as the season has finished now who is going to win next year

[Steven]

Chelsea - with their key players present they are more selfish and ruthless than Scrooge (pre-ghosts visiting )

Man Utd will put up another good fight but I cannot see them winning it 2 years a row playing in the same style sadly imho. Don't get me wrong though - I do have the Ronaldo avatar on standby!

Both were phenomenally consistent over the whole season but for next season I think Chelsea will prevail

Liverpool and Arsenal will still fall short over a 38 game season imo, though they will improve.

As for the token Spurs inclusion, anyone who thinks for one thing they can concede 20 less goals a season to get close to the big 4 next season, has had some of the good stuff LGS is on!

I see hunts has been ever the optomist As well as I see us doing, winning may be pushing it a bit

Think Man U will hold on to it next year, Hargreaves and a few more signings (NOT BERBATOV!) mean the will be much stronger than last season.

[chrislad]

Best I see Spurs doing (IF they keep Berbatov) is a Champions League finish at 4th.

[kopchoir]

had to include it for him

[GBDG1]

United... Chelsea and Liverpool are both capable of getting into a chess match with a pub team. Too many draws for both.

The addition of a couple of quality forward players should make united unstoppable, so long as we avoid big injuries.

Kopchoir are you from Bury? If so that is a disgrace, I hope you're a good distance from the hallowed turf of Gigg Lane.

[plonky]

One or 2 top quality strikers and quality wingers please

[sdb123]

I may be bias however I'm going for Chelsea...Here's hoping for a much less injury ravaged squad next season.

[RMCF]

Its hard to vote when you don't know about signings.

Smart money would go with Chelsea based on recent summer spending spree's but they have said they won't spend big this summer. If this is the case then I feel the African Nations Cup will be hard on them at a key time in the season (will miss 5 players, especially Drogba and Essien).

So if all this is true I will go for Man Utd - again!!

[RMCF]

BTW I love your optimistic inclusion of 'OTHER' (some would say Spurs too!!).

I do rant on about the poor standard of the teams in the EPL outside of the top 4 quite often (and I am no great fan of the season-long quality of Liverpool), so thinking that someone else might won it is just crazy.

We will have more chance of discovering who shot JFK, intelligent alien life and a cure to global warming in the next year.

I remember last season the starting price in the bookies for Spurs, who were 5th fav for the EPL, was 50/1 - that is shocking for the 5th best team in the land.

In Spain the price would be more like 10/1.

They are either going to be worried top 4 team fans fearful of us crashing their little party or teams from the rest of the league jealous we are the only side capable of puting up some sort of challange

If you tighten up that defence, buy about 3 or 4 new players and keep hold of Berbatov (assuming he doesn't suffer 2nd season blues) then I believe you could break up the top 4 and make it into the CL.

But you will still be 50/1 to win the EPL cos you would have no chance.

Sorry

[Sicknote10]

If the poll didn't say who you had voted for, I'd have gone for Spurs But I see Chelsea getting the title back (aslong as Jose stays)

[overkill]

Chelsea or Utd I'm afraid. Depending on which one gets out of the blocks fastest.

The net result will be even bigger gaps in those sitting in the stands...........

[dannius]

I voted for Spurs of course, couldn't bring myself to vote for anyone else.

You have to be an optimist as a Spurs fan!

Why pay a tenner more to see the same long ball football.........?

Hunts, I didn't vote for our lot?! You gotta be realistic - not over optimistic.

I too cannot understand not supporting your local team - especially if the team that you choose to support is Liverpool

The same applies though Simon - I cannot understand the number of southerners or Koreans supporting Utd. I'm not arguing about the best-supported club and the efficacy of that support, I'm passing comment as to why people do not support their local team (ie have that team as their team). You may "support" Bury , but surely a football fan has one team and that's it - maybe I'm a traditionalist.

There's actually supporting your local club and going to support your local club.

Makes me laugh the people who are a stone's throw from the team they support but sit at home on the net on a Saturday afternoon.

I just hope you're over the dirty Radcliffe side of town far away from the north Bury united heartland . There is no excuse for having an 0161 phone number and supporting 'pool. If you're desperate to support the underdog support city. hehe

[Woodywizz]

Hunts - if I could manage to get hold of a season ticket, or indeed any ticket for a match at OT, then I would be there every Saturday. It's not as if they sell them on the door.

Conversely, I applaud your 2 train/4 bus journey to the Lane - unless on a Sunday when there is only one train and it doesn't appeal as much
