Dalek2003 Posted 12 May, 2013 Posted 12 May, 2013 Hahahahaha !!!!! That was quick. I will reserve judgement until I see what strengthening we do over the summer !
ALWAYS_SFC Posted 12 May, 2013 Author Posted 12 May, 2013 Hahahahaha !!!!! That was quick. I will reserve judgement until I see what strengthening we do over the summer ! Come on "Mr Prediction".....no hiding...
SNSUN Posted 12 May, 2013 Posted 12 May, 2013 Hahahahaha !!!!! That was quick. I will reserve judgement until I see what strengthening we do over the summer ! THIS!!! But for now I'll say 13th.
Bearsy Posted 12 May, 2013 Posted 12 May, 2013 i don't wanna be too greedy, I just want us to get more points than we gotten this season. And continue doing that for the rest of all time!
Crazy Diamond Posted 12 May, 2013 Posted 12 May, 2013 I predict a struggle, similar to this season. If we're persisting with this style of football, then it's by no means a good thing. Some teams have found our style easy to play against - QPR, even at their shambolic worst, were able to beat us. I wouldn't call it 'second season syndrome' but teams have had six months to see us play and get used to what we do. Unless we invest a lot of money, I think we're going to be at risk. Sorry to p*ss on your bonfire and all that...
RobM Posted 12 May, 2013 Posted 12 May, 2013 10th, but a more comfortable 10th and safe well before the end of the season.
Crazy Diamond Posted 12 May, 2013 Posted 12 May, 2013 I should clarify, I don't think our style of play is a bad thing that has to change, and I'm not ruling out us doing better.
ludgershallsaint Posted 12 May, 2013 Posted 12 May, 2013 Looking at the table there is 5 points between 17th and 10th. That would suggest that it is all about who we and the other teams bring in over the summer.
Dalek2003 Posted 12 May, 2013 Posted 12 May, 2013 I should clarify, I don't think our style of play is a bad thing that has to change, and I'm not ruling out us doing better. What kind of view have you got from that fence of yours ?
Crazy Diamond Posted 12 May, 2013 Posted 12 May, 2013 What kind of view have you got from that fence of yours ? A good one of my massive house and your little shed.
SaintBobby Posted 12 May, 2013 Posted 12 May, 2013 I'd target points, not position. 50 points should be the target IMHO. I'm less bothered about a target position, that depends so much on other teams. 50 points could be 7th or 13th.
Whitey Grandad Posted 12 May, 2013 Posted 12 May, 2013 Good question. It depends on tightening up the defence. When you think about all the extra wins we could have had it makes talk of 8th place not unrealistic.
alpine_saint Posted 12 May, 2013 Posted 12 May, 2013 Absolutely hillarious predicting now. I'll wait to see what pre-season and transfers we get before predicting what happens next season.
SNSUN Posted 12 May, 2013 Posted 12 May, 2013 i don't wanna be too greedy, I just want us to get more points than we gotten this season. And continue doing that for the rest of all time! The voice of reason...is....a...bear! And I thought it was Owls that were supposed to be wise! ;-) I like this. Improvement every season please.
ALWAYS_SFC Posted 12 May, 2013 Author Posted 12 May, 2013 Absolutely hillarious predicting now. I'll wait to see what pre-season and transfers we get before predicting what happens next season. Just like your "hilarious" going down thread.... But i know you will moan regardless of what happens...you must get off on it...
Bearsy Posted 12 May, 2013 Posted 12 May, 2013 Absolutely hillarious predicting now. I'll wait to see what pre-season and transfers we get before predicting what happens next season. Agreed premature predictions is embarrassing!
SaintBobby Posted 12 May, 2013 Posted 12 May, 2013 Absolutely hillarious predicting now. I'll wait to see what pre-season and transfers we get before predicting what happens next season. I think you can rest assured that whatever your own predictions, they will be roundly ignored by any remotely intelligent person. You've been comically wrong over the last three seasons. That "We're going down" thread you started is comedy gold. Pure comedy gold.

You've been comically wrong over the last three seasons. That "We're going down" thread you started is comedy gold. Pure comedy gold. Yes, it was wrong. It was an emotional response to seeing us go behind, Toon winning and WBA rolling over against our position yet again. Doesnt hide the fact that making predictions now about the end of next season is plain stupid. The two things are not connected.

