Predictions for the new season, Guardian style

There is something about the start of the football season for us addicts that indicates our life is back on track, a better and more structured weekend awaits, and after all a more structure life is meant to be the easier to deal with our addictions.

 Champions

Manchester United, they have increased strength and depth in their squad and with their attacking options upfront and some proper wingers Manchester United are my favourites for the title.

Relegated

Blackpool, West Bromwich Albion, Wigan
Top scorer

Dider Drogba should snatch the golden boot award again, loves playing up front on his own and Chelsea are sure to bag plenty of goals at Stamford Bridge.

Summer signing

Javier Hernandez looks set to be a fantastic young player he has shown his quality and the good world cup, he has bags of pace plenty of ability and two good feet.

One to watch

Gareth Bale looks likely to one of the best players in the League this season, he may be more like one to continue watching but his first full season at left wing could leave Spurs in a very strong position.


Improvement

This obsession with using the term "football" to indicate whether a team is playing "attractive football", a lot of pundits of journalist say things like "Stoke/Blackburn dont play football". They do play footall, football is more than just about nice touches and great goals. Whilst it would be impossible to argue that Stoke play attractive football they nevertheless play football and excel at some of the games other facets, lessons which Aresnal could learn from.

I'm most looking forward to ... the Manchester Derbys were two of the best games last season, the game at Old Trafford being one of the highlights of last season, this years rivalry could be even bigger.

By May we'll know ... whether or not Man City's big squad can be kept happy.
