Tenth.
I’ll stick stingy nettles up my arse if we finish tenth.

Maybe 11th, maybe 9th, but I'd get plenty of Calomine in.
I'm not suffering some euphoric reaction to today's game - I've said this all along and it's panning out pretty much according to plan. I know exactly what we can do and what we can't , and so does Sir Neil. You're going to have ups and downs and we've had a lot of downs recently, but it'll average out and if you compare all the factors you can expect about tenth ,whether you can see that at the moment or not.

That's my objective analysis and has been since day one, based on the sort of calculations I'd use to calculate a bet.
I know most people doubt it, but that's nothing new. I'm sure you'd like to think I'm right even if you don't think I am, but I've got a reasonable track record of ignoring "experts" and looking at the facts and probabilities objectively.
I had a bet on Donald Trump getting the GOP nomination when that was ridiculous according to the "experts" , but I won. I also had a double on a Brexit out vote and Donald Trump to be elected President. I tell you this not to be a smart arse but to offer you some encouragement that prospects might be better than you think

I never really like responses like that. You don't explain why you think it's nonsense but just make the statement as if it carries weight by its existence .
My point was that people talk on and on about the outcome of some future event and during this conversation they get involved in what they want to happen and what they fear might happen. They soon begin to insist upon their imagined outcome - good or bad - until this entirely imaginery "vision" of the future seems inevitable and assumes an equally imaginery weight or substance.
This strange effect can be seen in both the issues I mentioned, ( Brexit and Donald Trump) to the point that even when it's happened, many people are so confused between their collectively and mutually agreed prediction that they cannot accept the actual real outcome.
However, in trying to calculate the likely outcome of situations, you must filter out these emotional and aspirational "Chinese whispers" and consider the factors you know to exist with complete objectivity. This will frequently yield a very different and more accurate result than the one which in general circulation.
If the facts told me that Cardiff City could not settle into a mid table position by the end season, I'd say so. If something changes in the mean time,(which it could ), to alter that , then I shall say so. For example, if they did change the manager,
then that would be such a factor.
A few hammerings from big teams were no surprise to me because such initial humiliations are necessary stimulants to draw out the best in anyone who has moved into the big boys yard. Yes, it could also destroy weak men who are easily discouraged , but it's illogical to expect that reaction from these individuals who are proven to overcome difficulties and challenges.
In the end we shall see what happens and I can't foresee the future any more than anyone else but in one way or another I've got a very long history of turning difficult situations round by looking at them laterally, identifying my potential advantages however few and making them count in the end. I think that's what I recognise and love in Sir Neil actually and in my opinion he has enough rescources to hit his mark. In truth very few others would.
I shall invite your comments upon all this when we finish ( around) tenth.

Have you ever got a bet wrong? Like you I have predicted events right many times (e.g. we would finish 2nd last year ) but I have also predicted some howlers (Madine would be an excellent signing ).
Also your self assessment as having a 'reasonable track record' isn't really an overwhelming endorsement. All that said I really hope you're right

Interesting but I think you invited trouble with the topic heading. I've read a lot of your posts from day one and you're no idiot but this comes across as you being a condescending smart arse. Talking down to people never works even if you're valid or relevant.

talking like you used some sort of statistical analysis to come to your guess when its all just nonsense. not sure why your intent on making yourself seem cleverer than you are to a group of strangers on the internet.
if we finish 10th then fantastic. and well done for guessing correctly

Personally, I don't care if people or straight talking, I think on an internet forum its a good idea.
Great post based on logic, we have had a tough start and some pretty bad luck, if we had beaten Burnley and stats will tell you we should have, we would be thirteenth after playing five of the top six in the first nine games.
Based on our start and the way we are improving, I don't think you will a million miles away, and I am starting to think we can stay up.
Keep up the positive posts and don't let the negative moaners grind you down
