Seems fair enough.

Expectations that Vydra may get a chance to play and score goals is a bit optimistic!

Can't take that piece seriously.

I know Everton fans are deluded, but their fan says they'll finish 4th, with liverpool relegated in 18th...

Stopped reading after that.

May aswell be reading a preview from the local school kids...

Only a couple think Burnley will be relegated.
Most think it will be either Norwich, Sheff Utd, Brighton or Newcastle...with a few for Villa and Palace too.

Man City and Leicester are deluded but not quite as deluded as Brighton. How they finished last season they should be happy with 17th, never mind tenth. Don’t see Brighton as finishing top half....

You can get 40/1 on us finishing best of the rest, without the big 6. Will be having some of that and the sixes or sevens on us finishing top half attached to some small accumulators for sure.

Only part of that I could disagree with is first sacking, Norwich are more loyal than that.
Regarding us it’s spot on.

I see pretty much all the (match going) fans are against VAR.

Out of interest is there a link anywhere to his predictions for last season. A year is a long time in football and on a messageboard and would be interesting to see what our views were of last season compared to what happened

Written at a time when Vydra was still getting his minutes in pre-season, i.e. prior to the two home friendlies. I think my opinion on that might have changed now.

You honestly think we've got a chance of finishing 7th again? Ahead of Leicester, Everton, Wolves and West Ham? What are you basing it on apart from blind faith?

Not a single tip for Fulham to be relegated on those 10 reviews!

No, because they’d spent over £100m in the transfer window and as everyone knows spending money guarantees success.
