So, here we go again! :bounce:

The season is upon us with the majority of leagues kicking off this Saturday and the Premiership and Conference beginning a week after.

Who's your team and how will they fare? Will it be :D or :furious:

Who will be the BIG movers? Will it be Man United or Newcastle who'll capture Michael Owen? I'd have him at Man Utd with Rooney, for sure.

What are your tips for winning what. Will Chelsea win everything in sight :silly: or will they end cup-less and a victim of too many crooks spoil the broth? :scratchchin:

LETS 'AV IT !!! :wobble:

[small][b]Football, oh yes! Just to think too, a full year and a half of more or less solid football to come, with the world cup just round the corner![/small][/b]

Nothing wrong with the old one.

As the title on this one says, its specifically for the upcoming season.

If you're not interested in football, don't look in here. If you are, care to add something football related?

Eighteen months of solid football, christ that's frightening ... and so bloody boring!

The world cup will be the usual pre-tournament hype with England as usual not progressing beyond the last 16 or so ...

It's the cricket season mate, at least until Saturday ...

Edit: and you're gonna win nowt again which'll make my year/18 months...

The MU rule is over.

Leeds Leeds leeds Leeds Leeds!

With our new Sugar Daddy and having finally cleared all of our debt, I reckon that we've now got a team to challenge for Promotion. At least we started this pre-season with more than 2 players!

Bring on Millwall on Sunday!!!!

Anyway, never mind all this pointless pres-season posturing and discussion, I hear we lost a wicket ...

I hope the cricket keeps the footy off the back pages at least for one weekend.

For those of you who really, really don't have anything to do, you can go here and put in your own score predictions for the rest of the season...

I'm a Wolves fan and yet again we are tipped for promotion. I reckon we'll do the play offs this year.

Oh and Portsmouth are most welcome to Henri Camara too.

No but I stood on the terracing on its very last day at the old ground in the mid 90’s. If I remember correctly the home fans spilled onto the pitch at the end and started throwing grass at us!!!!!!!!
Frightening stuff indeed

How much has your squad changed from last year then? I dont think drawing 46 games will be enough for promotion

I'm with you on that, we'll have our usual playoff success by finishing 3rd (by a mile) and losing (like normal.)

I don't understand Camara, the whole reason he is in a sulk is he doesn't want to be outside the top flight, yet he would be happy to join Wigan who are almost certain to be relegated next season, whereas he could stay, take Championship defences apart and get us promoted. I think he would make the difference to us making the playoffs or getting promoted automatically so I'd rather he stayed, but he's being advised by an idiot so what can you do

Roll on Saturday evening

Ahh fotball. Does supporting Charlton count as football??
Looking forward to a frustrating season as usual, and if they dont buck their ideas up we could easily be joining the relegation battle. After such a dire and dismal season it was hard to see how on earth we finished so high.
Some consolation that others apparently were worse.
I really dont mind losing, its just the way Charlton lost their matches last year. Absolutely pathetic.
Strangely they played some of their best and most entertaining football the year we were relegated.
Sigh, why do I keep getting a season ticket????

Come on the Mighty Toffees! (Would be over the moon with a spot in Champions league group stage, and chuffed with a Premiership top ten finish!). HOWEVER... we signed Gary Neville today... I really can't see if that is good or bad! Regular England international but, he is getting on a bit!

Can anyone explain to me whats going on at Newcastle? Souness heard Butt was on the market and put in a 10 million pound bid!
