The graph on the left is pretty impressive : )

Was a bit annoyed they did Arsenal before us, need to learn their alphabet

Yes, it'll be interesting to see who they have between 6th and 10th positions.

Nothing new but surprised to have us finishing 11th - surely they realise we are on the rise...........

I think the league is going to be even more competitive this time. It's hard to pick a top 4, it's hard to pick 8-12, it's hard to pick relegation. Honestly, I'd be delighted with 11th.

"On the rise" to where? The top 7 is done, leaving only 1 place to improve on last year with realistically 8 contenders for it. It's highly unlikely we will improve on last seasons position imo. I do think we'll get more points than last year though.

Agree, focus on points and don't get upset if finish below 9th is a realistic way of looking at things. Time for a cup run though

Now with added stony beaches:

Dunno why they think they finish below 'uddersfield.
