Bless you Lep counting down the days!
:P I cant wait for the Swansea v Cardiff games! For a few years now all 3 welsh clubs have been in different leagues so now to have 2 in the same league is good! Im interested to see how Roberto Martinez will do as well. This guy turned Swansea around and has done a super for job for them with having no managerial experience either, hes just done really well and i hope it'll continue for them in this leauge. Also i wonder how Forest will do, it'll interesting to see if they'll be able to stay up in the leauge and I wonder how Southampton will bounce back from such an awful season for them. Very lucky to stay up and so i wonder if they'll have another poor season as it was a shock to see them so close to relegation. |

Exactly, there are so many teams who you'll be thinking "hmmm, I wonder how they will do" I guarantee nobody said Southampton, Sheffield Wednesday and Coventry would leave it until the last day to survive, nor that Stoke city would go up, and Bristol city would survive, let alone get to the play off finals. Yeah, Southampton went from Play-offs, to relegation battle :huh: Same happened with PNE for the first half of the season. So, who do you think will get promoted?(Or want to, I dont think you can predict much :lol:) I want Birmingham, Wolves and Watford(I really like Watford for some reason, I think I felt for them a bit in the 06/07 season and I like Aidy Boothroyd B) ) |

Cardiff or Swansea to go up! Oh come on...i've got to stay welsh and cheer for my fellow welshies!
:P Prefer Cardiff more though so rather them go up and just hope Swansea dont go straight back down. Wolves ive liked and it was a shame for them not to get in the play offs, just missing out on it. and as long as Palace, Watford, and PNE dont go up or anywhere near the Play offs next season i'll be happy. If Bristol City dont go up i'd like them to have another go at the play offs to try and get up but i cant help but feel its a one hit wonder this season for them. If they dont win the final then next season they'll proabbly be fighting relegation. Apart from that though i dont know. Now that Stoke and WBA have already gone up ive always had a keen eye on these two and now theyve gone theyve sort of left this league with no one for me to cheer on. So i guess it'll have to be just cheer on the Welsh clubs. The rest i dont mind. And if Bristol City go up that really does leave me with the two welsh clubs. |

I like Wolves too, I hope they go up. They were a bit unlucky not to get into the play-offs this year Imagine that, the possibility of Birmingham, Villa, West Brom, Wolves, Stoke, Derby and Coventry in the premiership :huh: Not that, that is likely! :lol: haha, thanks Kem! I was a bit bored, and thought it would make the thread brighter and more cheerful!! Why is it that you don't like Palace, Watford or PNE, Vik? I don't think Bristol City will go up, they will be like Derby who went up a few seasons before they were ready/wanted to, I think 2/3 of the promoted teams will come back down. |

yeah, probably. Hopefully though Fulham will stay clear of it! They were lucky to get away with it this season and you get away with it one season doesnt mean you'll get away with it next season..just look at wrexham :ph43r: Last season stayed up on the last day this season we fecked it all up. I hope Fulham dont do the same. If Bristol City went up i could see them probably coming back down. There a small squad and not really the team to attract known names to help them. If that makes sense. Like for instant although in the end you didnt stay up you were able to bring de Ridder to the squad - although hes not played much hes quite a known name. Then you were able to bring Mcfadden too whereas Bristol City wouldn't be able to be a club to attract these players to help them. WBA are capable of doing that, bring in players that people already know and not just some random shitties. There a bigger club. I hope they'll do quite well and finish mid-table. Why i dont like these clubs... Palace - They bore me! There football is not the best, and i never liked them because i didnt like Iain Dowie. Even though hes gone though i still dont like them. There just a team i cant watch. Watford - When they were in the prem i didnt like watching them. I dont know, just one of them teams i dont seem to like. And well you mentioned above that you like Aidy Boothroyd i actually dont! PNE - they have Neil Mellor whos a prick :ph43r: thats enough to put me off them! Plus they have Chaplow...another guy who i cannot stand and so glad WBA got rid of him. And when Nugent was there..i never liked him. Infact the only guy i like in that squad is Sean St Ledger as for the rest i dont really like them |

You don't like us, Watford??
:( I can't wait for the new season, It's been a very strange season! At first, it looked like we were going to run away with the league and then we kept losing and drawing, and then we only just made the play-offs! Hopefully we'll do better next season :) I am very excited for it anyway! :D |

Ergh Leeds are crawling their way back up! I can see QPR coming up and Birmingham. Watford pretty local to be so don't mind seeing them come up. I think Derby could could struggle next season. |

Why does everybody hate Leeds?
:( I really like them! I've never met a bad Leeds fan either, and trust me I've met quite a few, so no they aren't all racist scum! :rolleyes: Come on you Blues B) Hopefully we will do the same as last season, but less of the blip in October/November, and maybe get some credit this season!!! <_< |

Yeah, I don't like Bates...but to be fair, it's not right to generalise a set of fans on a stereotype or minority of them. I supose I can sympathise with them, being a scum of the earth Zulu and all. We can be lowlifes together!! |

Every team you get though theres some who are absolute tw@ts and others are completely fine. Like at Wrexham theres a whole bunch of chavs who sit towards the away end but then you have the lovely bunch of fans who sit in the middle :rolleyes: Mainly they are all the oldies..its where I sit too
:P haha I feel sorry for what leeds have gone through with the whole point deduction thing cos i only know too well what it feels like having points taken off you and if they kept the points they would have been up and so i know how frustrating that must feel. So if they go up via the play offs i feel they'll deserve it. |
