It's all going to kick off
The new Premiership season starts today. Already? It's seems like the World Cup was only a couple of months ago...
England's 'performance' in Germany was so dire that I'm still feeling a little jaded where football is concerned. This malaise however will soon pass at Tottenham Hotspur's first home game on Tuesday; When I hear 'In goal, Number 1, Paul Robinson' booming out over the White Hart Lane PA my enthusiasm will return. Life will, for the moment, be great again; Defoe! Keane! Berbatov! Zakora!
C'MON YOU LILLYWHITES!
This morning all teams are, of course, equal on points so fans everywhere will be feeling optimistic about their club's chances in season ahead. Come the end of September though expect reality to sink in. Most fans will by then be slagging off their Managers, followed closely by their players. It's all part of the fun of being a 'supporter' - you can express all of your frustrations about life and direct them at, for example, Emile Heskey, Christiano Ronaldo or Paul Stalteri. I say Paul Stalteri sadly because I know that the bloke who always sits behind me will hurl expletives at him within five minutes of every kick off. Personally I try to provide encouragement towards players of my team no matter how bad they might be. I save any insults for the opposition. I tend to offer the odd pantomine boo.
So who will win the league this season? My tea leaves tell me it is going to be Liverpool. They've bought well in the pre-season transfer window. The addition of a taff and a ginger guy provides their squad with the ability and strength to overpower Chelsea this year. At the bottom end of the table, Aston Villa, Fulham and Watford will be relegated. How will my team Tottenham Hotspur fare? I think they will struggle playing away but will always be good at Gnome games.
