Premier League: Robbie Savage, 606
The former Wales midfielder Robbie Savage retired from professional football last season, and is a regular presenter of 606. You can follow Robbie on
Tip for the title
Manchester United. They may have lost Paul Scholes but they've got Wayne Rooney - he'll be the best player in the league this year. will have an even better second season, and they have a future England captain in Phil Jones. They've added more pace, and it's the most important asset in the Premier League.
Players to look out for
Adel Taarabt. I cant believe he can be that good in the Championship and struggle in the Premier League, like he did at Spurs. I'm really looking forward to seeing him.
One change that would make it a better experience for fans
Players should be allowed to celebrate with the fans when they score and not get booked for it. When you've paid a hundred quid to get in you'd love players to jump in the crowd and celebrate with you.
The team I support
Wrexham - let's just hope they can get their finances sorted and play some games.
Manchester City, because of my friends Sparky (Hughes) and Roberto (Mancini) - I live in Manchester, and I think they'll be United's closest challengers. They'll finish second this season.
Earliest football memory
I remember watching the 1981 with my dad. Tommy Hutchison scored at both ends, and one of them was a diving header.
Guaranteed headline
Possibly during the season, but if they remain without a trophy at the end: 'Arsenal Part Company With Arsene.'

Please get rid of both of them.

Even TS do these shows better than 5live. Awful radio.Grow up 5live.

I'm a Man Utd fan but can't help but feel that Gunners fans are getting totally screwed on this one. How can the owners of Arsenal sell their captain on the cheap for £30m? Sounds like a done deal now - I think it's about time clubs hardened up and reminded players they are in (VERY lucrative) contracts for a reason.
Maybe a couple of months playing in the reserves will remind a few of them how fortunate they are to be playing for their respective clubs and think twice about leaving 3 days before the start of a new season...

This show and his behaviour falls way below any reaonable standards.I wouldn't mind if he was any good as a pundit but he's not.Get someone decent,not someone who only brings to the table his immaturity.Switched off again.
