Relegated: Wednesday, Stoke, Oxford

Champs = Ipswich
2nd = Southampton

PO = United, Coventry, Birmingham, Millwall

Relegate = Pigs, Oxford, Stoke

[YES Blade]

Fuck it! We’re going up as Champions!

 

[mattbianco1]

Jan Age - need your 2 relegated clubs in addition to Pigs

 

[mattbianco1]

Wrexham , they don’t have a single player that would get in our starting 11 but will finish above us, yeah ok.

Why is everyone so positive on Southampton by the way?

They were even worse than us last season, are about to sell their star player and haven't signed anyone particularly inspiring (yet!).

This side with these centrebacks isn’t a contender

Quick to judge others, but not to predict

They were even worse than us last season, are about to sell their star player and haven't signed anyone particularly inspiring (yet!).

And have a novice manager

Stoke! Have I missed something?

Quick to judge others, but not to predict

No judgement from mine - was just genuinely interested to see why people were so gung-ho for Southampton as I’d be very surprised to see them finish higher than 5th.

I was speaking to a mate yesterday though, who feels they’ll be top two and he said that its the spine of Harwood-Bellis, Fernandez and Archer that gave him faith in them - so I sort of get it now (even though I don’t agree as I think the rest of their team ranges from bang-average to poor).

As for my own predictions:
1st Ipswich
2nd Blades (if we get a good replacement for Anel)

Play-offs:
Birmingham
Coventry
Southampton
Derby

Relegation:
Stoke
Charlton
Wednesday
