Just tried searching for one of these but didn't have any luck. I'm sure there's been a few of them down the years on here. Can anybody resurrect one? Would be interesting to see the responses! Be great if we could have a mini archive of them.

2012-13 - Make the playoffs fbut lose in the semi to Watford.
2013-14 - Finish second behind Sunderland.
2014-15 finish 14th in the prem, Gus leaves for the Newcastle job.
2015-16 We push on to 10th under our new manager, Brendan Rogers (sacked at Liverpool end of 2014-15 season).
2016-17 10th again. The club have now consolodated themselves in the prem although the loss of Leo Ulloa to Newcastle is an upsetting one. New striker John Guidetti is the new star player with support from Gareth Barry who returns to his former club.
2017-18 - The clubs major summer coup of Danny Welbeck and veteren David Villa boost the strike force for a push towards Europe. Albion finish 6th

Just read that old thread. Fantastic to read how people thought it would go to what actually happened.

Some things never change though, to quote a bit of a post from Hans Kray.....

"Withdean Wanderer is unhappy with the STYLE of performances and is demanding the sacking of Frank Rijkaard. Complete Badger cannot believe Joe Hart got player of the year, and questions whether he is 'really better than Kuipers'?"

Nice to see Withdean Wanderer was always that pessimistic and its not just a Poyet thing, seems some people never change.

Here's another one! Do you think we will be in the prem or knocking on the door in the next 5-7 years - Page 2 Back then [MENTION=70]Easy 10[/MENTION] reckons it's 'complete fantasy' that we might be in the top-flight in the 2013/14 season. Funny how many people got the attendance figures wrong.

Both moved back to Big Board as requested. They are not long threads though so not too many predictions in them.
