and Arsenal to fight it out for 2nd me thinks.

Tottenham are interesting picks, but i dont see them reaching 5th. Berbatov and Zokora are good signings, but their defence still looks a tad weak… and they have UEFA Cup as a distraction as well. Bolton, Blackburn, Everton and Newcastle (if they manage to get a decent striker) would be my bets. And Arsenal can get ahead of ManU and Liverpool, ManU have a totally bare midfield, and i still dont see who will score goals for Liverpool. Arsenal just need a central defender with experience, they have arguably the best youth team currently in entire europe. Also with Emirates, i expect them to be able to match Pool & ManU in spending from next season although its not Wenger’s style. As Far as goal are concerned, yes they are dependent on Henry (who has been top scorer is 4 out of last 5 seasons), but their midfield with van Persin, Reyes & Rosicky contributes a hell lot of goals as well.

The English Premier League 2006/07

Put away those national flags for now and bring out your jerseys and scarves. For those still hungover from World Cup disappointments, worry not, football redemption is round the corner. Depending on the club you support ofcourse.

@ Kesvan-

it will be AMAZING to see West Ham finish in the top 5. But wont happen. They will finish in the 11-15th range. Maybe Blackburn but they havent been doing too much in the transfer market.

@ Handful!

The Prof was planning on writing something on that later today! Looks like you beat him to it !

When Paes defeated Sampras, I actually felt that he would go on to hit the top 20 in singles. That was such a great match. Pity he shifted his entire focus on the doubles game. he is a great player to watch especially in Davis Cups!

Look what Murray’s done, “Ousted Federer” :p . I still say, notwithstanding the British media’s hype, this lad has something to say.

PS: I am actually reminded of Paes’ victory over Sampras at the Pilot Pen Open in 98.

PPS: Sorry for commenting on a subject different from that of the post.

Mostly agree, but there might be (and I hope it happens) a surprise team in the top 5, Newcastle or Blackburn or West Ham maybe.

Hopefully the gap in points between the top and the bottom will also reduce.
