Bookies price for us to be Champions

[Razzoo]

Just checked with PPower and we are 11/2 to win the league. Seems a generous price to me. I am tempted to lump a fairly large amount on. Anybody back us at the start or pre-season? What price did you get?

 

[Icy Gull]

Can't help but think that we'll have to go some to finish ahead of Derby. The others I think we can feel more confident about finishing in front of.

 

[Prince Monolulu]

Next month, it goes without saying, will be pivotal. Derby and 'Boro along with some other tricky ones. My mojo is pretty good right now, we'll be ready for it.

Derby... Perennial bottlers. Arrogant, moronic fans as well.

 

[Jim Van Winkle]

If we can take 3 pts off either 'Boro or Derby or draw both games which at moment is not out of the realms of possibility then have a cheeky punt.

This really is a magical time to be an Albion fan. It is the stuff dreams and Football Manager are made of - resigning Bobby, unbeaten runs and signing a young Manchester United starlet on loan.

I got 40/1 at the start of the season.

 

[BUTTERBALL]

11-2 is generous given the position we are in and the squad we have. If we are still there after Christmas expect between 3'a and 7-2.

 

[Hampster Gull]

Not for me

 

[TSB]

We're far better than Boro. Did you see the bbc stats from their game yesterday?

Really? Who with. I was tracking a few bookies and it never got better than 33-1.

Championship's strongest squad though with some big time experience brought in to bolster the bottllers of the last two seasons

We at blueribandbet are still happy to offer 13/2 and at industry best terms of 1/4 Odds first 3 places.

However, as I approach my 40th year supporting the Albion, paying out would be our pleasure!!!!

Bit harsh on the 2013/14 version! We just didn't win the playoff final, sh*t happens!!! Last season, in most opinions, was down the Schteve's head being turned, we certainly never hit the heights of the previous season though, while we got to be top for a while the signs were always there. Once Schteve adopted a "we'll concede 4 but score 5" approach, the wheels had fallen off.

For what it's worth, I've never met any wanker Derby fans either

You outclassed us in that play off second leg, fair & square. Expected you to beat QPR but somehow you didn't. Still think you have a very strong squad now.

Interesting to see how it all pans out. Hopefully we've put ourselves in a position now where people are taking us seriously rather than a side just on a good but short lived run of form. We played some breathtaking stuff v Blues. Football I've not seen from us since Poyet's side went into the play offs on a great final run (& look where that got us ).

I'd want to echo Edna's comments. You beat us four times that season, and got beaten by Zamora in the final. I also remember a massacre at the Amex last season, a 0-2 massacre.
You're in an ominous run of form at the moment, which makes 12 Dec all the more exciting.

Amazed that you did so well with that PLUM in charge. A sign that it was a very good team and the squad has been improved. If we get any sort of result at your place then I'll start believing we can win the league.

Yeah, not sure where the earlier comment came from, I'm not sure we're an arrogant lot, the vast majority would happily acknowledge we've been largely crap for about 16 this millenium! We're nowhere near our potential fluidity right now, but definitely effective so yeah it will be interesting game - It's been a while since anyone turned up at the iPro to really 'take it to us' as they say, so it'll be interesting to see what happens - As ever, I will pass very little comment on here post a Derby v Brighton game

Yes, the wheel nuts were loosening when we played you at your place last season, and then fell off completely on around 92 mins the following Saturday haha.

When the moon is aligned with Jupiter, or something like that, Schteve is a great coach, when it's not, things fall apart. Oh, and he has a MAHOOSIVE ego.

Genuinely is isn't it? Feels like starting an FM game at the start of this season. At this point I'd be thinking "this is fun, but not very realistic..."
