Who will manage to go up with the mighty Cherries?

 

Bold Predictions

Winners: Reading

Play Off Dark Horses: Leeds

Relegation Surprise Package: Middlesbrough or Burnley.

Winners: reading
Runner-up: forest
Playoffs: Wigan beating Brighton in final
Relegation: all 3 promoted clubs

Winners: Reading
Runner-up: Watford
Playoffs: Forrest
Relegation: all 3 promoted clubs

I would be very surprised if Bournemouth came back down tbh, they have some good players and with some good dosh behind them, wouldn't rule out a top half finish for them next season.

Think Yeovil will find it hard going this season and i think they will be slighty out of there dept.

Yeovil strike the eye as a squad just not at the required level.

Could very easily see Birmingham dragged into a relegation dogfight.

Millwall could use a few signings.

Where do you think your clubs will finish? Also where will Ipswich finish?

Champions: QPR
Runners Up: Charlton
Play Off winners: Forest

Relegated: Yeovil, Bournemouth and Barnsley

 Brighton: No idea! Going to be very unpredictable, safe bet would be mid table.

Ipswich: Top half and maybe a play off finish, but the Championship is a very strong league.

Ipswich - 24th

Think Forest & Bolton could well be top 2.

Play offs
Leicester
Ipswich
Watford
Leeds(not in any order)

Bottom 3

Barnsley
Huddersfield
Yeovil.

Probably way off with some, but feck it.

Barnsley have made some impressive signings and there manager seems to be decent, i wouldn't actually put them as one of the relegation sides.

Id be surprised to see Yeovil stay up. Interested to see what happens with Lomas at Millwall, already been given some stick by their fans at a pre season game for being ex West Ham. 

Barnsley have made some good moves in the market so far. 

Yeovil, Sheff Weds, Millwall () for the drop
Wigan for the league

Bolton, Forest, Leicester, Leeds for playoffs

Barnsey are one of the favourites to go down. I'm no expert on the Championship but they always seem to struggle.

But the beauty of this league is anything can happen.

Watford to win the league for me. Some cracking signings

Champions : AFCB Eddies howes barmy ARMY!!!

Runners Up: Watford

POs: Wigan , QPR, Reading ,Brighton

Relagated : Yeovil, Donny, Millwall

bournemouth will go down when liverpool get champions league football, which aint anytime soon  

Bournemouth will start well then will sell Matt Ritchie to Ipswich and will then get relegated

442 season review is out on the 31st of July

In a shocker McCarthy is signing Berra again

Happy with that signing. Berra isn't the quickest defender though

 Agree mate.

I think Blackburn will have a steady campaign. I think a solid top 10 and potential play off push could be on the cards IF Bowyer is backed fully by the owners.

I'd also say Wigan are good contenders as it stands (depends if they lose McCarthy/McArthur etc)

2 problems with Wigan for me, defense and manager. They'll score plenty.

Yeah Wigan will do well i recon, however there Europa League campaign could well distract them from the league, like it did with Birmingham a couple of seasons ago, having said that, even they got a play off spot.

Yeah but the Brum had Super Chrissy Hughton in charge, Wigan only have Owen Coyle

Yeah they really don't need European football one bit. They'll probably exit at the group stage anyway.

Just like Liverpool  

Have to be in the group stage to exit it cherries

Kids!

Cherries still hasn't clicked on his name yet I see.  

Real Madrid squad for Bournemouth friendly today

Goalkeepers: Diego Lopez, Jesus and Tomas Mejias.
Defenders: Pepe, Coentrão, Carvajal, Nacho, Mateos and Casado.
Midfielders: Khedira, Kaka, Özil, Modric, Di María, Isco, Illarramendi, Casemiro, Cheryshev and Quini.
Forwards: Cristiano Ronaldo, Benzema, Higuain and Morata

QPR have agreed a fee with Wolves for Karl Henry.

How many red cards will he get this season?

Don't know anything about Henry except Barton was calling him something akin to a thug.

Pots n kettles?

Odd to think football will be back next week

Its so stupid IMO. Should start on the 10th. A week before the Prem, not bluddy 2 weeks before.

They play 8 more games than the PL, with an additional period of the playoffs. Lets not get silly.

More week night games, i love a freezing cold Tuesday night game in November!!!

The leagues always start a fortnight or so earlier in a World Cup year.

Common sense.
