Will @mikec make an appearance before the start of the season?

Let's hope so. We need his positivity.

1. Spurs
   
2. Chelsea
   ...
   
3. Arsenal
   

No idea how the plastic scousers can have any hope for this season, I'm looking at Chelsea wondering if they can get Costa back on form, if not Man City or Arsenal will be too good to beat. We need Costa's goals.

Agreed costa is massive loss if not fit, but at this point of the season feeling positive that Remy can step up, he got some important goals last year. As for Falcao its wait and see time if he can get sharp and deliver some goals.

I think we are in a better position than last year. I wouldn't have any expectations of the title, but it looks like a step in the right direction.

But what about Slippy?

There is a charity Chelsea Season Preview to which I have contributed. Sadly they don't use pseudonyms.

All for a good cause.

Nicely written Mr. O.

Interesting piece on goalkeepers http://www.espnfc.com/blog/espn-fc-united-blog/68/post/2547840/david-de-gea-must-decide-and-the-barcelona-goalkeeper-battle

You'd think with the way LVG has treated Valdes it could have real negative implications on their season and potentially on their balance sheet.

Looking at the situation that Luis Enrique had on his hands I'd much rather be in Mourinho's position. We've had to sell a great keeper to keep another great one happy without impacting team morale too much. I'd say it's down to excellent long term planning.

Pundits pointing to Arsenal season.

Liverpool don't get a look in.

win win for us. None saw us coming in 2013. There's little expectation yet if BR fails as badly as the last season ended by xmas a certain mr klopp will be getting call.

Fantasy football anyone?

Who won last year?

I'm not sure...

Pedro to Manchester United. Good signing.

Depay - Rooney - Pedro
--------Mata-------

That's a decent front 4

Schneiderlin and Schweini behind them isn't half bad either.

Still missing a decent defence though...

Blind, Rojo, ANother with Darmian should suffice in theory.

They only need to score one more goal than the opposition to win the game.
