" THE UPCOMING SEASON - PREDICTIONS? "

We often do this before a new season, what are your predictions for the leagues this season in the following categories?

Premier League

Champions: Man Utd
Top Four: Man City, Chelsea, Tottenham
Relegated: Huddersfield, Brighton, Leicester

Championship

Promoted: Middlesbrough, Reading
Play-Offs: Fulham, Leeds, Cardiff, Aston Villa
Relegated: QPR, Burton, Bolton

League One

Promoted: Blackburn, Bradford
Play-Offs: MK Dons, Scunthorpe, Peterborough, Bury
Relegated: Oldham, Rochdale, Plymouth, Northampton

League Two

Promoted: Luton, Coventry, Carlisle
Play-Offs: Chesterfield, Swindon, Port Vale, Cambridge
Relegated: Yeovil, Newport

Only care about the Championship. Top six:

1) Middlesbrough
2) Aston Villa
3) Derby County
4) Sheffield Wednesday
5) Hull City
6) Fulham

Would love for Cardiff to get there but feel we need to spend some money to challenge for the play offs. Not a lot just some sensible investment on proven players.

Yes me as well, I have a horrible feeling that we will finish about 8th but only 3-4 points off play offs

Championship:

1. Aston Villa 2. Cardiff 3. Reading 4. Fulham 5. Norwich 6. Wolves

Premier League

1. Manchester United 2. Chelsea 3. Arsenal 4. Liverpool

Always post mine the day before the season kick of soo will do again next thursday did pretty well across the leagues last year too

My banker is Burton to go down. Said exactly the same last season, can't see them staying up this time.

Championship:

1. Aston Villa 2. Cardiff 3. Reading 4. Fulham 5. Norwich 6. Wolves

Premier League

1. Manchester United 2. Chelsea 3. Arsenal 4. Liverpool

I hope you are right could make for a amazing final day

Middlesbrough
CARDIFF

Aston Villa
Wolves
Fulham
Sunderland

I think I'm one of the few who believe Wolves will do well this season.

Far too early to predict.

Who would have had Brighton automatic and Huddersfield p/o winners last July?

Who would have had Bournemouth and Burnley automatic in recent seasons?

IMO City based on the squad as it is will do ok but not make the p/o's. My issues are

1. Not convinced with the keepers
2. We'll concede too many and won't score enough to compensate for the inevitable defensive slip up's
3. Too reliant on Zahore
4. Not enough goals in midfield
5. Not enough pace/creativity in central midfield

Looking forward to the season though much more than last season.

Right day before season starts so here are my annual prediction did very well last year getting most of the league winners correct.

Top 6 hopefully.

OK how did you do?

Well I looked this thread up because I predicted City would finish SECOND!!!!! although I didn't get much else right.

City Slicker also predicted City would finish 2nd well done

Steve Zodiack went all mystic meg a stuck his neck out by predicting Burton would be relegated, well done Steve

originalgrangeend Was the only one to predict Wolves would do well (which we will take as Championship winners) top man.

But my best prediction award goes to Pencoed who predicted "an amazing final day"

Awful predictions from me as usual.
