My Five Completely Random Predictions For Next Season

[el punal]

No, not where we will finish in the league, or how many goals we will score, or how many points we accrue, or who will be champions at the end. This is all about an across the board selection of subjects that may or may not affect us, the fans, next season.

Ready for it? Here we go . . .

1. The first match of the new season at the Amex will be live on Sky.

2. The last league match of the season will be away to Newcastle, with a 12.30 kick off.

3. The team's new kit will not contain regular, conventional stripes. Think pin stripes similar to our Phoenix strip of 1983/84, or a big central vertical band down the middle of the shirt for sponsors name, think Ajax.

4. There will be a change of manager at Leeds within six weeks from the start of the season.

5. Benitez will take over as manager at Sunderland when Sam Allardyce is cherry picked to save yet another struggling Premier League club.

Anyway, there it is - a complete load of rubbish, but you never know!

 

[Tim Over Whelmed]

1. Mourinio will not be manager at United at the end of the season
2. The current red kit will be next season's away kit
3. Sheff Wed will be a massive club
4. Our first match will be Newcastle ... away!

[maltaseagull]

[Paul Reids Sock]

1) Hughton will not finish the season as manager
2) We will sign a few players we have never heard of that will be written off before they have played (only 1 will turn out to be awful and never play more than 15 minutes)
3) JFC will start the season as partner to Kayal and do a good job until an injury rules him out
4) Hemed will fail to score in the first 5 games and then be dropped indefinitely after a touchline bust up with Sammy and Gully
5) None of the above will come true

3. We will sneak into the playoffs on the last day of the season.
4. Uber will lose the licence to trade in Brighton, without taking a penny of revenue

3)Eddie Howe will give us Murray because he feels sorry for us and always had an affinity with Brighton fans
4)JFC will win player of the season
5) Man Utd will lend us Rashford for the season as he didn't get a game in the Euro's

 

[GT49er]

1).There will be numerous threads about players we should get in - Ashley Barnes, Sam Vokes, Glen Murray, Craig Conway, Craig Noone, Tommy Elphick, Steve Cook, Liam Bridcutt (well, perhaps not him!) - in fact just about anybody who has ever turned out in an Albion shirt in the past.
2). We will sign at least one player none of us have ever heard of.
3). We will lose at least one nailed on home banker - probably straight after a few good results.
4). After rational debate on NSC, one player will be nominated to be described as an absolute donkey no matter how he plays.
5). We will completely run out of left backs by the New Year and CH will be sacked for not taking notice of the warnings from NSC!

The following games will be on Tuesday nights, or on other, unhelpful days:

(1) Leeds (h)

3) A Championship side will get to the FA Cup Final

4) An as yet unknown and unsigned Albion player will be top scorer in the whole of England

[The Rattler]

1. England will build our hopes up before crashing out of the Euros in the Quarters on penalties

2. Albion will build our hopes up by being in the top six all season, then dropping into the play-offs on the last day.

3. Albion will build our hopes up again by destroying Norwich in both legs of the play-off semis, before losing to Huddersfield on penalties at Wembley.

4. Palace will build our hopes up by being sh!t until Christmas, losing every game, before storming back to stay up by winning their last 10 games.

5. Portsmouth will still be #twats.

 

[JC Footy Genius]

Number 3 is looking good- Evans has just been sacked

Damn I'd thought I would get one right .. was hoping for Number 2

 

[studio150]

1. AFC Wimbledon beat the franchise team home and away
2. QPR go into administration after having to pay a £50m FFP fine
3. There are moans and groans on NSC about the new home kit and the sponsors iron on logo
4. We remain the darlings of Sky and eclipse Newcastle, Villa, and Leeds with the most live games, which causes even greater moaning from NSC train travellers
5. We finally find that high scoring forward and score 105 league goals on the way to winning the championship

 

[Eeyore]

1) The summer will drag on as people ask 'When will we be SINGING someone ?" and bemoan that Derby County have just SINGNED someone we should have gone for.
2) After all the acres of entries on NSC, Albion start the season with five new players. Some praise the merits of people they have never heard of and others say it's not enough as we only paid £3.5m for our forward from Russia.
3) Albion start the season in mid-table and a 'Hughton Out' poll first appears on NSC in October to cries of 'Bellend' but other supportive comments
4) JCL's accuse the club of no ambition
5) A steady improvement sees the another play-off semi final with Sheffield Wednesday and it all gets silly again.

2. Aston Villa will enjoy their games with Bham city.

3. Newcastle United will not arse whip the championship.

4. Crystal Palace will be relegated.

[The Rattler]

Good point, well spotted. Top 2 all season...
