We're not going to get relegated, the manager's too good for that to happen.

If you look at our squad, though, it is pretty skimpy and low on quality, I can understand why some people might tip us to struggle.

Savage is a prick, though, of that much I am sure.

The good thing is we've got players to come back from injury.  Plus I'm expecting one or two more additions before the end of the window.

What the Grauniad thinks:

Which is nothing as they don't mention us once but at least they don't think we'll go down.

No mention of us for the drop in the fourfourtwo predictions either.
Savage is a knob.

The FourFourTwo magazine predicts us finishing 10th.

The league is looking much stronger than recent years. The teams that have been promoted are better than the ones relegated. Teams that struggled last season have made noticeable improvements and teams who have new managers don't look as vulnerable. Of course the best teams have even got better and the title will be decided between 3 teams this season rather than 2 (still not very competitive though).

There just seems like the league this season has more quality in depth from top to bottom also the teams that have been promoted don't scream relegation fodder unlike in previous seasons with promoted teams.

This could be the strongest and closest season yet.

Anyone thinking of changing their prediction?
