Hey All,

So, the new season is almost upon us, so I thought that I would take the time to come here and see what everyone thinks about what might be to come.

Promotions? Relegations? Signings?

Personally I think Milwall are one to watch this season due to the signings they've made, so I look forward to watching their progress.

What does everyone else think?

As a Millwall fan I am VERY excited about the season. We have bought in a manager who has wasted little time in stating his ambition, called a few of us some "choice" names at the fan forum in a bit of banter, and has made some really nice signings. Morrison, MacDonald, Bailey and Martin are all very good bits of business.

I just hope we make the headlines for the right reasons this season. :)

I'm hoping Bournemouth can do well this year, always had a soft spot for them for some reason, I come from down south so also hope Yeovil can make their mark this season but think it'll be tough for them.

From what I saw of Yeovil on Saturday I think they will do OK this season, lots of us were enviously looking at their right back and wishing he was wearing blue, but then again we were absolutely bloody dreadful so it might not be the right game to measure their chances with.

I think Championship 2013 would be a lot less exciting having seen the departure of talents like Wilfried Zaha who was the best player last year. However, I think with Wigan dropping down it could be an exciting campaign afterall with the football exhibited by them in the latter stages of the Premier League Season

You see I don't get the Zaha hype, I saw him play twice against Millwall last season and both times our right back had him firmly in his pocket the entire games, and he is not even one of the top right backs in the division! Manchester United and everyone else obviously sees something in him that I certainly don't.

Didn't he win the Championship player of the year? That says a lot. You don't win that by playing badly.

He should of signed for a club that are mid table in the Premier League that would play him every week rather than go to United, he won't play too much this season I doubt.

I think he'll play quite a lot this season mainly because, if last season's form is anything to go by, United's wingers are dreadful. He'll walk into the team ahead of Valencia.

I like the look of Will Hughes at Derby, I hope they keep him and he plays there this season though and continues his development.
