Great to see a EPL (soccer thread) thanks Sportz...sorry have had so much on my plate...Floydyboy mentioned the BBC site...Mark Lawrenson (Lawro's tips) is one of the better pundits around and worth consulting if considering a bet on the Premiership...have followed Chelski for years and with the Roman chucking roubles around it has been fantastic...Mourinho will find it harder to match their defensive efforts of last season and will have to score more freely this year...first months are always a settling phase and sometimes new or lower teams can get on a roll and are worth backing...esp if they get a win first up!
