Depending on what happens in the transfer window, we could go down. Sell Cole (replace him with Babel who isn't a centre forward?!) and Parker and I think we are doomed.
Think most on here are going to be dissapointed, west brom will be below us imo, for those voting 12th and around there can you honestly name the teams you think we will finish above
Early days- but we might have to settle for Europa League.
The league will be between the usual top 3. Man City will finish 4th. Everton - top 5?
Spurs and Villa will disappoint their fans - Newcastle don't look bad.
Wolves will be ok.
Who's going down? Wigan, Blackpool and errrrrr........West....
All we need is a cross-bred version of Gabbidon and DaCosta (not the short one with no anticipation - but a giant who reads the game) to partner Upson.....
I voted 8th before we started , and predicted we would finish above Wigan,Wolves, West Brom, Blackpool, Birmingham, Bolton, Newcastle, Sunderland, Fulham , Stoke, Blackburn and Villa .
After 3 matches I see Fulham finishing above us from that lot .

We could have crushed Bolton, if we start to reproduce that with any regularity and marry it with some finishing then theres's every chance we'll beat the gloom to a decent finish, if we get a RB in.
I agree with Sicknote, although I have gone for 18th, but I could well revise this upwards, a bit later in the season, depending on a good run of form, encouraging results and a bad run of form for a few other teams. For now though, as I look ahead to our September and October fixtures, we could enter November on not too many points than we have now ! which will mean the sort of position few teams ever recover from. To avoid this, G&S will need to make many important decisions
15th for me and that will be cemented with a few weeks remaining so we can breath a hugh sigh of relief and plan for next seasons PL campaign. Onwards and upwards
