New Football (Soccer) Season

Only a matter of days now until the new season starts (for those outside the Premiership anyway). Thought would share and canvas some thoughts on the season ahead...

Premiership

Some changes afoot in the top flight this year with the restrictions that have been imposed on squad size etc and a few teams that will be thinking that they can/should challenge for a top 4 spot. Will Liverpool recover or has the damage been done and can Man City/Spurs/Villa nip at the heals of the other established 'Big 3'.

Championship

This is where most of my attention will be focussed with Leeds having at last started going in the right direction. I think we'll do okay but auto-promotion and even a play off spot is probably a little bit too much to hope for. The league is probably as open as it has been for many years with Middlesbrough and Nottingham Forest tipped for promotion.

League 1

It wasn't as bad languishing down there as you might have thought and had some good matches against some surprisingly good/tenacious teams. I don't have any thoughts about who'll do what but will be following what's going on a lot more than I might have done a few years ago.


Any thoughts/predictions for the season ahead?

PS Apologies for the somewhat English bias of my comments. Afraid I don't really follow football in other countries but please feel free to express your thoughts if you do
