I have to admit that I'm not really a fan of international football - lack of patriotism I guess - or maybe I'm more worried about players from my club team getting injured and the impact it could have on the team's season. That being said I will still try and watch games because its still football. I think I'll be giving the Ukraine game a miss though, as I don't fancy paying specifically to watch it online. If there was something riding on the game, something more than pride, I might have paid the £5 or £10 to "buy" the game, but there isn't so I don't see the point.

I think using the internet to broadcast games is a good idea though, as internet speeds in the country are at the point where watching live events online is no longer a problem. What do others think?

If the general trend of results from the start of the Premiership season are to be believed, I think the title will most likely be won by Chelsea, United or even Arsenal with Liverpool perhaps providing a fairly strong challenge.  I think the race for the European places could be more interesting though, with Everton and Villa being reasonably consistently there or thereabouts over the last few years; City with all that money are looking good too, although its still to be seen how Hughes can handle the egos if results start slipping.  I predict that Sunderland could be dark horses this season as Bruce seems to have bought wisely.
