I would be well pleased if AFC Bournemouth wonderful achievements are rewarded by yet another good show and avoid the drop . . . and thump the Saints both home and away

Er... steady on there! I'd be pleased if Bournemouth were to do well, but there's only one real team in the South

Beware Mr Bob

There are now new "fruity" boys on the block

Claudio Ranieri announced as our new manager. I'm happy with that from the managers who were available although on the fans' forum there are a good many whose expectations are totally unrealistic. All the City players now on eBay looking for Linguaphone Parliamo Italiano courses!!!

I thought you might have a go, OBF?

[oldbluefox]

The season clashed with my cruising QB.
Hope you are well.

I think I will defer my predictions until a few weeks into the new season, however I will opt for Arsenal to win the FA cup, again, although Leicester with the most winless finals might just be a good outside bet to notch their first win.

Now, Mr Fox, was it ' Spaghetti Munchers ' you called t' Hornets when we engaged the services of a certain Mr Zola ?

[oldbluefox]

Worried about our match against you. Your team will be the only ones able to understand him!!

[RB1961]

Ok so the season is nearly upon us. My predictions are....

Arsenal
Q.P.R
Wigan
Luton.
Now I know the 1st one is a bit obvious but i can feel it in me water..

Ideally we will all have an exciting season..bring it on.

First game on Saturday!

At home to Sheffield United.

could win 4-0
could lose 0-4
It's The Gills

I have missed it though.
Roll on Saturday lunchtime
A couple in the pub before walking down to the ground, taking our seats, seeing the same old faces and talking the same old rubbish.

Don't you just love the football season.

For all of you who understand that life actually exists outside the Premier League, there is a new Football League Show on Saturday nights at 9.00pm.
Should be a bit better than the useless BBC one that it has replaced.(hopefully)
Worth taping to watch Sunday morning

Got my seasons bets made yesterday.

Huddersfield to win the Championship (handicap system with a +25 points start over Derby, the favourites). Nahki Wells to be top scorer at 28-1.

Also had a flutter on Town winning at Hull on Saturday....I know they won't but 4-1 was too good to miss

[Romig1]

If anyone is feeling VERY lucky....

William Hill are offering £50 million for a £2 stake.....

All the punter has to do is predict the finishing position of every Prem team!

Needless to say, I gave it a miss.

Looking forward to the new footy show Barney. I didn't mind BBC's...but it was just too darn late.

Wells isn't a bad shout Romig
I always rated him at Bradford

But The Terriers to win the Championship even with a handicap

That's everything I love about football

In my defence, I did only back them each-way!

[barney]

I've had a stupid punt on my team, even though I know there is more chance of the Pope landing on the moon.

I'm seriously hoping that we can nick into the playoffs but reality will hit home come 5 o'clock Saturday

A new Footy League show .... which channel is that on, please ?

Now us Hornets are in the Prem ... will I, won't I, that was the question and the answer is that I have for less than £400.

So .... what have I done ( Foxy excluded ) ?

Bought a season ticket which allows you to place a deck chair just outside Vicarage Rd turnstiles in order to listen to the crowd noise?

Keep your answers clean please!!!

The world and his wife seem to be tipping Leicester to finish bottom this season.

No one rates Ranieri apparantly or his signings.

Personally I think that West Ham will struggle

My bottom three are
West Ham
Leicester
Norwich
Sunderland may well be in the mix along with Villa
I reckon Bournemouth with just about have enough about them, as will Watford.

One thing for sure, it will go to the wire.
