Another thread for you views over the next 5 months. Starting with Phil McNulty's BBC blog

As Arsene Wenger celebrated a victory he believes completes Arsenal's transformation from boys to men, Carlo Ancelotti confessed Chelsea's season has slumped into a deep sleep.
It was only seven months ago, at the end of his first campaign at Stamford Bridge, that Ancelotti added his name to the elite ranks of those who have claimed the domestic double of league and FA Cup.
And yet, after an abject and emphatic defeat at the hands of an Arsenal side they have made their personal playthings in the past, Chelsea's coach was fending off questions about his future as he admitted it was not just his fading team that needed to wake swiftly from their current nightmare.
How times change. Like two leading men swapping roles at the end of a long-running production, it was Wenger who was released from the shackles Chelsea have imposed on him while Ancelotti was suddenly the man in chains.
Arsenal cleared the barrier Wenger regarded as a psychological hurdle for the first time since November 2008, answering questions even posed from within their own ranks about their ability to overcome superpowers such as Chelsea and Manchester United.
The tables were turned as Wenger eulogised about the "mannish dimension" to Arsenal's win and warned the days when they could be bullied - particularly by the likes of Chelsea and Didier Drogba - were over.
