Re: We are going to finish 23rd
What a job, well done BulutOriginally posted by Carl Dale's Mole View PostAccording to FourFourTwo's big Season Preview edition.
Only QPR below us.
Leicester to win it.
They have Ipswich making the playoffs.
Swansea 14th and Bristol City 16th.
What do you think? Are we going to finish 23rd?

Re: We are going to finish 23rd
Some good calls here, llan, especially the last line. Well done.Originally posted by llan bluebird View PostBut this is about balancing a book rather than odds vs probability.
Unless you are daft enough to follow us you probably haven't been paying attention to Vinny drifting away and paying the second and third installment of the Nantes money, a proper manager turning up, and some decent championship players arriving and those not quite at that level leaving.
There'll be fivers and tenners from south Wales on us at fancy odds, but little elsewhere. 13/8 for Leicester to be promoted seems stingy to me when generally (the stattos on here will prove me wrong :)) at least one of the relegated teams blow up into a mini-crisis and death spiral. I think Southampton will be the team this year, they bought a lot of (too) young players last year who struggled in the premier league but with another year and an easier league will be decent IMO.
I think its going to be very tight top 10

Re: We are going to finish 23rd
At the time of posting it was absolutely correct. I wouldn't hold a comment like that against anyone.Originally posted by William Treseder View Postthough.
Absolutely. It's been fun this far. No expectations whatsoever, so whatever the side does beyond avoiding the drop, will be fantastic.
I noticed this little gem on page 5 by Eric the Half Bee.
However, I suggest expectation levels two months later when we win at Preston and are looking at the playoffs are not the same. Should, for example, Ipswich fans in the last few games of the season just be grateful for staying up or are their expectation levels very different from last August? The feeling of many fans from how we were doing after we beat Bristol City and how we've ended the season are very different, naturally so. If you're thinking you've got one over on me with this, think again.

Those were your words. Now you are back tracking. Pathetic! Grow a pair Eric.

Re: We are going to finish 23rd
Not back tracking in the slightest. You're trying to hold words I posted around 8 months ago against me for some reason. Not the first time recently you've tried to score points off me or have a sly dig. Didn't think you were that sad.Originally posted by William Treseder View Post“What ever the side does beyond avoiding the drop, will be fantastic”

Anyway, simple question - the majority of City fans were delighted with the start we made and were saying and posting similar things as I did at the same time. Should those comments be the only ones that matter at the end of this season or are opinions allowed to change depending on how well or otherwise the club does?
I recently posted about the 2006/07 season, where against the odds, we were top of the table and looking every bit like Championship champions after a few months, even though many would never have predicted that at the start of the season. When we finished 13th, many City fans were disappointed, their expectation levels having changed drastically since the start of the season. Is it wrong that should happen?
