Name - Lucas "Flash" Pollard
Club - Chelsea
Vinny's Odds to Win - 9/4
Favourite Current Player/s - Joe Cole, John Terry, Frank Lampard, Michael Essien
Favourite All Time Player/s - Gianfranco Zola, Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink
Favourite Player/s Not From Your Club - Wayne Rooney, David Villa, Wesley Sneijder, Christian Vieri, David Beckham, Eidur Gudjohnsen, James Milner, Joe Hart
Least Favourite Player - William Gallas, Robbie Savage, Jamie Carragher, Martin Keown, Alpay
Favourite Goal - Zola v Norwich in the League Cup. Also a fan of Wayne Bridge v Arsenal in the Champs League. Not a great goal just meant a lot.
Where Do You Think You Will Finish This Season - I'd be happy with Top 4 but may have to settle for top half.
Other Than Yourself Who Do You Think Will Win The Predicta League - Everyone is backing one of the Capewells so to be different I'll go for Vinny.
Who Will Win The Premiership - It's Man Utd's to lose but I like to think Chelsea will be there or thereabouts come the end of the season.
Top Scorer in Premiership- Torres if he stays fit. Drogba has looked very good pre season
Who Will Win The FA Cup - One of the Top 4...I'll go with Arsenal as they haven't won anything for a while.
Who Will Win Champs League - Barcelona, after Chelsea get screwed in the Quarter/Semi final again.
‘What Club You Would Be’ by Vinny - Chelsea - Former champions, always there or thereabouts, nothing Flash about them but they get the job done. Their previous experience come the end of the season could be crucial, but a good start is vital. |

Name - Martin "Capes" Capewell
Club - Manchester United FC
Vinny's Odds to Win - 5/2
Favourite Current Player/s - Wayne Rooney
Favourite All Time Player/s - Peter Schmeichel, Roy Keane
Favourite Player/s Not From Your Club - Rafael Van Der Vaart, Fernando Torres, Lionel Messi
Least Favourite Player - Don't really have one, but I don't like Jamie Carragher if I'm honest.
Favourite Goal - Rooney's Volley against Newcastle from a couple of years ago. Pure class!
Where Do You Think You Will Finish This Season - The dreaded 3rd place curse will probably strike me again.
Other Than Yourself Who Do You Think Will Win The Predicta League - Got an awful feeling it'll be one of the newbies, Shona's dad seems very confident...
Who Will Win The Premiership - Manchester United (hopefully, although this is said mostly out of loyalty rather than genuine belief)
Top Scorer in Premiership - Got to be Torres if he stays fit all season. Although Rooney may finally step out of Ronaldo's shadow and have the season of his life.
Who Will Win The FA Cup - One of the Top 4...I'll go for Chelsea.
Who Will Win Champs League – Barcelona.
‘What Club You Would Be’ by Vinny - Liverpool - Yet to win the title but never too far away, last season was the closet they have been for some time. A match for any side on the day at their best, but their inconsistency over a season could cost them at the business end of the season. |

Favourite All Time Player/s - Wright, Henry,
Favourite Player/s Not From Your Club - Rooney, Beckham, Anelka

Where Do You Think You Will Finish This Season - 3rd
Other Than Yourself Who Do You Think Will Win The Predicta League - Vinny
Who Will Win The Premiership - Man Utd
Top Scorer in Premiership - Anelka
Who Will Win The FA Cup- Arsenal
Who Will Win Champs League - Barcelona
‘What Club You Would Be’ by Vinny - Man City - Talked about as potential Title contenders but that is a lie! Splash the cash around but not wisely, talk the talk but ultimately doesn't walk the walk. Should be top half but it could well be another disappointing season ahead.

Name - Gary "Vinny" Capewell
Club - Derby County
Vinny's Odds to Win - 7/2
Favourite Current Player/s - Fernando Torres
Favourite All Time Player/s - "Mart Poom - legend and much underrated. Also, Igor Stimac was a legend"
Favourite Player/s Not From Your Club - Jimmy Bullard
Least Favourite Player - "Ian Wright - Crap player, crap pundit, crap presenter."
Favourite Goal - "Paolo Wanchope on his debut against Manchester United - What A Day!"
Where Do You Think You Will Finish This Season - Top four with all the new additions, and given the competitive nature of the league this would be an achievement for the current Champ!
Other Than Yourself Who Do You Think Will Win The Predicta League - Tough one but it's about time Capers won. Out of the newcomers don't rule out Rob Elliott or Steve Hodgetts (I fully expect both Dad’s to annihilate their son’s!!!)
Who Will Win The Premiership - United for me, this will be Rooney's season to shine. Was going to say Liverpool until they sold Alonso. Chelsea could also go close this time but I think the new style under their new manager will take time for them to adapt to. If they are second come Christmas they will win it!!
Top Scorer in Premiership – I’ve backed Eduardo, Rooney and Jo
Who Will Win The FA Cup - Chelsea
Who Will Win Champs League - Barcelona (Madrid still need to buy some new defenders!) Chelsea will do the best out of the British teams.
‘What Club You Would Be’ by Vinny - Manchester United - Last year’s champions. Had a good start last year and used all their experience to establish an unassailable lead halfway through. Somewhat stumbled over the line and those tactics will be difficult to repeat this time around with more title contenders appearing.

‘What Club You Would Be’ by Vinny- Hull City - Surprised many with some great results early on last season, but soon ran out of puff and stumbled over the line to avoid relegation. A repeat performance and it could be a long hard season ahead.

‘What Club You Would Be’ by Vinny - Aston Villa - A fantastic start to the early part of last season and carried it on until just after Christmas when a top four place was a distinct possibility. But then they really struggled for form, didn't win for ages and dropped away tamely. Others may improve past them this season. |

‘What Club You Would Be’ by Vinny - Wigan - New gaffer who tries to impress and play sexy football. First time at this level and may find it tough to adapt to this high standard. Has potential but it will be mid-table at best. |

‘What Club You Would Be’ by Vinny - Burnley - Will go all out attack from the first whistle, but a lack of knowledge and experience at this level mean that it will be a long season ahead languishing near the bottom of the table. |

Who Will Win The Premiership - Chelsea
Top Scorer in Premiership - Michael Owen
Who Will Win The FA Cup - Liverpool
Who Will Win Champs League - Inter Milan
‘What Club You Would Be’ by Vinny - Birmingham - A Scottish manager who has done well to get this far. Competitive, but knowledge of proper football (not the SPL!) would be ideal. Could surprise if signings work out but it could be a long season ahead if not picking up points early in the season.

‘What Club You Would Be’ by Vinny - Tottenham - Wise man in charge who gets the best out of his players and spends the funds available to him wisely. Will improve from last season and though a Title push may be beyond them they should have a good run in the Cup’s. Bright times ahead. |

‘What Club You Would Be’ by Vinny - Everton - Do extremely well with the limited resources available to them (remember Uttoxeter Juniors?!?!). Doesn't like to splash the cash needlessly (especially at the bar!!). Manager knows his stuff though, and getting off to a good start could easily mean reaching the Top 5 or 6.