Doesn't hide the fact that making predictions now about the end of next season is plain stupid. The two things are not connected. It's been a bit of a pattern for you though, hasn't it? You also strongly tipped us to miss out on promotion from L1 and the NPC. A truly dismal record of predictions over several years, I'm sorry to say.

ottery st mary Posted 12 May, 2013 Posted 12 May, 2013 Absolutely hillarious predicting now. I'll wait to see what pre-season and transfers we get before predicting what happens next season. Alps....Why the fluuuck do you post if you don't want to join in the little bit of fun? We have no clue where we will finish next season... My guess is 8th/9th:smug:..more likely 12th/14th If no likeee ****ee offee;)
SaintBobby Posted 12 May, 2013 Posted 12 May, 2013 Isn't anyone still interested in our finishing position THIS season? It's about £800K a place, no? Given we can finish anywhere between 10th and 17th, there's over £5m at stake!
Saint Garrett Posted 12 May, 2013 Posted 12 May, 2013 Yes, it was wrong. It was an emotional response to seeing us go behind, Toon winning and WBA rolling over against our position yet again.

S-Clarke Posted 12 May, 2013 Posted 12 May, 2013 Personally, I'm looking at some of the sides that will be in the PL next year. Fulham Sunderland (should be ok) WBA West Ham Norwich Stoke I personally think that we have a real opportunity to overtake all of those sides this summer. We already have the basis of a good, young, squad. We have the financial clout to add to it even further. Those teams have aging squads, especially Fulham, who I think will be in a right mess next year. It will cost a fortune to upgrade all of those sides, and with the basis we already have, it won't cost us a great deal to overtake them. That would put us top 10, maybe 11th. Got to be happy with that.
Downthe36 Posted 12 May, 2013 Posted 12 May, 2013 Absolutely hillarious predicting now. I'll wait to see what pre-season and transfers we get before predicting what happens next season. Come off it, we could sign Messi, Ronaldo and Falcao and you would still have us down for 20th!
hypochondriac Posted 12 May, 2013 Posted 12 May, 2013 Yes, it was wrong. It was an emotional response to seeing us go behind, Toon winning and WBA rolling over against our position yet again. Doesnt hide the fact that making predictions now about the end of next season is plain stupid. The two things are not connected. You have done it during loads of games, many we go onto draw or win. It makes you look cretinous.
Downthe36 Posted 12 May, 2013 Posted 12 May, 2013 OK, I'll say 10th. I just spat some tea out! We're doomed, this is the equivalent of Lawro tipping us to win!
ottery st mary Posted 12 May, 2013 Posted 12 May, 2013 Just had the call from Uncle Nic and he states we will definitely be top four.... To be on the safe side ...I will put him down for Saints in 4th....
kpturner Posted 12 May, 2013 Posted 12 May, 2013 To be fair, if you are not actually at the match watching it unfold before your eyes, then daft knee-jerk thread starting is a possibility. In think Alps learned a lesson today - at least I hope do for his sake !
mulletsaint Posted 12 May, 2013 Posted 12 May, 2013 Agreed premature predictions is embarrassing! Priceless.
Dalek2003 Posted 12 May, 2013 Posted 12 May, 2013 A good one of my massive house and your little shed. OOh ! Touched a nerve.

I understand your emotions and your passions for our team. Alpine, you are one of the more colourful posters that brings a bit of spark to the sight. Long may you continue my friend !
RobM Posted 12 May, 2013 Posted 12 May, 2013 Absolutely hillarious predicting now. I'll wait to see what pre-season and transfers we get before predicting what happens next season. They guy who said with some certainty that we are relegated today (before the game had finished, with one game to play, on the day we secured our place) dares to criticise a speculative thread about next season. Awesome hypocrisy.

Got to be happy with that. If things stayed as they are now, we'd be competing against those teams for position next season, as we have done this season. But we have the luxury of money to spend on the team, which those teams (WHam aside, perhaps) won't be able to match. Therefore our success or otherwise compared to them will be determined by our transfers, which puts us in a really positive place.
