Liverpool will win the Premiership this time!

Sir- Soccer lovers are looking forward to the start of the English Premiership, and already analysts are putting their money on Manchester United and Arsenal to win the title, a bet too far-fetched because in my opinion Liverpool is now the team to beat. With only one major purchase (Riise) and one major leaver (Ziege), Liverpool have the settled look of a major force for the next few years. Stability is usually good for long term-prospects and the squad now has the habit of winning trophies including the recent Charity Shield which exposed Manchester United's Yaap Stam and Neville as human after all. OK, so maybe that's a little too radical for you, so why not introduce the joker concept to football. Man.United and the Gunners need the points and have made some major acquisitions. Man.United's 22 goals in 6 pre-season games doesn't suggest that much is wrong, a great new midfielder, the new Van Basten and a good goalkeeping understudy. Liverpool can surely win the premiership this season. Patrick Oyulu, poyulu@tbwa.co.ug
