With rule changes 8 days before the start of the season, a side that are basically owned by another side in the league, a side being basically run by the state and many others just plain in a state, it's time to talk about who Zvezda are going to beat this time round...

It's that time of year again as our attention shifts from the Euros towards domestic matters. Can Celje repeat or are they in for a big challenge from Maribor? Can Olimpija barge their way into the big two? New money, new Mura?

All that and a heck of a lot more...

All bow down and recognise our Slovenian overlords...

Can the Golden Generation actually get some gold?

FourFourTwo described them as "most likely to be confused with Slovakia" but can Slovenia rise above the nonsense and make a bit of history?

The Manic Piksi Dream Boys make their way to Germany in a group against England, Denmark and Slovenia. But with an interesting squad selection, uninspiring form and fragility of many kinds, do they stand a chance?

Yes, I know, it's been a while. Last episode still had Hajduk in for the title at that point...

In the next ten days we've three Eternal derbies, a top two face off in Slovenia and a lot more besides...
