I hope @AshfordGill joins again, if only to discuss Jamie O'Hara's transfer to the Gills. I hope it works out for him, looked a decent player for a while, very sad to see him slide down the league.
Also missing (in terms of registering an interest in the league this year) are @Bald Archie and @Erik The Viking. Be good to see you guys back
Count me in!! Thanks SD as always for running this, it always makes the Spursless Saturday afternoons more interesting (although not so many of those this year ).

Everton v Tottenham Everton are in the process of rebuilding under manager Ronald Koeman, and their signings so far have been positive. Tottenham will be looking to kick on from last season but they started quite slowly last year and did not get a win until their fifth league game - I don't think they will start with a win this time either. Lawro's prediction: 1-1 Blossoms' prediction: 2-2
Hull City v Leicester City - Saturday, Live Premier League, 12.30pm, Sky Sports 1 HD It's a good first game for Leicester but the result does depend how Hull approach it. I think they will probably sit back and be pretty defensive. please log in to view this image Ahmed Musa is one of Leicester's summer additions Still, even if they do, I don't see anything other than a win for Claudio Ranieri's side. I just don't think it is right to get rid of your manager so close to the season, like Hull did with Steve Bruce, and I can't see how they will be able to live with Leicester in attack. PAUL PREDICTS: 0-2 please log in to view this image please log in to view this image Bournemouth v Man Utd I worry for Bournemouth this season. They are a good footballing team but opponents got used to facing them, they didn't finish the last campaign well, and they have lost Matt Ritchie too. please log in to view this image Man Utd beat Leicester to win the Community Shield in early August I think Man Utd will win this game quite comfortably. Zlatan Ibrahimovic is such a presence, he's full of confidence, and I just don't see how Bournemouth will cope. PAUL PREDICTS: 0-3 please log in to view this image please log in to view this image Arsenal v Liverpool The injuries are a major concern for Arsenal. They have one centre forward in Olivier Giroud when their rivals have three or four each. Don't tell me Alexis Sanchez and Theo Walcott are centre forwards. They might be able to step in for one or two games but you are not going to win the Premier League that way. please log in to view this image Arsenal open their season live on Sky Sports against Liverpool As for Liverpool, they are decent going forward, they are quick and score goals on the break, but again, defensively they are not too good either. I see plenty of goals in this one. PAUL PREDICTS: 2-2 please log in to view this image please log in to view this image Chelsea v West Ham It's a difficult start for both teams but I'm going for Chelsea to win the league so I'm going for a Chelsea win here too. People say they weren't great defensively last season but Conte is a great tactician and they will improve. please log in to view this image Merson believes Eden Hazard (left) will be key to Chelsea's hopes this season If N'Golo Kante gets around Dimitri Payet, I don't see Payet touching the ball too often. He's a top player and you don't want to be giving away free-kicks around the box, but he's not really going to run away from defenders. PAUL PREDICTS: 2-0 please log in to view this image please log in to view this image Crystal Palace v West Brom - Saturday, 3pm What Palace need to do this season under Alan Pardew is to break their slumps quicker than they have done in the past. They can reel off six wins in a row but they can lose eight games on the spin too, and that's why they are so inconsistent. If Pardew can sort that out I think they'll have a good season. please log in to view this image Yannick Bolasie (right) has been linked with a move to Everton West Brom will go to Selhurst Park on Saturday to frustrate their opponents, but I think Palace will just about have enough to break them down before the end of the game. PAUL PREDICTS: 1-0 Burnley v Swansea - Saturday, 3pm This is a must-win game already for Burnley. They haven't really bought many players and it's going to be a difficult season. It will be interesting to see if Andre Gray can score goals in the Premier League because if he can, he could go for a lot of money come January. please log in to view this image Andre Gray's goals fired Burnley to promotion last season He won't get as many chances as he did in the Championship so it will be a challenge, and I think Swansea will get a draw on Saturday. PAUL PREDICTS: 1-1 Everton v Tottenham - Saturday, 3pm I have played at Everton enough times to know this is a tricky first game for Tottenham. It's a difficult place to play, especially on the opening day, and I like Ronald Koeman's business so far - selling John Stones for £47.5m and buying Ashley Williams for £12m, I like that. please log in to view this image New Everton defender Ashley Williams has joined the club from Swansea For Spurs, it depends if there is a hangover from Euro 2016 for players like Harry Kane and Dele Alli. Tottenham have a team already but I feel they need to add more to their squad because they're a bit light. I don't think they've done enough yet to go on and win the Premier League. PAUL PREDICTS: 1-1 Middlesbrough v Stoke - Saturday, 3pm I think Middlesbrough have done alright in the transfer market so far. I like Alvaro Negredo, who I think is a good centre forward that will give them options. If they can play to his strengths, they will be OK. please log in to view this image Former Man City striker Alvaro Negredo is now a Middlesbrough player On this occasion, though, the nice big pitch at the Riverside Stadium suits Stoke's style of play and I think they will get a draw. PAUL PREDICTS: 1-1 Southampton v Watford - Saturday, 3pm Sadio Mane will be a big miss for Southampton but I'm not sure about Watford this season. I know they have always done well after changing managers, but sometimes that can catch up with you and I'm going for a narrow Saints win. please log in to view this image Odion Ighalo (right) and Troy Deeney (left) enjoyed a good partnership last year Towards the end of last season, teams got comfortable playing against Troy Deeney and Odion Ighalo and they figured out once you stop those two, you've virtually won the match. PAUL PREDICTS: 1-0 Man City v Sunderland - Saturday, 5.30pm There won't be a lot between the two teams in this match. David Moyes' Sunderland will go to the Etihad to make it hard for Man City, but as the game goes on, I think Pep Guardiola's side will break them down. please log in to view this image Sergio Aguero in pre-season action for Man City They will be patient, and to be fair to Moyes, it's not the best of starts for Sunderland. PAUL PREDICTS: 2-0
