Here is the second part of our Premier League Preview (leaving you all of 24 hours to read it) along with our predicted final table… Part one is below. Read it now before the season starts and all our forecasts are immediately proved wrong.
With only days to go until the start of the Premier League, we take a whirlwind look through the division (no-one likes long, lengthy previews) – count yourself lucky if your side gets more than a couple of lines… We also have our final table prediction, which will no doubt come back to haunt us. Read on for Part One…
Man United eventually succumbed to Chelsea after a penalty shootout – but not before both teams showed they cared about the trophy. Nani was surprisingly effective for United, and they will be cursing his dislocated shoulder. He can be added to Vidic, Neville, Rafael, Brown, Van Der Sar, and Foster on the treatment table. Almost [...]
Man City are continuing their relentless pursuit of John Terry, with crazy figures like £300k being mooted in the press, in addition to a possible £30m transfer fee.
Is he worth it? Purely as a player, arguably not. He is 28, increasingly injury prone, and there are whisperings of increasing vulnerability. But by signing Terry, Man City get so much more than just a footballer.

Recently we have asked; Can Anyone Stop United? Can United Really Win the Quintruple? And then, in the wake of Liverpool’s 4-1 destruction of United at Old Trafford: Is the Title Race back on? We can safely say, on the back of United’s defeat to Fulham where for the first time in recent memory they self destructed (with Scholes and Rooney both dismissed), that the answer to all of those questions is ‘yes’…

The table, and the bookies, still say no – United are 1/10, and remain 4 points clear of Liverpool and Chelsea with a game in hand. Certainly, they are strong favourites; but a win against the red half of Merseyside would have really put it to bed, whereas now both Chelsea and Liverpool will feel they’re in with a sniff. Let’s have a look at what United would need to do to let one of them in…
Not footballing, but actual intelligence – apparently he has a higher IQ than Carol Vorderman! See here for the full Telegraph article.
By now you will know that ‘Big Phil’ Scolari has been relieved of his position at Chelsea, with Guus Hiddink the immediate favourite to replace him. But what do people think about this not-so-shocking development? We’ve trawled through various forums and messageboards to bring you the most interesting reaction…
Chelsea fan Andrew Walker recalls two great Champions League moments… Chelsea and Barcelona have carved out one of the most fascinating rivalries of the modern Champions League era. Their meetings in recent years have produced huge drama, and some goals of supreme quality. Two stand out as true moments of genius. Ronaldinho’s strike at Stamford [...]
