United appaz out the Cole race. I reckon Spurs.. they're gonna be good next year.

Petrov is quality when fit, woulda liked him down the Villa.

Really? Where'd you hear that? Last I heard was Redknapp claiming he feels United have done the deal with Cole already. Haven't even seen any rumours in it since.

Still sweating on the move. I really want us to get him and I'll be baffled as to why if we don't.

If Pourstmouth do fold, do they simply forfeit all their remaining games, or all of their games over the entire season declared null and void?

Despite being only a casual baseball fan, I've had some fun with this game since downloading it. I'd recommend it.

Early reviews have been overwhelmingly positive, which throws a spanner into my plans of skipping FIFA this year, so as to buy other games (Batman, Need for Speed: Shift, FM) on my limited budget. I might still pass on this, as I played FIFA 09 for an ungodly amount of time.

1. Liverpool

2. Manchester United

3. Chelsea

4. Arsenal

5. Everton

6. Manchester City

7. Tottenham

8. Aston Villa

9. West Ham

10. Sunderland

11. Fulham

12. Wigan

13. Blackburn

14. Bolton

15. Wolves

16. Stoke

17. Birmingham

18. Portsmouth

19. Burnley

20. Hull

The top 3 will be in a really close battle, with any order realistically possible at the end of the season. If Gerrard and Torres stay fit and in-form, Liverpool should be the ones lifting the title. Arsenal will stay in their No Man's Land of fourth place, with Everton winning best of the rest. Man City will have a topsy-turvy season, but get the Top Six spot.

At the other end of the table, Hull will carry on where they left off last season, and go down with a whimper. Burnley have the farirytale story and all, and I'd love it if they stayed up, but they just don't have the talent for the Premier League. Portsmouth have lost all their good players, and will go down.

The Championship and Premiership are both full (as far as I can see from a quick scan), with the two lower leagues decently represented.

Despite having 21 players in my squad being better than their best, playing at home, and completely outplaying them, I could only manage a 1-1 draw with unmanaged Walsall. God I suck.

ETA: Double post.

I took over Crystal Palace in Division 3. Yargh.
