At least we now know what position we won't finish.
Sadly we also know palace are now safe.

Sadly the 442 predictions are notoriously crap. Palace are all set to achieve European football now.....
They should be really excited. Spending £18m on a CB who's never played above the Championship in Marc Guehi and potentially £12m on Kabak, who couldn't get into a Liverpool defence that had a massive aversion to clean sheets all season.

Everton would take that , some Bizarre signings already , I reckon 12th is certainly a realistic target for us to aim for this coming season .

How many times have FourFourTwo predicted our relegation?
must be 4 isn't it?
Edit: - Nope they were spectacularly wrong with Villa going down last season - had us 2 places clear of Palace.

To be fair, we spent £20m on Webster

Looks reasonable other than Leeds finishing above west ham, villa and us. I expect to see Leeds found out this season

Yeah, and while he was straight into the side it took him quite a while to look comfortable with the division.

Webster had played nearly 100 games in the Championship and had nearly 200 first team appearances to his name when we brought him. He wasn't some inexperienced kid, obviously he didn't have any Premier League experience, but he'd played a lot of first team football at all levels when we signed him.

The season preview is one of their biggest sellers of the season. But it has to go on sale a couple of weeks before season starts (normally a week before Football League and 2 weeks before EPL) .
And so print deadline for that is normally beginning of end June/beginning of July.
The predictions and written previews are nearly all done (i've done it a couple of times but the writers of the club previews don't do the league predictions) with not much idea of the summer transfers incomings/outgoings. So you're relying a bit on how the previous season has gone/ended.
Hence Palace - bottom - poor form 2nd half of last season and all done before Viera appointed, sense club in transition
Hence Brighton - 12th - good form 2nd half of last season, Potter reputation, sense club is on up.
When Saturday Comes is out soon. The writers there do the league previews (and they tot them up) .They were done about a month ago.

Yes, indeed. The annual Four-Four-Two 'How the table is extremely unlikely to end up' issue.
Yet it appears each year as some kind of prophetic tablet.

This!
plenty on here were concerned.
He was also playing alongside Dunk and Duffy?? so wasn't expected to do the heavy lifting on his own.
I think palace have Kouyate and Tompkins as likely partners for him at the moment.
Genuinely surprised they hadn't secured Cahill's services before signing Guehi as I think his experience would be invaluable in aiding Guehi's transition to the Prem.
Shh!!
That's true, although Webster had as least played nearly 200 games of League football at that point
