More Football

Something to look forward to - next season's Premier League fixtures were announced this morning. With Newcastle's forward line consisting of a half-fit Shola Ameobi and the disinterested and disillusioned Albert Luque, expectations are not exactly sky high here. At least the fixture computer has been relatively kind with the opening games, our now customary tonkings at Anfield and Old Trafford aside.

Sheffield United are certainties for relegation - see Sunderland for what happens to battling sides with limited talent and no proven goalscorer. Watford might put up more of a fight but lack the resources. I think Wigan, Fulham and Aston Villa will scrap over the remaining place, with Reading finishing mid table. Chelsea will, of course, win the thing again.
