Top 6 as above Agree with the next 5 but don't think it will be in that order. I'll go: West ham, Villa, Palace, Brighton, Leicester. Then Newcastle, Wolves, Southampton Brentford. Bottom 5 could be anything but I'll go: Leeds, Forest to scrape survival. Everton, Fulham, Bournemouth to make up the bottom 3.

NoelVilla Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 Would be boring with those 3 relegated. Hope the non-London Forest can stay up. Bournemouth is doomed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StanBalaban Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 If we finish 7th, that's the equivalent of us winning the league in modern football. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted July 25, 2022 Share Posted July 25, 2022 not sure what I am looking at, so we have a better chance of qualifying for the Champions League than getting relegated Considering we finished 26 points off Champions League last season and 10 points above relegation makes it harder to believe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you that giving us a 3x greater chance of Champions League than getting relegated should be a sense check; in reality, even if it was reversed that would still be too generous to us. 2% Champions League to 10% relegated would be a 5x difference the other way and more plausible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridiculous musings. We can get 7th with no more signings, another the level of Kamara and Carlos and I expect us to beat the top 6 a fair few times even if we don't finish above them.

maqroll Posted July 26, 2022 Author Share Posted July 26, 2022 It feels really good to look at that table. We are finally back where we belong, pestering the top teams and forcing a reckoning across English football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 We wont finish 7th of we have to rely on ings and watkins for goals. Id sell ings and get someone else in then we might have a chance 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We get a few injuries' (which we will) then we are back to the tired and tested crap we have in the squad. Watkins can't finish his dinner 50% of the time. Defense looks more solid with Carlos and Midfield looks better, but we are 2 injuries away from a crap midfield, if we have to rely on Watkins and Ings for goals then 7th is not happening. We need a new Striker! If an offer came in for Ings or Watkins then i would take it! Brighton wont finish 8th! I expect West Ham/Leicester, Newcastle (if they can carry that form from the 2nd half of last season ) and us to make the top 10. I dont think all the teams that came up will go down, Fulham i think will, they are a yo yo team! Everton i think will drop and it will be a toss up between Bournemouth and Leeds for the final place. Top 6 is set sadly - City to win the league at a canter, Liverpool 2nd, Spurs may push this season for 2nd! They have a pretty good Squad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted July 26, 2022 Share Posted July 26, 2022 Top half is very boring to predict these days so unless we have an outstanding season and get amongst them not really interested in it. My bold prediction is Forest AND Fulham will both stay up. Think Everton will do better than people predict and Leeds and Southampton will go down with Bournemouth who'll be comfortable 20th. Wolves also to be on fringes of relegation battle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
