I think leeds will make it up there and then make it stick. They have had some major players out through long term injuries this season, including key striker Cresswell. It makes me, as a leeds fan, pretty excited about our prospects when you consider Eirik Bakke was a regular for Villa while on loan there, but he is failing to impress Blackwell and make it onto the team sheet on match days, surely that means we have better midfielders than an already premiership-standard player. \n\nReading have spent alot of money getting to the position they are currently in, It makes me wonder whether they will have enough left to compete with the elite!\n\nWith regards to sheffield, well they are our yorkshire rivals so I have a slightly biased opinion about them. I hope Watford can make the second automatic promotion place leaving leeds to beat sheffield in the play-off final.

Alex Ferguson (8 titles in 12 years), \nNistelrooy (best scorer in epl so far), \nRooney (pugnacious ball winner, great passer, and can attack too),\nWes Brown (underrated but gets the job done)\nvan der saar

As of a fortnight ago, the Dally M points tally stood at:\n\n14 - Johnathan Thurston\n14 - Cameron Smith\n13 - Ben Kennedy\n10 - Danny Buderus\n10 - Darren Lockyer\n9 - Adam Dykes\n9 - Greg Inglis\n8 - Mark Gasnier\n8 - Willie Mason\n8 - Lance Thompson\n\nOn this, it would take a real surge of form for Andrew Johns to win it especially as Danny Buderus could also take points from him. I would say that the frontrunners will come from among this group. \n\nAs a Seaeagles fan, I would like to see Ben Kennedy win it because he has been so good for us since he joined. It is also his last year in the competition. It would be good if we could send him and Steve Menzies off on a winning note but that is a long way down the track yet.

Well you could put up an argument for about half of them, but if we base it on this year's results you'd probably say it's between Eade, Malthouse, Craig, Worsfold & Roos.  \n\nSorry about the long answer, but here's each ones argument.\n\nEade - In only his second year in charge has taken the Doggies from last place into close to a contender.  Has a small list but his game-plan has put them in a great position.  Remember they lost arguably best player Luke Darcy and his backup ruckman Minson to injury.\n\nMalthouse - Collingwood have equalled last years wins total already and are competitive against the best teams around (won 5 of 22 in 2005, currently are 5 of 7). After having his team injury depleted last year he has answered his critics.  We know Collingwood still had the players from their back to back grand final appearances.\n\nCraig - Has done a fantastic job with the Crows.  In 2004 they were looking in decline and finished 12th with 8 wins, in 2005 finished the home and away season on top and lost in the preliminary final.  This year are even stronger having won 6 of 7.  Craig has been missing first choice ruckman Hudson all year, key defender Nathan Bock, Ricciuto has been underdone and Perrie is out for 3 months but they are still flying.  In the past they would've struggled, not under Craig.  the question is why wasn't he made coach earlier.\n\nWorsfold - Underrated coach who's team keeps winning.  Alot of people will say well he's got Judd, Cox, Cousins, Kerr etc. And while this is true, you need to get all these huys on the park and performing together at the top of their ability.  The Eagles had so much trouble off field in the preseason you may have thought they wouldn't have the focus but Worsfold has got them equal first backing uip from last years narrow Grand Final defeat.\n\nRoos - Don't write off the Swans this year.  Most people have, but after starting slowly the Swans are 4-3 and Roos has them in a competitive position.  All he wants to do is have them thereabouts, in the finals for a push towards another flag.  He knows the modern game plan as good as any and has his players execute it.\n\nThe winner so far - Neil Craig. 10/10 perfomance year to date.  It's hard to see them going backwards once they get their players fully fit.\n\np.s. I'm a Blues fan.

Louisville is going to have an awesome season. A healthy Brian Bohm at QB, or even his backup Hunter Cantwell have the potential to have very productive seasons, and they still have the big bruiser Michael Bush. I think they will win all of their regular season games except for West Virginia. They wont win it all though, because QB Brady Quinn and WR Jeff Samardzija will lead Notre Dame to a national title.

Tampa Bay is currently in the 8th spot in the East. It's a toss up between Montreal & New Jersey for the final spot.\n\nRight now Edmonton is in the 8th spot, tied with San Jose. Colorado is only one point ahead of Edmonton and San Jose.

I think Australia over Italy is a huge possibility. They are both defencive sides and it will come down to who can break open the midfield and defencive line to score the goals. Being able to create the opportunity to score is not impossible for the Socceroo's and with Kewell playing the left flank, look out if he gets close enough. With that said I think Italy are a very sound side with great technique and they will exploit Australia's reputation of rough play and are expected to win this game. Australia have no pressure from anyone but themselves to win this game and if they manage to control that look out.
