well bookies are in it to make money and the odds of City to win have crumbled to 50 /1 by sky other bookies vary ..lol this is up to 15 points lower and after signing tommo etc 12/1 to get promoted 6/1 to be relegated top 12 is 5/4 finish 24th 20/1 top 6 9/2 win playoffs 25/1 if you thought we would not be top 2 but get promoted you could bet at 25/1 to win playoff's ! £10 stake =£250 winnings
A lot of us are saying we'll be around mid-table and I think those odds are probably about right given the strength of the division this coming season.
Though new signings have made a part of me a bit giddy, my head is telling me not to expect any more than lower mid-table safety. The bookies not paying us much mind is exactly how I'd like it. Not as much pressure to succeed and means we can fly under the radar so to speak.
YEP put us down as relegation fodder i say,we are going to surprise this season,especially if Tammy arrives and we keep the side intact. Really looking forward to the coming season,the first time i have said that in a while,onwards and upwards.
To 'do a Leicester' you have to be half decent, but more importantly you need lots of other more favoured teams to all fail in the same season.
did they or was that the standard? this year could be a real run a way one or 4 teams fighting till the death ... with team 5 in the distance!
Well the likes of Chelsea, and Liverpool were certainly well below par and Man U and Man C were both inconsistent. Only Spurs and Arsenal offered any real threat.
second half of the season Leicester =42 points Man utd = 36 points Tottenham = 35 points Wham = 33 points Arsenal = 32 points Chelsea, Mancity, Lpool 30 points the biggest screw up was Arsenal last 5 seasons points top 5 teams 81 71 70 66 66 ===== 354 points draws =214 ,, LEICS WON BY 10 POINTS 87 79 75 70 64 ====== 375 .. draws = 186 ,, CHELSEA by 8 pts 86 84 82 79 72 ======= 403 draws = 156 ,, MAN C LPOOL, CHELSEA 89 78 75 73 72 ====== 387 draws = 216 ,, MAN UTD WON BY 11 POINTS 89 89 70 69 65 ===== 382 draws = 187 ,, MANC, MAN UTD only really tells part of the story as bottom 5 teams need adding in to aggregate, draws play a part also but does show last season aggregate top 5 were well below 380 average..
Think we'll be half way at absolute best unless : We get a RB. We get a Striker - 2 if Kodija leaves. And if Magnusson is as good as Baker.
