1. chelsea
(they r looking very storng pre-season and have the grit to grind out 1-0 or 2-1 victories. carlo ancelotti looks like he has polished off a very good team, and hes managed it without bringing any real big signing into the mix, bringing in zhirkov has only strengthend the team but the biggest change has been in the newly re-vitalized chemistry between the exiting players )
2. arsenal
(they may be a young team but they r begining to gain experience and the departure of toure and ade’s wont efect them much coz eduardo is looking sharp, the new defender is highly regarded and wilshere is looking very promising for them this year)
3. man u
(i dont think they will win a 4th prem in a row and loosing ronaldo will reriously effect the goal tally, but its undeniable that they will push for it again with the team and managment that they have)
4. liverpool
(i love liverpool, i think torres and gerrard are the 2 best players in the prem now that rons gone, but i don’t think they can keep up with the other three, they did well last season by finishing above chelsea and arsenal but they have both improved a lot in the last few months and i dont see an improvment in the liverpool team so far)
5. tottenham
(they have made some very cleaver signings over the summer, i dont rate chouch that highly but paired with defoe, they r sure to give deffences a chalange and there deffence is looking stronger than ever if king can sort out his injury problems)
6. everton
(everton is a strong team, they dont have many big names but work well together and i think thats all down to david moyes, hes a great manager and i think he will keep everton in one of the uafa cup spots)
7. man city
(i am doutfull that the mega money spending will pull off this season, in years to come they will gel and become more of a threat just as chelsea did well they became wealthy, but they realy have no choice but to get into a eurapian spot dew to the pressure that surrounds them)
8. aston villa
(i like villa and the manager, and i dont like the thought that they may not get into a eurapian spot but the signing of downing is not enough to compensate the depature of barry and other teams around them have got stronger, they missed there chance to get into the top 4 last year, and im sure they are not going to get another chance for a few years to come)
9. west ham
(zola,s had his first bite of being a prem manager and he did well last year, hes got a good group of players and they will do well again this year)
10.sunderland
( sunderland have a bit of money now and with campbell and jones upfont, they could pull off a few supprises)
11. blackburn
(i think blackburn is an allround good team, there are no real stand out names now that santa cruz has gone but each player has good qualaties)
12. stoke
( i think they will be a real supprise package this season, with beattie, fuller and delaps throw ins, they wont be short on goals)
13. bolton
(i dont think they will suffer like they did last season, but they wont get into the top half of the table)
14. fulham
(fulham did amazingly well last year under hodgson, but i think its only because of the deffence, they had the 4th best deffencive record last year behind the top 3 teams, but if hangeland gose to arsenal and hughes gets injurd at any point through the season, then they realy have no one to back them up, i think a fulham drop will be the suprise of the season)
15. wolves
( wolves will do well this year, i think they will score quite a few goals with ebanks-blake and doyle upfront, but will struggle at the back)
16. wigan
(i think they will fall a little but i wouldn’t be to worried about relegating this year coz i can realy see my next 4 teams being the teams fighting for safety)
17. portmouth
(pompy r realy going to struggle this year but i hope (more than i think) that they will stay up, if they do, it will prob be because of david james, hes a great keeper and with him in ur side, uv always got a chance)
18. birmingham
(i dont think they are a good enough team to stay in the prem)
19. burnly
( i would love to see them do well this year but i thin they will struggle like derby did a few years ago when they only got 11 points all season, i dont think they will do quite so badly but not by much)
20. hull
( i dont realy like the manager phil brown or hull on the hole, when things were geting tuff about halfway through the season they started to act like children that couldn’t get there own way, and i dont think they were good enough to stay in the prem last year but they managed it because of the points there gaind early in the season, and i dont think they r good enough to stay in the prem this year)

the top 4 was very hard to choose but i realy think chelsea will win it, man u will deffinatly be in the top 3, i think arsenal will pick up consistancy because i can see a real comparison to the invincables from 2004, and i think liverppol wont be realy tested but 5th and 6th but wont do as well as the other three big teams.

arsenal will win the F.A. cup this year beacuse they need to win somthing

i think ether arsenal or man u will win the carling cup (arsenal because there kids will want to show off and man u because i cant see them wining nothing this year)

and real madrid or inter milan will win the chamions league.
