Hull City have answered my prayers! That was exactly what I was looking for.

Cheers,

I feel this could be the best season of the EPL since it was put together. Every single team in the top 10 looks incredibly strong and it looks as though a few teams could break into the Big 4. There are also many teams capable of going into the UEFA Cup too.
It also looks as though we may have a pretty good relegation battle as well and there could be a few surprises near the end
I’ve never been more excited for a new season (except for a few of the kits…which I feel look dreadful in some cases) and I hope Villa finish as good or even better than last season

I agree- Villa are the team to watch. I’ve been talking Tottenham up for a few weeks, but I don’t think that they will be the same team without Berba AND Keane.

Villa have made some great pick-ups. I’m especially interested to see what Sidwell is capable of – is he still the same guy we saw running the show at Reading two years ago, or does he spend this year working the splinters out of his shorts? How does he work with Barry?

Portsmouth are another squad to look out for. Defoe has been on a tear so far this preseason – is Crouch the sidekick he’s been waiting for? If so, can their aging defense still lock people down? I think that Harry Redknapp is one of the shrewdest managers in the league – it will be interesting to see if he can put it all together this year.

Villa for me is the team to watch out for. They have quietly made some good acquisitions and now have a totally revamped defense. They will have no problem scoring goals and if they get off to a good start the Barry drama may be forgotten quickly. Spurs will have the talent to break into the top four but I think with so many new players it may take awhile for them to become cohesive. Although they have looked dominating in pre-season it will be interesting to see if they can keep up their form once the games have meaning. The loss of Keane could be huge. Bale will have a breakout season.

Toss me in the Boro camp, i tiped them to go down last year and they came very good second half of the season and I feel they can push on now. They are very good against the top 4.
