Ok, it's the time of the year again. Let's make bold predictions, only to return to this topic when the season is over and see how far we were off :) I start:

Chelsea will win the league. We are tho only side to preserve our squad. Man U has lost too much fire power, Liverpool weakened a lot in the midfield with departure of Alonso and Arsenal are still the "team of the future".

I expect Hull to go down. Portsmouth now have a very thin squad and they might go don as well.

Arsenal have chopped some serious deadwood and they have players returning from injuries. I wouldn't write them off so easiliy.

I guess this this season will be the closest of recent times. Liverpool may come atop but I wouldn't bet any money on it.

Can't agree more about Hull going down.

Argentina will defeat Brazil at home & will string together some positive results to claim a spot in South Africa... & win it!

Arsenal have players returning from injury? Ha ha ha, very funny. After Nasri, Rosciky is out for a couple of months with a hamstring injury.

Had we not sold Alonso, I would say Liverpool will be the champions. Will see that Aquilani guy...
