What is it with the love in for the Snow Queens and Forest (Fact)? Forest showed their true colours by collapsing terribly and have started to lose key players and Derby have done feck all for a few years. I've seen Stoke predicted to finish high up too.... despite years of mediocrity now from their "stellar" squad. I'd be content with another shot at the playoffs whilst evolving our style and club ethos on bringing more youngsters through.
Don't think Stoke are a dark horse - maybe more greyish. They're quite fancied by some pundits to turn it on this season. If Karanka gets them organised early enough, then Brum would be mine.
