Teams we'll finish above next season

[olaftab]

Manchester teams and London teams and any other team from north west.

I’d take finishing 17th for an FA Cup win

Not for me. We have to be seen to be progressing up the league table with the amount of investment the owners have put in. It goes without saying that winning a domestic trophy would be absolutely amazing. Its been far too long for a club of our stature. 25 years and counting.

been supporting Villa for over 40 years now. Just win the FA cup and I can die happy

What he said.

[Brazilian Villain]

We're 40/1 to finish top 4. That seems fair enough but some of the other prices make less sense.

Wolves 30/1
Soton 25/1
Brighton 17/1
Everton 11/1
Arsenal 10/3

Jammy bastards, all I've seen is 2 League Cups and an Inter Two Bob

[Dante Lavelli]

1. Top three are pretty lock in:  Man City / Man. U / Chelsea /
2. Race for Europe:  Spurs / Liverpool / Leicester
3. Top half:  West Ham / Leeds / Arsenal

I’d guess we will finish a solid 8th having flirted with Europe, even fourth, for a bit.

I have changed my mind.  I fear Smith will feel obliged to play ALL the attacking players he has signed as a result we lose the midfield battle.  I am worried unless we strengthen the middle of the park or Smith is brave enough to put Ings/Watkins on the bench so we can play three in midfield.

Revised to 11th place.

Would love to know the logic of how Saints are 25/1! Ended last season horribly, selling Ings and probably a few others, not made any major first team signings and Hassenhuttl probably struggle to last the season. Will be one of those seasons where they're floating around bottom 6 for whole year.

Looks like there's an xG fanboy doing the odds with Brighton 17/1 aswell.

We lost HWSNBN and don't have a continental coach. Brighton, I can't explain.

Brighton at 17s?

The next few years, with the trajectory we’re on, your going to see us win the bloody lot, League, FA Cup, Champions League, Wimbledon, the Grand National, the Tour de France, Miss World. BELIEVE.

[Big Ming]

We should be competing for 5th or 6th place.
At least if we don't make it this season we will not be having to worry about losing 'he who shall not be named'. Emi Martinez will probably be getting restless if we don't progress.

[Brazilian Villain]

Brighton at 17s?

Yes with Paddy Power.

Possibly and yet Deano is favourite to be the next England manager @ 5/1.

Bookies odds are not based on probability.  They are what the market dictates.  If enough fools want to back Brighton their odds shorten.  The odds do not have any bearing whatsoever on playing performance outcomes.  Or as the old horse racing saying puts it 'the horse does not know what price he is'.
