Swansea City AFC

Last season:
After two great seasons with Brendan Rodgers and then Michael Laudrup managing the club they were last year struggling a lot more. Being in the Europa League combined with a few injuries on key players such as Michu didn’t help and finally Laudrup was fired with a couple of months left of the season. After being involved in the relegation battle they managed to get four wins out of the last seven matches and finish in the 12th spot.

The VIPStakes sports representative that blogged from Brazil during the World Cup is back with a series of Sports Blogs in which he will write about the upcoming Premier League. Here's a short introduction about this season's teams, some predictions and betting advice!

Aston Villa

Last season:
After an amazing start of the season winning 3-1 away at the Emirates versus Arsenal the season didn’t continue in the same fashion for the Birmingham side.

Burnley FC

Last season:
After selling strikers Jay Rodriguez and Charlie Austin within a period of 12 month time the expectations on Burnley in general and their goal-scoring ability in particular was low ahead of last year’s season.  But Sam Vokes and Danny Ings proved everyone wrong and by scoring 20 goals each they were the keystones of the Championship runners-up last season. The team were strong home at Turf More as always but they were also starting to get wins away from home last year. Even if Vokes were out with an injury for the last two months of the season the team sealed a direct relegation spot with a couple of matches left of the season.

2014/15 season preview:
Burnley has got Chelsea and Man United to play in their first two home games this season. Dream or nightmare? They have strengthen their squad with the additions of the likes of Steven Reid, Michael Knightly and Matthew Taylor but even more important they have managed to keep the dynamic duo of Vokes and Ings who they are hoping will continue to produce goals in the Premier League as well.

West Bromwich Albion

Last season:
2011/12 was a successful season for WBA where they finished at 8th spot in the table. But Steve Clarke failed to build on that achievement and got to see himself sacked halfway through the season. He was replaced by the Spaniard Pepe Mel who’s only instruction was to save the team away from relegation which he also managed to do. Eventually WBA finished in a 17th place only three months off relegated Norwich.

2014/15-season preview:
In order to avoid another disappointing season West Brom have now reinforced their squad. Incoming are experienced centreback Joloen Lescott and midfielders Craig Gardner and Chris Baird from Aston Villa and Fulham.

There are many stupid people in this world. Quite often they end up getting themselves into mischief or hurt and expect someone else to bail them out.

I recall a time in Portsmouth, when a 15 year old was breaking into a community centre and fell through the sky light. He was injured but not seriously. Was he marched to his parents and forced to apologise?
