Ok so my last article on predictions for the new season were not entirely true , I upset some Newcastle United and Bolton Wanderers Fans by suggesting they would be relegated and Liverpool fans by suggesting they wont be in the top four .

The main reason I wrote that article is because I'm bored of the same top four and same bottom three year in year out , I wanted to see a change , a shake up and well , I know that wont happen ,the other article's URL is:

Ok so let's get Cracking on my real predictions for the new 2008/2009 season , these are my real thought's and if anyone gets narked off by them , so what I cant please everyone, counter them with a prediction of your own .

Premier League Final Standings :

1. Manchester United ,

I really do believe Manchester United Will retain the crown again making it three in a row . After Ronaldo was confirmed to be staying then with the energetic youthful likes of Rooney , Tevez , Nani , Anderson , Carrick and Hargreaves mixed with the experience of Scholes , Giggs , New signing Petrucci and Van Der Sar United still look formidable .

2. Arsenal .

Yes I was telling the truth when I said United and Arsenal would be the top two .Like I said last year's injury to Eduardo spoilt the season , how do you go on with images like that etched in your skull ? , especially young Fabregas who was first on the scene , he was horrified , but this year I believe Cesc will be on Fire after winning Euro 2008 with Spain , he is a star in the making for sure . They will be a much stronger team this year .

3. Chelsea.

After defeat on both fronts to Man United last season Chelsea will be determined to make an Impact again , I can't see the Title going back to Stamford Bridge this year , Maybe next year . I feel it won't be a complete disaster for Chelsea , The Carling cup will move back across London and a Last 8 in Europe spot too ,weather they can go one better than last year remains to be seen .

 

4. Liverpool .

Yep you guessed it , the usual same old boring top four will be rounded off by Liverpool , they have bought Robbie Keane to partner Fernando Torres up front and a few other players who to be honest I've never heard of so I'll reserve my judgement on them until I see them in action , it will be the same old cries of " This is our year " , err when was the last time that was said ? I do feel Liverpool have a strong team but not one to challenge for the title just yet .

5. Tottenham .

Ok so I put spurs in the top four in my last article , that was somewhat optimistic , they have been getting rid of players like there is no tomorrow , they have signed a few decent players in Dos Santos , Mudric , Bentley and Gomez , but is that enough to break the top four ? Not this year no , fifth will still be some achievement though .

6. Portsmouth .

I did'nt give Harry Redknapp's men the credit they deserve on my last article either , they are turning into a major force , they are already in the charity shield , so they could start the season where they
