Noticed their isnt a thread (off topic) about the EPL, or rather any other leagues in general. If there is anyone out there that follows the EPL, or La Liga or Serie Etc. Share about the upcoming season.
My thoughs on EPL 2012 - 2013

1. Manchester City
2. Chelsea
3. Manchester Utd
4. Totenham Hotspur.

That is the group of death - I believe one of the reasons City will miss out on the Premiership is they will want to try win the CL.

What about Swansea's start?
I thought they might struggle this time losing Rogers and a few players - looks like Sinclair's going to Man City as well - but Laudrup's made an amazing start, I read a stat that all the teams that have scored 8 in their first two games before have finished in the top four...

Yeah maybe. They should of had Man City at home apart from that awful defensive error. If we can take 3 points of Arsenal on Sunday I'll feel a lot better after a very underwhelming start to the season.

Did anyone see Torres dive this morning against Newcastle? that was so blatantly pitiful.

28.09.2012		Great game at dinner time tomorrow. Arsenal v Chelsea.
I'm surprised so far with how arsenal have done. Cazorla looks a great buy.

28.08.2012		Good games so far I believe. Eden Hazard has had an amazing start with chelsea, if he keeps this up he can win player of the year in England.

My top 3 for the EPL

1. Manchester United
2. Chelsea
3. Manchester City
Alfred Takala
28.08.2012		TBH... Laudrap hasn't really had much success anywhere else on the continent. His start to the season is pretty solid. But we'll see come decemeber where the Swans are sitting.
As for the promoted teams...every year the big boys dont know what to expect and the promoted teams claim a few scaples early on in the season. see reading 2008-2009 i believe. or norwich last year etc.
Janyce Henningson
28.08.2012		I only go a few times a year now mate tbh, used to go a lot and my oldest lad has a season ticket.

A lot have tipped Leeds to go up but I'm not sure yet, fingers crossed though
Loura Ulam
29.08.2012		Do you go to watch Leeds Nicky? Im from Middlesbrough but i can't see us getting up this year, i don't know about Leeds though.
I can see Stoke, West Ham and QPR going down and Chelsea winning the title.

Very true i really hope he gives some of the better barca b players more of a chance like Munisea, Roberto, Tello, Deulofeu and Llie S

Yeah, this! It'd be nice to see us contending in the top 4 with intent again. Feels like a long time ago

UCL Winners: FC Barcelona
La Liga: FC Barcelona

23.08.2012		EPL is by far my favorite league to watch...along the champions league matches...top knotch futbol...none of that professional diving that goes on in the italian, spanish, south american, latin american games...friggin sniper fire...

i really just love to watch...

concacaf has a champions league...but it's not the same...
Alfred Takala
23.08.2012		yeah for serie A Juve... Milan are floundering after getting rid of Ibra and Silva and now Cassano to Inter. Speaking of Inter i believe they can challenge and so can Roma, Lazio, Napoli and Udinese too. Should be really tight 1st to 5th.
Sandie Manzanera
22.08.2012		My EPL predictions:
1. Manchester United (if they can get their defense sorted, Rooney-Kagawa-RvP will be virtually unstoppable if they gel and stay fit)
2. Manchester City (their strength in depth will be key but are currently overly reliant on Silva, Kompany & Yaya, if any of them get injured it could derail their season)
3. Chelsea (Hazard and Oscar look good but their lack of consistent finishers up front will hurt them)
4. Tottenham Hotspur (Loss of Modric will be felt in the middle of the park but I still expect them to place highly)
5. Arsenal (Loss of RvP will be huge...Giroud is good but nowhere near RvP. Cazorla to be their key man)

Surprise Package: Everton. (Wouldn't rule out them getting 4th or 5th come the end of the season. They look good in almost every position (central mid is so-so) especially up front)

EPL Golden Boot: Could be any of Rooney, Aguero or RvP.

UCL Winners: Barcelona/Real Madrid (haven't decided)
La Liga: FC Barcelona
Serie A: Juventus
Bundesliga: Bayern Munich
Ligue 1: PSG
