Not the way I read it. Poyet stated the aim the season and the duty was to attain 9th. That would be a success. Obviously he would want better, you would think but he did say 9th would be acceptable this season.

But betting on a palace win goes against every fibre in my being, plus, they're not exactly on a winning run, it would actually cost me going by their results so far this year.....
But palarse losing is not a bad thing......

Poyet has always said that the target is to improve on last season, 9th albeit small, is an improvement as is 1st to 8th... That does not mean he is aiming for 9th, he wouldn't have improved the squad so dramatically if he was.
No, the quote I put in my previous post is what Poyet said. The Argus article was headlined 'Poyet aims for top nine', at no point in that article is their a quote from Poyet mentioning a finishing league position other than, "inside the top ten".

I put £30 on at 22/1 and I'm thinking of putting on a bit more. Then will lay them if the odds shorten massively to get my stake back.

I had £20 on us to win the league at Corals this evening @ 16/1. I think this represents some value.... If we manage to take 3 points off Sheff Weds, Watford and Millwall ( and with all the competition for first team starts amongst all the squad I think we will ) the best price on the street, after these fixtures, will be no more than 6 or 7's. So have faith and make sure you have a sneaky fiver or tenner before KO Friday!?

Staring at the rude boys

But what odds on BHA going up & Palarse going down. That would be worth a punt surely!

The double is about 18/1 but you can't do it as it's a related contingency.
You'd need to request a price from a bookmaker, but they probably CBA to give you a quote.
My guess is it would be about 14/1.

Not seen such Bravery!
But this is how Gus likes to play it. He said the same 2 years ago when we went on to be champions.

CMS at 14/1 looked a good bet... Good article, where did it come from?
Really?

A good article, although I would settle for top 8.....enjoying the championship, some big games and we have realistic chances of winning every game, the step up to the prem is too much for us at the moment and I am enjoying the ride where we are.
Leeds won't, I agree. However, Forest could easily. Decent manager, plenty of money this season, and have bought well. Finishing above them will probably mean a play off place at worst, imo.
A couple of years ago, Blackpool fans were all dreading a relegation battle season once again, but no, they won the play offs.
So us, a team who a lot of people think we'll be flirting with the play offs is not unrealistic.
