Official Premier League 2010-11 Thread (+Beyond Fantasy Football League)

Alright, decided might as well start one of these threads for the upcoming Premier League season this weekend!

Lots of questions for the upcoming season...
- Will Man City finally break in to the 'top 4'?
- Can Chelsea defend their title (with Cech still nursing an injury)?
- Who will finish as the 'top 4'?
- Can Birmingham repeat on the 'lucky' success as they did last season?

Excellent choice, it's my EXACT top 4 ranking too! LOL

So do you guys subscribe to Setanta to watch the games now? Ever since last year, Setanta seem to get all the good games while RSN airs the absolute worst game from the schedule every week... It's quite depressing. I ended up watching La Liga on GolTV instead.

Yeah, I've been watching on Setanta since they made it available. I don't have The Score so if there is ever a game showing on there that I want to watch I will just watch it on the computer.

TheScore lost the EPL rights to TSN2, but picked up serie A.
