No concerns from me whatsoever :thumbup:

Vinny T lacks knowledge on the game but has been learning.. he wants us to stay up so he will provide a decent kitty for MM and will let him take charge of the players he wants.

Bellamy weren't a MM signing but I doubt MM would have said no to him.

I'm sure the squad we have in place for next season will. It'll be built to do so.

Do you have to play a team to get into the group stages first? Never understood.

If Man City beat Wigan in the FA cup final, we will enter at the final qualifying round. If Wigan win, we enter at the round before that. So either one round or two rounds to get into the group stage depending on the FA cup winner.

Yes I did say We would def go up and the Jacks go down, well we went up and yes I was wrong the Jacks stayed up and they rightly proved me wrong, but going by their last approx dozen games, their form is def relegation form.


So I will go this week to Top Cats bookies, Corals and bet on us staying up next season and the Jacks going down, worth a bet dont you all think?

Looks like 8/1 the odds :ayatollah: :ayatollah:

This season, I did only bet on City to win Championship, but next season will def bet on us and the Jacks, Great double. :malky: :malky:


Annis, if we take our last 12 games and their last 12 games, they are in fact quite similar. We have only gathered 3 more points than them with 15 points from 12 games and have of course faced championship opposition.

Swansea have got 12 points from their last 12 games. They have actually been particularly difficult playing Chelsea, Arsenal, Tottenham and Liverpool. But even if they carried on that form next season, they would still reach 38 points which will almost certainly have been enough to keep them up this year.

The fact is, no matter how each team have tailed off, the majority of the work was done early in the season which is why we find ourselves top and Swansea find themselves 9th with a major trophy.

It proves nothing of the sort. It just means that we'd built up a comfortable cushion beforehand.

If anything, it proves that you can't take your eye off the ball at all otherwise you won't get the result, as has happened to us.

Spot on Annis :ayatollah: - You put your money down on Cardiff and Won :ayatollah:

As for next season i spoke to the guys who put these odds up,and they said that they think the odds will go in -
Due to Cardiff bringing in new players and Swansea in the Europa League.
You can still get 9-4 on Cardiff to fininsh above the Jacks next season :ayatollah:

The jacks won't go down next year, not a chance unfortunately

Re: JACKS Well I got the main thing right & I reckon I will

Tue Apr 30, 2013 11:24 pm

Personally I feel it will be a lot harder premier next season.

The summer transfers will be the key to it all.

The top 6 this season will be the same next season.

Out of the mid table teams Liverpool will be on top of them and if Swansea don't get raped they should be ok.

Those avoiding relegation I can see being in another fight next season and my favourites to go down is Newcastle.

I believe one of the 3 coming up will survive.

There is no superstition, it's completely fabricated.

The winners in the past decade...

2003 Liverpool
2004 Middlesborough (relegated in 2009 some 5 years after winning the cup)
2005 Chelsea
2006 Man Utd
2007 Chelsea
2008 Tottenham
2009 Man Utd
2010 Man Utd
2011 Birmingham (relegated the season they won the cup)
2012 Liverpool
2013 Swansea City

So no club has had any major detrimental effects the season after winning the cup. Boro got relegated 5 years after winning the cup and Birmingham won it in their relegation year and they still remain there.

That just shows how little you know about us. There will be no ego's at our club next season. Malkys dossiers will see to that. Any big name player VT wants will need malky's approval first.

We are a proper team these days, not a group of individuals. That was what got us to the PL and that is what will hopefully keep us there.

Swansea will definatley go down next season. In fairness they have lasted longer than I thought they would but their luck has to run out sometime and that time is now.

Michael Laudrup will move on to the first other Premiership side who offers him a job and Chairman Huw has run out of rabbits to pull out of hats.

Further to that when you scruitinize their squad well frankly its crap. They have been lucky to play in a Premier League which is not as strong as it used to be and 5 years ago that squad wouldn't have beaten the record making Derby side that scored only 1 win and the lowest ever Premiership points total.

I can see the likes of Newcastle and Sunderland looking to pinch the few cherries that the JB's have and what is left is simply not good enough to keep them up.
