Might not be exact but I remember looking to put a bet on us for promotion and the odds were too short for my liking so I didn't bother, was 5/2 or 3/1 most places from what I remember and we're were 3rd/4th favourites.  Looking at current odds that's about right for those positions.

I keep telling you the Guardian is a shit rag! Also rans my arse.

Fake news.

[mr underhill]

it was a joke .

The Racing post football pullout published today says we were 7/1 joint favourites this time last year. I seem to remember there not being much between us, Boro & Fulham.

right and that was with a squad that had yet to see Snoddy and several others, plus Kodjia out for the season. It's not all doom and gloom. A few additions and we'll be there - or thereabouts.

I really don't see the point in Journo's writing these articles until the transfer window closes.  Villa grab three players of the right quality and the odds suddenly look worth a punt. Column inches to be filled on a quiet news day.

[Matt Collins]

From our best team last season, four key players right through the side  have left and not been replaced. And it could well be five including our best player.

So as things stand I wouldn't see us troubling the top two much

But remains to be seen who might come in

Wouldn't be surprised to see Snodgrass end up at Boro with Traore going to West Ham. A lot can change in the next week. Leeds and Sheff Utd seem to have made good signings. Stoke trying to do a Villa and buy promotion at the first attempt but have a fair amount of over the hill deadwood that they won't shift.

Why are Forest so fancied?

Why are Forest so fancied?

I think they have made some quality signings but generally speaking I have been confused as to why Forest and Leeds have suddenly become so hotly tipped for success. Time will tell.

Make no mistake skilzy, your words have been marked. Lamps could light up this division and you could well be awarded the Order of Nostradamus medal.

[Dave Cooper please]

Also rans my arse.

I recommend Immodium.

[Axl Rose]

We just need momentum. From the off, fucking go for it. Start well, lose under 6 games all season, and we won't be far off.

And then you woke up and realised Steve Bruce is still here and your dreams were shattered

Haha. Something along those lines.
