what i meant is that its difficult to make an informed prediction when you don't know how each side will look in august. last season my championship predictions weren't too far out overall but i did get one ludicrously wrong - i said burnley would go down! its a bizarre division that's for sure, incredibly difficult to predict.

at this stage i would say cardiff look the strongest side to bounce straight back up, this is in spite of solskjaer rather than because of him.

at this time i'd say both city and fulham would miss the play offs completely but that may well change by august.

Don't worry Supers, we'll have a re-run in August once the wheels have been in motion. I for one am going to be watching the Southampton scenario closely. A lot of damage could be done this summer (potentially).

I know you did mate, I was just being a bit facetious.

Just ignore me, I'm having a **** day <ok>
 
Pretty similar set of predictions there fella, though knowing my form for this sort of thing we're probably both entirely wrong!

Remarkably so! I decided to predict without scrolling through the thread first so I didn't end up copying someone else's, that went well! <laugh>
 
I reckon Cardiff and Wigan will be fighting it out all the way for the top 2, You guys will be a bit like wigan this year and come on strong after new year to gain a playoff place with Fulham, Forest and possibly ourselves or Blackburn.

Reading are the side this year that could shock for all the wrong reasons and struggle, apparently the owner has put them up for sale for a quid, so that says to me he won't be investing a lot in transfers and wages and being 30mill in debt could hamper them.

But as others have said, its a weird league and anything could and most probably will happen.
 
I disagree Guru I think Cardiff will implode!

My picks for what they're worth!

Prem Champions Liverpool
Prem Relegations Burnley, Leicester, West Brom

Championship Winners Wigan
Runners Up Norwich
Play offs Ipswich, Forest, Blackburn, Derby
Relegated Rotherham, Charlton, Birmingham
 
can i ask why all the binners think we'll be near the top yet are so delighted that adams has been placed in charge?

your predictions all contradict what you've said previously

basically because if you keep the squad all together a numpty like whotun would get you near the top, a lot depends on players that leave and who you get in. Adams might be a great coach, but does he attract new players to your club?

Its very early to be making predictions and we can only go on what we have right now.

I really do not have a lot of ideas to give detailed answers but I will be surprised if

a) Liverpool end up Champions

b) Liverpool finish in the top 4 IF Arsenal spend big

c) Spurs finish in the top 6

d) Southampton don't lose several players and end up struggling near the bottom

e) The Binners end up in the top six

f) We finish in the top six or the bottom 8.

:grin:

It's alright Supers, I had Leicester in about 14th...

For next year, I genuinely think Norwich could finish anywhere but I'll go with:

PL Champions: Chelsea
Relegation: Hull, Villa, QPR
Championship Autos: Derby, Blackburn (there's always a team that comes from nowhere!)
Play-offs: Wolves, Ipswich, Cardiff, Norwich
Relegated: Charlton, Rotherham, Birmingham

PL Champions: Man City
Relegation: Burnley, Hull, Swansea
Championship Autos: Wigan, Fulham
Play-offs: Derby, Reading, Forest, Blackburn
Relegated: Brentford, Rotherham, Millwall

I'd have Cardiff alot higher but I think OGS is as clueless as he looks and sounds. If we'd of had Mackay I would have put us as No 1 and not been lying to myself. Swansea, like us are asking for trouble.
