    Well we're the favourites, but anything can happen.

    I think we'll win it , it'll obviously be tough, it always is, but I can't see many teams who would be a serious challenge to us.

    I think we will have no idea until November at the earliest.

    Our squad is full of championship quality players that's about as much as we know.

    I expect us to be one of the top two. Anything less and it's a disaster.

    Why mate we have nothing to go on at all.

    I won't make my prediction until I've seen two or 3 games

    No you're wrong Pantsy. Have to wait 10 games before judging. That's what Schteevie said!

    It will be very tough and we have to hit the ground running, We have to win our first 2/3 games IMO. I think we have enough to make the top 6 and probably the top 2. But time will tell.

    We have some good players and some bang average ones. But so do the others.

    Fingers crossed.

    Got the tougher games in September, if we are in the top 3 by the full time against Norwich on 28th September then I would be confident of us winning the league, but can see us having a stupid defeat at somewhere like a Burton or a Rotherham.

    Can't see us beating Fulham away it's a small pitch, in London and they'll be up for it big time.

    I think a draw might be difficult

    Rafa will know this will be a challenging season and won't be underestimating other clubs from the start. He's steadily putting together a decent squad, and there's every reason to feel positive.

    I think we have a chance but I'm still aware we could totally implode with so many changes

    The fact we've got a lot of the new signings in at pretty much the start of preseason gives them the best possible chance to get an understanding of each other. I think this next season will be as fun as the last one in the Champ was, barring some really unfortunate injuries.

    Exactly! Let them worry about us. Hopefully.

    Apart from Townsend, we're getting rid of the spineless and recruiting players with heart. Onwards and upwards. HTL.
