Well the best football league (soccer for the Americans) kicked off today at long last.

What's everyones thoughts on the season to come?

Moneybags Man City got off to a winning start as did an ageing Chelsea side. Arsenal fired 6 past Everton!!

Liverpool and Man Utd kick off their campaigns tommorow.

ManUre have lost Ronaldo and Tevez, that's a big blow and I think that will hurt them this season. Rooney will get his fair share of goals and maybe Berbs and Owen will provide a few more, but where are those other 30+ goals from Ronaldo going to come from now? Nani? Valencia? :lol:

'Pool will always be there or therabouts but they rely so heavily on Gerrard that any type of injury to him and it's curtains for them. Also I think selling Alonso was a big mistake.

Arsenal looked really good yesterday but in the last few years this young side always seem to come up short at the bussiness end of the season. I respect Wenger though, so let's see what he can come up with this time.

The dark horse this year look like being Man City, they've built up a strong squad with the millions from their rich owners, but I will reserve judgement on them after I see a bit more of their play and especially their away form, which was terrible last season.

So maybe I reckon I'll go for Chelski this year to win the Prem.
They look a settled enough side, Drogba looks like his old self again, and I expect Lamps to chip in with his usual high number of goals from midfield. Keeping Essien fit is key and Terry and Carvalho at the back are very solid, so all in all I expect this team to be right in the thick of things and to be lifting that trophy.

The EPL is definately the more exciting to watch, in my opinion anyway.
I mean the spending power of Real and Barca has meant that some of the biggest names have gone to play in Spain, that's true, but for sheer entertainment there's no other league to even compare with the Premiership.
