True Saint [Southampton Fan]
Who will win the League?
Birmingham
Who will get relegated?
Swansea, Doncaster and Sheffield Wednesday
Who will be top goalscorer?
Sylvan Ebanks-Blake
Biggest Suprise?
QPR
Who will be player of the year?
James Beattie
Biggest Disappointment?
Norwich
Tresor [Birmingham Fan]
Who will win the League? Hate to be so optimistic, but as backed up by all bookies and pundits, we have the strongest squad in the League, and I will disappointed not to win it. I realise that it’s not that easy, as Steve likes to remind me, but seriously, look at our firepower and depth.
Who will get relegated? Blackpool and Sheffield Wednesday + any from Barnsley, Doncaster and Saints
Who will be top goalscorer? – Not one of our lot, we have too many for consistancy, Beattie is abit injury prone, so I’ll go for Earnshaw or most likely Sylvan Ebanks-Blake.
Biggest Suprise? Burnley or Coventry, Two quality squads, I expect both to finish top 8.
Who will be player of the year? Heart says Seb Larsson, Head says Sylvan Ebanks-Blake or Kightly.
Biggest Disappointment? QPR, I still think top 8 is a sure thing, but the hype means anything less than top 3 will be a disappointment; although to be fair to them, their fans know that the hype is a little too much. Also I think Coppell is losing it, and despite this being the same team that ran away with it 3 years ago, there is a different air around Reading
Hatch [Ipswich Fan]
Who will win the League?
Reading – They seem to have kept most their squad apart from Shorey.
Who will get relegated?
Doncaster, Southampton, Watford
Who will be top goalscorer?
Ebanks-Blake or Doyle
Biggest Suprise?
I reckon Coventry could be up there with a quick succesion of free transfers this week including the once prolific Clinton Morrison. The likes of East and West wood, Doyle and Tabb could be enough to push Cov towards those top two places.
Who will be player of the year?
I can see it being a Coventry player – Jay Tabb is peaking. Akos Buszaky could impress too.
Biggest Disappointment?
I can see Derby having a hard time and suffering a similar fate as Charlton and Sheffield Utd from last season. They will probably finish mid-table or worse.
Larry [West Ham Fan]
Who will win the League?
….can’t really see much further then Birmingham
Who will get relegated?
…Blackpool, Doncaster, not sure about who else
Who will be top goalscorer?
kevin phillips
Biggest Suprise?
Swansea
Biggest Disappointment?
again I think Charlton and Sheffield Utd

Rosenborg Sign Burnley Striker
Aug 8th
Rosenborg have signed Burnley striker Besart Berisha on loan till 31st December 2008 after he has yet to play for the Championship side.
The striker signed for Burnley from Hamburg for 300k but a serious injury prevented him from making his debut for the club.
Burnley manager told the clubs official website – “He has been out for a year and is not quite ready to start in our team just now.
“This’ll enable him to get match games which are vital to his rehabilitation.
“If he goes there he will hopefully come back on the 1 January as a new player and ready to play a part for Burnley Football Club. He desperately needs games.”
