Premiership 2008-09 Season Preview

The beginning of a new Premiership season always brings a sense of excitement with the team hoping for a successful campaign. Unfortunately, however, is as exciting as the Premiership, I do not see that is dramatically different from past seasons.

The big four will remain the Big 4 and Chelsea, Arsenal, Liverpool and Manchester United will certainly take the top positions and probably all cutlery. I also think it is the consistency of the positions in clubs remainMan Utd and Chelsea battling for the title, Arsenal and Liverpool failed struggle to remain consistent enough.

I wonder if one team can do in and around the first four a serious challenge to break in. Candidates may Aston Villa, Everton and Tottenham are, but I do not know if any of these sites have what you need. Its almost certain that two of these three sides is the fifth and sixth, but the lack of depth will limit furtherSuccess.

At the end I only fate for the three promoted teams. As I like to see Stoke City and Hull a go of it, I'm not sure they have the ability to compete, or deep their team every week. West Brom probably have the best chance of survival, but they need a first class addition to their team to be competitive.

The question is who else in the relegation dog fight and my instinct tells me that would have dragged FulhamBolton and Middlesbrough could be possible. The surprising thing is That these sites well enough to play at the highest level but competition in the Premier League is so strong that almost certainly the closest to the earth as the finish top.

My advice for Portsmouth's success this season. I can certainly see how out of Cup success last season and make an impression in the Premiership. I think a top six finish is definitely on the cards, and who knows how farCrouch and Defoe could go when you really start to fire again. From an English point of view, it would be nice to see these two strikers formed a partnership.

the results of this competition, the year of Premiership football shirts worn Whatever will definitely proud of how the league continues to dominate the world stage.

Liverpool Season Preview 2008

Is this going to be the season that Liverpool finally overcome their problems, remain consistent and at last get their hands on the Premiership trophy that has eluded them for such a long time? In short, no. Well, at least in my opinion.

I'll start with the positives. They have some world class players in every department of their team. Reina is a solid goalkeeper and hasn't let them down too many times when it has really mattered. Carragher is one of the best centre halves in the world and reads the game better than anyone. Nobody has to say anything about Steven Gerrard or Fernando Torres as their quality speaks for itself. When these players are all on the pitch at the same time then Liverpool can beat anyone.

The reason Liverpool will once again slip away from the title race comes down to two reasons. Firstly, their support cast. Yes, they have a number of truly world class performers but out of the Big 4 clubs they always have the weakest support players. The likes of Pennant, Lucas, Voronin etc all have their days when they can perform but aren't suited to challenge for a title. Secondly, Benitez won't pick his best squad for a sustained run of Premiership games, meaning they're likely to get picked off every now and again by the weaker sides. This is where Arsenal, Chelsea and Man Utd always get their extra points. I really can't see Benitez changing his ways and for that reason more than anything, I don't think they'll reach the heights the club deserve to.

If they are going to compete then they need at least three high calibre players to support the stars already at the club. Gareth Barry would be a good start in midfield, but they also need a forward to help Torres out and (in my opinion) another midfielder who can provide chances from wide areas.

As far as my prediction for Liverpool goes, I think it will be a case of the same again. They'll do well in Europe and win some big matches in the Premiership but I can't see them getting over that final hurdle and lifting the crown. I'll go for a third place finish and yet another season where Liverpool football shirts don't get that gold championship badge printed on them.
