MANCHESTER UNITED will miss a top-four position for the first time
in decades. Putting aside my usual
detestation of all things United, I
actually believe this.
Based on current squads, I think Liverpool,
Manchester City, Chelsea and Arsenal
are stronger. And United clearly have
serious financial restraints.
What I don't understand is why Sir Alex is so
keen to support publicly the tightfisted
owners who have wrecked his
winning streak.
ARSENE WENGER will end his trophy drought. I know, I know, I'm
biased. But I have been very impressed
with the boss's close season activity.
How he thwarted Barcelona and
persuaded Fabregas to stay is
beyond me, but to his credit, he has
done it. And this will be a hugely significant
non-transfer for Arsenal.
He's also chucked out some dead wood at the
back - Gallas, Campbell, Silvestre -
and signed a superb defender in Laurent
Koscielny to partner Vermaelen.
Up front, I like the look of Marouane Chamakh, who is tall,
strong, fast, skilful, good in the air, a
lethal finisher, and looks like
Ronaldo's slightly prettier younger
brother.
All we need now is a good goalkeeper, and another central
defender as back-up, and I'm feeling
excited again for the first time in a
few years at the Emirates.
LIVERPOOL will have a very good
season under Roy Hodgson.
Judging by what he did with Fulham's fairly
average squad, imagine what he's
going to do with the likes of Gerrard
and Torres.
TOTTENHAM will have another very good season, but will tragically
fall out of the top four on the very last
day of the season after Jermain
Defoe misses a penalty in the 93rd
minute.
I will try to restrain my acute distress at this bitter disappointment for my north London friends.

I doubt United would drop from top 4 but it's gonna be interesting season just like the last one.
