Yes and we came forth with a weaker squad than we have now.
You're probably right about where we will finish but if we happen to win these two up coming home games we will be nicely placed... despite missing ALOT of top players through injury and suspension and installing a new manager (who had no pre- season)
Edit: Why am I arguing with this goon?
The league is tougher this year, last year all 3 relegated teams were poor until Bolton got going at the end of the season but this year QPR and Reading look very strong and Wigan have started averagely but should improve once they get knocked out of Europe.
