Because you were so comfortable last year? Not predicting it with any pleasure, just the ability of Ashley to screw things up for you is too much. Not sure McLaren is much cop either. There are others I would rather see go down, but I think you are in danger.
I think that you're post-Pardew run will have influenced that.
At a guess most people are expecting McClaren to balls it up horribly.
... likewise buddy ... having finished top of the whole shebang form wise over the last seven games and only losing to Chelsea over the last 10 there is no logical reason that we shouldn't kick on this season having 'acclimatised' ... for the record I fancy us to finish no lower than we just did ... 14th ...
It's early days and I think the predictions are a result of little visible progress so far. As it stands I think most people would say your squad's a mess. Lots of average players and handful of talents that are inconsistent. I don't think you'll go down as you always just about put in enough runs of form to stay above the relegation zone but if you don't sign some quality goalscorers this window I think you'll be in real danger.
Any news on Matip, is the deal dead? He would be a great signing for anyone.
Anyway, I'd like to formally withdraw my prediction of Stoke to do well. They've sold N'Zonzi and Begovic and brought in Glen ****in' Johnson since I made my prediction
Feel free to add yours. Can't mock if you are too cowardly to make your own predictions?
We can all say "if the signings click" that's not a get out. So
