I will probably give up on football if Bristol City, Preston, and Wigan all finish above us.

You have a God-given right to finish higher??? Still an arrogant prick I see...

No shame if we finish above you, given we've spent at least £6m more than you and potentially far more already this summer.

Preston only finished one point behind you last season as well, strange arrogance.

To be fair I'd be pretty surprised if those two and Birmingham finish above us.

We have only paid around a third of that on Tomasz Kuszczak, Michael Morrison, Maikel Keiftenbeld, Robert Tesche, Diego Fabbrini and Clayton Donaldson. All of whom, I am certain, would walk straight into your starting XI.

£20 to charity that Bristol City won’t finish above Birmingham. Deal?

Morrison, Tesche, Fabbrini and Donaldson definitely would not. Do some research on our side before you make blind comments like that.

fabbrini would walk in to pretty much every side in the league

 

[JJH]

Donaldson scored three more goals than Wilbraham last season, bless.

No he wouldn't, he's a lightweight bastard. There's not a chance he'd get into our side ahead of Tomlin, and I'm not being remotely biased at all in saying that.

Come off it, Fabbrini is quality. If you're going to judge a player purely based on weight then Tomlin is a really bad example...

He started seven times last season in a Birmingham side that from February onwards averaged less than a point a game. Touché re: Tomlin.

 

[Woodworm]

Whenever I have seen Fabbrini he has been one of the best players on the pitch. Although that hasn't been hard as half of them would have been Fulham players

Thought he looked good at Boro, but he was tripe when he came on against us for Brum, and hardly featured for them. I'm not disputing he's a good player, but as I said he wouldn't 'walk into our side'.

 

[El Guapo]

Donaldson has a Championship goals-per-game ratio of 1 in 3 and is arguably one of the better all-round strikers in the league (strong, quick, works the channels and difficult to play against). Kodjia and Donaldson playing together would be quite an effective pairing.

That would be because he was not fully fit. Not easy to get game-time when theirs a player of Jon Toral’s quality played in your position and hindered with injury. It may still only be pre-season but he has ran the show in each game he has featured in.

10 to the running of the forum?

After 1 point separated the two teams last season, it really would be a travesty if Preston finished above the titan that is Birmingham City.

If you analyze each word individually, you may find the word 'all' in there.

10 to the running of the forum?

Accepted, £10 going towards the running of 1FF.

£20 as well to charity if theirs anyone else who wants to take the same bet.

Don't see why not, the mid-table sides at this level are all a much of a muchness.

Think the quality of this league is quite poor outside of the top 6.

The bottom 6/7 were especially bad last season.....from Bristol City down to Bolton, Burnley gained 42 points out of a possible 42 (Goals for 39 Goals against 9).

 

[Walkley_Owl]

Don't think we will hit the heights of last season with a bit of solid strengthening across midfield, we need a couple of pacy wingers, a solid battling centre midfielder, a left back and a centre half.

Anybody who doesn't have us bottom needs a serious word with themselves.

You're far more boring as a pessimist.

 

[JJH]

Agreed, stay in character SERNWA, come on here and tell us you'll take the league by storm despite your squad being a bit naff.

Nah be patient, still plenty of the window left you'll get in some signings. Think you'll take a few people by surprise next season, you'll finish above us.
