English Premiership Opening week Fixtures

Opening week fixtures see Man Utd open against Birmingham followed by a trip to Turf Moor to play Burnley. An easy start for the champions?

Congratulations Burnley

Burnley 1, Sheffield Utd 0

Half the town traveled down to Wembley to see Burnley beat Sheffield Utd 1-0 and claim the third promotion place returning the team to the top flight of English football for the first time in 33 years.

This caps off a tremendous year for Burnley who were seconds away from another visit to Wembley in the Carling Cup before being cruelly denied by Tottenham and also made it to the last 16 of the FA cup. Several Premiership scalps were claimed in both cup competitions and it must give hope that the team could compete next year.

Look forward to several hotly contested local derbies against Man Utd and City, Bolton and of course their arch rivals Blackburn.

One snap judgment can be made now, though: Mock drafts just aren’t that accurate. That was true in past years and it’s true again in 2009. Of a half-dozen sportswriters at major Web sites, none got more than one in four picks in the first round right, and one nailed only five of the 32 first-round picks.
