It's gonna be a tough season for every major club especially with all this mega-money transfers. My bet is with chelsea.

Tricky question! These past few years has seen a complete dominance of the competition by English clubs, and three making it through to the semis almost seems inevitable, but not this year I imagine. Think about it, the Premier League this season is going to have one of its most interesting, tightly contested seasons, and for Chelsea, Man Utd, Liverpool, I don't see that Europe is going to be a priority this year, which is a first for Liverpool! Though this of course might mean that Arsenal could surprise us all and have their year, as I think anyway that they are going to lose out on their top-four place to either Everton, Villa or City. This would leave us in the tricky position that UEFA found themselves in after the 2005 final, when Liverpool had missed out on qualification places in the League and yet were the holders of the trophy. And in response to all those suggesting Chelsea, I really don't think so. Their team had such promise last season and looked like the impossible team to beat at the beginning, but what happened to that? Plus they had their chance, and should have taken home their first European trophy in 2008. That proved, having been gifted passage through in the semis, that Chelsea don't have what it takes for European success. They had their chance. So this year I think its the chance of someone else to step up and challenge Barcelona. They'll be favourites I say, because the only clubs who can actually defeat them at the minute are English ones. I wouldn't be surprised if we saw Inter v Barca in the final, or maybe even an all Spanish affair?...

Not sure yet until the new season kick start. But I guest of course Real Madrid as what they spend for the new season all top player was there. Hopefully the other team will keep fighting and play a good football although without star player.

Now its too early and also very tough to predict the winner of UEFA.This year we have got many major and minor changes in most of the clubs.So, we have to wait and see their game plan and co-ordination to predict the winner.On paper Real Madrid is the more likely to win the league but Manchester United have lived upto their expectations for most of the time.Defending champions Barcelona FC will provide an excellent resistance.Chelsea,Arsenal and Liverpool are also the favourites.For me Real Madrid is the most likely team to win the league,with the inclusion of Ronlado and Kaka I feel RM has got the well balanced side to defeat any team. Happy mylotting.....

I feel it's too early for us to predict the club that is going to win the 2009/2010 UEFA Champions League. However, I want to quickly point out that it is not the big names or so-called big clubs that win tournaments, it is a well-organised and disciplined team! Normally, many will predict that one of the big clubs like: Barcelona and Real Madrid from Spain;Liverpool, Manchester United and maybe Chelsea from England, the two Milan giants: AC Milan and Inter Milan from Italy, and maybe Bayern Munich from Germany will end up as the eventual winner. One cannot be too sure which team will win. In fact we should brace up ourselves for shocks. In conclusion, my wish is that the team I support, Arsenal FC of England wins the tournament for the first time.
