To start with, I do not need any consultation to determine the team that will top the La Liga this season. Easily the best and most exciting football team in the world this past decade remains the team to beat in Spain. All Barca fans can take my word for it and go to sleep.   It is the English Premiership that requires that I consult with the Oracle. When you look at history and add to that the juggling and shuffling of players that have taken place in the BPL these past few weeks since the last season ended one requires a lot of \u2018fasting and prayer\u2019 to work out the direction in which the pendulum of victory would swing. So, I am standing by the crystal ball and peering through its misty lenses. I see the faint outlines of some familiar colours emerging slowly. I am thinking. The 2015\/2016 Barclays Premier League will be another intriguing experience. The managers have set the stage with rather unusual rhetoric this time around. For the first time, they all seem to have dumped diplomatic modesty and are openly declaring their intention and ambition to win the league trophy this season \u2013 Mourinho, Pellegrini, Wenger and even Van Gaal! They all seem to have woken up to Jose Mourinho\u2019s mind game, \u2018pretending\u2019 to be one thing and doing another. He applied it on his return to the Premiership two seasons ago only for everyone to watch in consternation as he almost snatched victory from Manchester City FC at the tail end of the season."}
