Real football is back!

Charity shield today. Leicester vs. City. Not on the telly for me but it's ok. Watching Dundee vs. Rangers on CBS sports so that will have to do.

Newly promoted Brentford play Arsenal next Friday to open the Premier League Season then it's underway...

Looking for Liverpool to rebound after last season's setbacks. Gomez and Van Dijk are healthy so back line should be a little stiffer now. Lost Wijnaldum to transfer so it will be interesting to see what Klopp does. Opening match vs. Norwich who play clean so should be a good game.

I think this is going to be a very competitive season. Chelsea. And West Ham are the London clubs I expect to be consistently in the top eight this year.

Manchester City look to have the strongest side again and rivals United appear to be back on form.

Leicester, Spurs make up my top seven out of eight.

Villa to wreck havoc?

How is your club going to do?

They looked very strong last year...they stay healthy and they'll make a major challenge for a trophy this season.

What a great match!

Well done Brentford.
