There isn't a rule as such that determines what is a short story or a long story. We are quite freelance here It's all down to interpretation really at when you think a short story drags into a long story. Think of the timeframe of your story and how long it needs to be to keep the reader interested before they are tired of it. This is your story to tell none of us here are being paid for it so just do it how you want. Do it how you feel you will get the most enjoyment out of telling your story that's all anyone can ask.

I'm going to give 2 XI's. One of who I can remember playing and how much they did for the Premier League. And then a dream Premier League Team. Schmeichel G Neville Terry Ferdinand Cashley Cole C Ronaldo Lampard Gerrard Giggs Shearer Drogba Dream XI Schmeichel G Neville Ferdinand Terry Cashley Cole Viera/Keane Gerrard Lampard/X Alonso (the latter being one of my favourite ever Liverpool players. Bit of bias but so underestimated how good this guy was) C Ronaldo Henry Suarez

My two pennies for what it's worth. 1st. Man Utd. Can't believe i'm saying this but i'm expecting United to be very strong this year. Mourinho has built his team now and will be very hard to beat next season. Pogba will be much better this season and I expect bully boy Lukaku to turn all the draws they had last season into wins. Whether they can do it in the big games is the question but Matic will once again prove to be a big signing. 2nd. Man City. Guardiola was a tactically naive last season and I believe he will have learnt some lessons. Still expect him to make a few mistakes too many. If they can sort their goalkeeper out and keep Kompany fit then could be the difference between 1st and 2nd. Expect them to finish up just short. 3rd. Liverpool. Whether we challenge for the title or not depends on if we can keep Coutinho. If we do then we have a chance but it looks like he's going sadly. Picking us to finish top of the 3rd-6th mini league. 4th. Tottenham. If they wasn't playing at Wembley then i'd say they could challenge for the title but they will be just too inconsistent. Their away form last season wasn't that good either but I think their first 11 is good enough to scrape top 4. 5th. Chelsea. The loss of Matic to a rival will hurt them and then the self implosion of kicking out Costa and Terry will hurt them more than they will want to tell. Morata I don't think will be that good a signing he was clearly second choice to Lukaku. I expect teams to figure out the same tactics as last season and Conte will be gone by Christmas. 6th. Arsenal. If it wasn't for the amount of injuries they get and being in the Europa League I would have said 5th but for those reasons I will say 6th and then Au revoir to Wenger. 7th. Everton. Best of the rest. Will take a bit for all the new signings to gel and I really can see them persisting with Rooney too much. 8th. West Ham. Think they will improve this season and the signing of Hernandez could prove a shrewd buy. Just need to improve the home form. 9th. Leicester. Comfortably safe but not strong enough to challenge the elite. 10th. Bournemouth. I like Eddie Howe but I can't see how much further he can take Bournemouth. Think he will stay one more impressive year and move on next year. 11th. Stoke. Plenty of experience here they shouldn't have any problems. 12th. West Brom. The safe card Pulis will once again boringly stay up bla bla bla bla. 13th. Palace. Decent enough squad should just stay above relegation lot. 14th. Newcastle. Welcome back Newcastle. Rafa been in this game long enough and I expect the rest of the league to give them more respect than Brighton or Huddersfield. 15th. Southampton. Just think they are due a bad season and when Van Dijk goes that's a massive hole they won't be able to fill. 16th. Swansea. Will struggle again and if they stay up relies on them keeping Sigurdsson. 17th. Brighton. Will have a bright start and then fade away towards the end and just scrape to safety. 18th. Watford. Don't remember them being that good last season and even though I think Marco Silva did alright at Hull they are due a bad season. 19th. Burnley. I like Sean Dyche but they will have second season blues. 20th. Huddersfield. Great fairytale having little old Town that is close to me in the Prem but wow are they going to be well overmatched.
