mind you, when you look at some of the players leicester have splashed out on, are they really that good? i'm not sure they are! they might be big names but is nugent gonna fire them to promotion? is schmeichel really that good? is konchesky even a footballer? i wouldn't be putting money on them going straight up, especially as they will just be a bunch of individuals thrown together by sven!
Carra I think i can safely repeat what has been said before from all ipswich fans is the reason we didn't mount a challenge is poor management. secondly you talk about your coaching staff, yes they did very well last year, but this season they are against the masters of ferguson, wenger to name but 2, so all your managers antics against reading won't have a bearing on games later on, Grunt's diving won't get the free kicks the same as last year, you can't base your season banking getting a 99th minute winner. Thats why you are doomed!
not the cheating again! i tell you what, for a team of cheaters we aren't half good to watch!! guru, you do realise we don't ONLY have to play man united, arsenal and chelsea don't you? there are other teams who aren't as good that we get to play!
Superman, it was a weak league last season, there is no doubt about it. JWM, see I can be adult and not revert to childish names. You just need to look at the squads from all the teams I've mentioned. They are without doubt stronger than you, and all but possibly Leeds have better manager's than you. Not a sweeping comment, but a comment made after comparing squads.
plums, i tried to predict the championship table at the weekend... it was nigh on impossible!! the team you place bottom has just as much chance of finishing top!! its a crazy league. i had leicester in 5th i think. i went for west ham to win it purely based on them having a decent manager! i'm not totally convinced they will be anywhere near the top. i had you in 12th by the way... ipswich are easy to predict cos you just put them straight in the middle somewhere
yep, thats why i put 'to name but 2'! which to non-twitter educated means i could have named more but didn't want to. Perhaps you could use twitter to name the rest, i'm sure souness is in charge of newcastle!
Carra don't get all touchy dear I was only having a laugh !! Just explain to us how all these teams have better managers and squads then us using factual in depth analysis on each team's players and management based on experience, achievements and accumen compared to our squad and PJ as a manager! Factoring in of course our recent signings and the fact that PJ will have had a proper pre season. Also considering the fact that PJ has taken 2 average teams to promotion from this league in the not too distant past! Or as I suspect are you basing this amazing analysis on last season! Following your logic then Norwich will finish 2nd in the Premiership next year!
not that anyone will be interested but here is what i went for... and i did you a disservice! i had you 11th!! 1 West Ham United 2 Nottingham Forest 3 Middlesbrough 4 Hull City 5 Leicester City 6 Brighton & Hove Albion 7 Birmingham City 8 Reading 9 Cardiff City 10 Leeds United 11 Ipswich Town 12 Blackpool 13 Millwall 14 Southampton 15 Burnley 16 Derby County 17 Crystal Palace 18 Portsmouth 19 Doncaster Rovers 20 Watford 21 Barnsley 22 Bristol City 23 Peterborough United 24 Coventry City
