Barclays Premier League kicks off on 14 August

The new Premier League season kicks off later on Saturday, with many tipping it to be the most competitive yet.

Big-spending Manchester City open up away at Tottenham at 1245 BST, with champions Chelsea completing the day's action at home to West Brom at 1730. 

Newly-promoted Blackpool get their top-flight return under way at Wigan, with a total of eight games scheduled.

Liverpool host Arsenal in Sunday's only Premier League fixture, with Newcastle away at Manchester United on Monday. 

While Chelsea remain many pundits' favourites to retain their Premier League title, Carlo Ancelotti's side could face challenges from a number of sides. 

Manchester United, who have won 11 out of the 17 Premier League seasons, go into the campaign as their most likely rivals for the title, and having boosted their squad with the likes of Chris Smalling and Javier Hernandez.

But Arsenal - who have kept hold of Cesc Fabregas despite Barcelona's best efforts to sign him this summer - Roy Hodgson's rejuvenated Liverpool and Tottenham, who finished fourth last season, also go into the season full of optimism. 

In fact Spurs boss Harry Redknapp insists his side will "never get a better chance" at a title push, adding: "Yes (it is a realistic aim). There is no point me looking anywhere else. The sky is the limit. 

"We finished fourth last year and Tottenham will never get a better chance." 

To do that, the Londoners would have to finish above Manchester City, the financial powerhouse tipped by many to upset the established order at the top of the league. 

The Eastlands club, backed by billionaire Arab owners, took their summer spending to over £100m on Friday by signing £24m Inter Milan striker Mario Balotelli, and that figure is likely to rise, with a deal for Aston Villa midfielder James Milner nearly done.

They are one of a number of clubs facing a balancing act in the coming campaign, following the introduction of new Premier League rules on squad limits and home-grown quotas.

Those rulings have had little impact, though, on Blackpool ahead of their Premier League bow, with Ian Holloway boasting just 15 senior players in his squad before making five signings on Wednesday and adding a sixth on Friday.

West Brom have been similarly active following their promotion, Baggies boss Roberto di Matteo bringing in five new players this summer, while the third of the Premier League new boys Newcastle have bolstered their squad with the likes of Sol Campbell, James Perch and Dan Gosling.

Also in action on Saturday are Aston Villa, currently managerless following Martin O'Neill's shock resignation earlier in the week, and West Ham, who will be led by Avram Grant following his summer appointment. 

Everton - also tipped to do well this season after their last campaign was hampered by a series of injuries - kick off away at Blackburn, Bolton host Mark Hughes's Fulham, and Steve Bruce goes up against one of his former sides when Sunderland host Birmingham. 

The BBC offers extensive coverage of the Premier League , and UK users will be able to see every goal on Match of the Day and Match of the Day 2. There will also be live commentaries on BBC Radio 5 live and live coverage on the BBC website.

The action begins at 1245 at White Hart Lane

Mike Walsh Talked About FUTURETAINMENT

A decade ago, the DVD was the one who extends the life and the inclusion of a wheel of the film industry in Hollywood. Whereas now, according to Mike Walsh, author of Futuretainment, turn the text in the 140 character format who underwent the same function as it once lived by the DVD.

Micro blogging service Twitter allows users to 'publisher' content users with their own thoughts in just a 140 character limit. In terms of the entertainment industry, these serives enable and facilitate the stars to continue to connect with fans.

Use of this social media platform can then accelerate gossip. Though gossip is the underlying force of life or death of the Hollywood entertainment industry. "Admit it, the most to make people come to the cinema and watch a movie that is the charm and persona of the actor or actrees, right?" Walsh said in Jakarta some time ago. By connecting directly to the fans, then that would make it easier for celebrities to keep their persona in public.

It's not just Twitter. Gossip blogs such as TMZ and Perez Hilton, according to Walsh, will still be far from exhausted.

Twitter, gossip blogs, and various other media social networks will continue to enlarge the scale of the entertainment industry. They will also have influence over the financial benefit to the industry.

Mike Walsh, a former journalist, came to Jakarta to meet with several pioneering businesses (start-up) internet users in Indonesia. he was gathering material for his second book, The Divergence.

Walsh is the core of the second book about the development of Internet in some countries the new economy. Indonesia according to him, including one of the countries and the cultural explosion of internet usage was growing rapidly.

Walsh's first book, Futuretainment, tried to give evidence on his thesis that there is a kind of social revolution in progress, which will change the business model of media in various parts of the world. Including changing the ways of marketing a product.

Twitter's popularity in Indonesia has been frequently proven by how often the words of Indonesia origin Tweeps donation results are in line Trending topic. starting from the watch talent show on television. Anyway, once a Blackberry or mobile phone keys come into play, it is definitely there Trending topic from Indonesia.

According to walsh, 'playing games' are the charecteristics of internet users from the new economy states. Surfing habits that distinguish the new economy countries (Brazil, India, China, Indonesia, and Mexico) as well as western countries is the choice of fields.

Walsh describe "Internet of the West and the rest". Surfing habits in the west, he says, originated from the need for information, economic transactions, and news search. While in the countries of this new economy, people's first plunge into Internet-oriented entertainment or, specifically, online games.

Brazil for example, focused on finding information about television shows and online games. Similarly in Korea, Taiwan, or Hongkong. Online games become the main reason people connect to the Internet.

While in India, four major Internet content is astrology, bollywood, sports cricket, and application related to religion. In Indonesia, Facebook is becoming the main attraction.

Based on records, there were 25 milion people are connected to Facebook. Through this friendship site, formed a network audience. Through networking, everyone is free to determine their own news agenda and become a 'publisher' for the news they deem important.

If previously people think citizen journalism is the ordinary people who then run the function of journalism, according to Walsh, it was not like that. What happens now is a citizen of distribution. Not only conventional media disseminate news, but everyone can spread the news content.

And not within the definition of 'news' as we known before. Information about the congestion at one point, a comment about the actions of a celebrity, or a personal recommendation for good food in a restaurant, now part of the news disseminated each person.

Even so, this is not the end of the conventional media institutions. walsh predicts there are some big names printed media (he mention the example of The Economist and Financial Time) that is able to to survive. But the media business model that will continue in the future is the emergence of alternatives to the local media the better. At least this is the end for the media conglomerate.

Then the information is closely related to location (location-based) will be the key to 'control' the Internet. Especially if the market being targeted is very focused on the use of the Internet though mobile access. And this apparently is happening in Indonesia.
