Might be worth blowing a tenner on...

Bottom half finish @11/4 looks very good value. Before anyone gets outraged at the suggestion, 11th is bottom half. If we struggle to adjust to life without Alexis and (potentially) Moises, even for a month or two, or if playing all the European games stretches the squad too far, then 11-14th is really not all that unlikely.

11th place, a good cup run, and knock out stages of the Europa League, would represent a pretty good season, wouldn’t it?

I agree, and think it’s actually the most likely scenario. We haven’t been able to manage two games in a week well very often this season, and while we may have reinforcements next season, we’ll also potentially lose 3 important players (Max, Moises and Levi). I also agree what you describe would be a decent season. Hopefully we haven’t become too entitled…

Agreed. Not suggesting that we're most likely to finish bottom half, but nearly 3/1 is good.

Your balls are not big enough Hansy. We want Dublin, 7th place in the Premier League and win the Kangeroo cup.

It would to any rational evaluation

I agree.

Competitors Spurs, Chelsea, Brentford, Fulham will have little travelling and usually a week’s prep for PL games.

If we achieve top half and a long EL run, that’ll be a great season.

Not worth a new thread as it's tenuous but rumours of Mbappe to Liverpool. If it happens will they be challenging City for the title??

Yes no doubt about it, he’s probably the best player in the world right now

Better than the goal machine at City?

 

[southstandandy]

Fear for Wolves this season. Luton and Everton too.

Haaland is the best goal scorer by a mile, he’s a robot. But Mbappe a better all round player

 

[Eeyore]

West Ham's struggles are an interesting example. A victory in Europe but a struggle in the league.

Folk will need to be patient this year. I can't see us being in a relegation fight, but I think 10th-14th and a run in the Europa sounds about right. I'll re-visit my forecast in May.

 

[BBassic]

Thread has reminded me to put my two bets on for the year.

Top Goalscorer in the four leagues
Winner of each league

It never comes in but I gotta keep trying

While I think we'll finish in the top half, I think it's arguably a good strategy to bet against the Albion doing well. I've often (well, in the distant past, when I used to gamble) placed bets on the outcome I don't want from a game. If we were playing a rival in an important match, I'd have no qualms in sticking a tenner on Albion to lose. It's a win-win. Either Albion win the match (hooray!) or I have an unexpected £20 or whatever to drown my sorrows. I did that a good few times.

 

[Colonel Mustard]

Luton have to be relegated. I've never felt more certain about a side to go down. To bolster the Championship team that came up in 3rd place, they've bought just one or two journeymen. I don't normally like to tempt fate but honestly, I can see them getting an absolute pummeling at the Amex on Aug 12. Another Wolves or West Ham-style result, and very possibly even worse. I can see any/all of Joao Pedro, Adingra, Mitoma, Ferguson, Enciso, Gross, March (etc.) absolutely running rings around them.
