I'm wondering... maybe Newcastle's luck will be out this time and it won't be like their last promotion. And Aston Villa is in a state. So, even though they're big spenders they may not deliver... kind of like us before!
I think Newcastle might well get 100+ points this season,their squad looks ridiculous for this league ! But as you say,you never know.
Back to the OP, I think this will be a highly competitive, quality season. If we finish 10th we'll be moving in the right direction.
If the performance of the "best" side in the Chamionship last night is anything to go by - NO! What Sky describe as big clubs being plentiful does not mean the standard is better.
