If this idea takes off and others want to contrubute perhaps its worth stickying?

Newcastle might be top but both their strikers are now suffering long term injuries, and apparently mad cnut Ashley has decided to tell Rafa he cant just choose transfer targets because Ashley eants to sign young players as money making opportunities. There appears to be some serious disharmoney brewing.

Brighton, what can you say.. Their luck has to break at some point and will have a blip and ince pressure comes we can expect them to buckle.

Reading. If we cant finish above Reading we dont deserve to go up. Stam is a tactical pygmy.....

There are no other promotion rivals!


Please update with news on rivals as we get towards seasons end.
Think a good summing up.
Brighton haven't had the bad luck/refs against them/bad injuries others particularly Newcastle have had/are having
And their seemingly non-stop magical penalties when they're needed have to end sometime
That said Brighton are where they deserve to be albeit getting help and assistance the other side of the spectrum from Newcastle
 
I can certainly see us replacing Brighton in 2nd place. Not so sure about knocking the barcodes out of the first place, but I can live with that. Even taking away the obvious bias, 2nd place for Leeds is very achievable. As for Brighton, I suspect they will die slowly this season & not be promoted via the play-offs. I've got this funny feeling about Fulham .... (and would love to see McContract's face if they do go up. As well as us, of course!).

well me personally think this (OP) is a great idea where we can all put our SENSIBLE thoughts and rumours. from me i think winall will win ****all with the wendies smacks of desperation when you consider how many forwards/goal scorers they have 8 at the last count. again for me would like brighton to go up with us of course and the rest well **** the rest would love to see the toon have another or more seasons down here.
 
anyone fancy Max back. Watford are set to bid for Bournemouth's 29-year-old winger Max Gradel. (The Sun)

Stewart Downing is set to sign for lufc. Contract terms and fee agreed. Just the medical pencilled in for 8.30am tomorrow.

Unsure about this, I definitely thought early December we needed another winger but now I'm not so sure. Roofe is now performing as is Doukara, Sacko is faster than the speed of light and we have Dallas waiting as a different style.

So if we were to get one I would like one with serious quality and I'm really not sure Downing fits that category.
