Good back to being under the rader. Screw the pudits, Yes I think it will be tough, but no tougher than it has been for the last two seasons.
I heard on talksport this morning, one of the pudits predicting Watford could break into the top 4, one massive signing seems to be all it takes, on the hole most pundits are very bad and just follow eachover like sheep.
Everyone is praising Villa, however Sheff United and Norwich have gone for the evolution not a mass overhall which has always worked better when getting promoted from the championship.

Based on a few pre season friendlies? It needs at least 5 games before we start judging one way or the other.
ML hasn't said anything bad at all, this is pretty measured stuff. I think you're trying too hard to be offended.

That’s a tad harsh. He clearly HAS based his piece on games where Potter has been in charge. He does base his view on the post “oh Chrissy Chrissy” Albion reality and has even taken the time to watch a couple of games.
When he translates that to his ACTUAL prediction we should be OK. The keyboard keys seem stuck on “nil” when it comes to our scoresheet but hey...we can’t expect miracles.
In fairness, tipping Southampton to go down is even more daft than tipping us!
It won't be egg, it'll be the sun as they spend but a drop of their excessive salaries on a holiday, blissfully unaware of just how crap at they've been at their job.
He didn't suggest Graham would play the same way as Chris. He said "I do think we will see a different approach from the one we saw from the Seagulls when Chris Hughton was in charge last season."
Le Tiss reckons we will finish 16th:

Shock horror never had Liverpool to lose. I’m surprised people have them winning the league this year. Especially as they go off to Qatar for club World Cup. Especially as they’ve lost some players.

and for 37 out of 38 of the games last season. He was right.
But the fans vote that we'll finish bottom.

My point made, 2 zip my arse. As someone else said on this as if Potter would come in and NOT implement what he has developed.

It takes real football nous to spot when a team is going to have a breakout season. Nobody predicted the rise of Burnley or that Leicester would contend and them win the title. Nobody predicted Wolves would get into Europe and reach a cup semi final either, although many thought they might finish top half.

Oh well some of us here must have some real football nous! But seriously it doesn't take a genius to realise that the team we saw last season were going to change, a bit of wikipedia, and a few short highlight youtubes would tell you that. Weare not talking about aa "breakout season" rather staying up because we deserve it.

Its all the same people saying we were mad to sack CH that are now also saying 'they were terrible last season so will be terrible this season'..... What , so we shouldnt have sacked a manager that had such a terrible finish to the season?! Their predictions are all just so contradictory & uninformed. We may get relegated this season or we may not, who knows, but some insightful journalism either way seems impossible from this lot.
