CI Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 If Houillier can get us into 9th, then I'm sure PL can too! In all fairness, staying up s good enough for me this season, but I'm going to push the boat out. 9th it is! My initial view was this but I think we may get fatigue and injuries etc GED had a bigger more experienced squad Oh and btw when GED went we were 16th, GMAc deserves credits for the leap up the league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaCas Posted December 21, 2012 Author Share Posted December 21, 2012 A lot depends on how the transfer window pans out of course, but given what you've seen so far where do you think we will finish this season? It might be interesting to come back and look at our predictions as the season progresses Try to plump for a single position rather than "somewhere between x and y" For myself I'm hoping for better but predicting an 11th place finish 8th - Daweii, Claret75 9th - AVFCforever1991, CrackpotForeigner, KJT123, StanBalaban 10th - Folski 11th - VillaCas, Maqroll, 8Pints, Philospher, MMFy, Rodders, BraveHeartVillian, Chappy, LockStockVilla 12th - Adz.Villa, DieHardVillian, Mantis, VillaKevBromsgrove, Raver50032. Paddywhack 13th - KJParton, Lexicon, TrentVilla, Brumerican, Ghost, David-Copenhagen 14th - Samjp26, PB, Stevo985, Tayls, CI 15th - Jimzk5, Woody1000, LondonLax, AVFCtheObsession, Milfner, KHV 16th - Jim, SNE 17th - ---------------------------------------------------------- 18th - 19th - 20th - PieFace Where people have given a range as a prediction, I've taken a middle position, erring on the side of optimism - if anyone is unhappy let me know True to form, a few people (take a wild guess who!!) like to remain mysterious and enigmatic with their predictions but I will add them if they are able to be a little more specific 11th place is still where the smart money is lol Current odds have us - 1/10 to finish in the bottom half - 5/1 to finish in the top half - 9/1 to finish in the top eight - 1/8 to stay up - 5/1 to go down Although I've plumped for 11th I'm having myself a bit of that 5/1 top half action Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
romavillan Posted December 21, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted December 21, 2012 hmmm, 5 points between us and top half currently. 5/1 is long i reckon. when to bet though is question, if we lose to chelsea that'll lengthen unrealistically, if we win it'll come in a fair bit. as for my prediction, head says 12th-14th, heart says 8th-10th!

Exactly my thinking - I'm putting you in the middle with the smart crowd on 11th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvfcRigo82 Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Come on Rigo - give us a prediction!!! Okay okay. I think 4th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaCas Posted December 21, 2012 Author Share Posted December 21, 2012 Okay okay. I think 4th. I love your optimism but I think 4th will be a stretch this season - although I have heard that Lionel Messi was looking to buy a flat in the Mailbox so maybe we are going to spend all of Randy's money in the window. A top 4 finish is 1500/1 by the way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvfcTheObsession Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 A top 4 finish is 1500/1 by the way Whilst it's clearly very very unlikely, I am surprised the odds are as long as that. We are 11 points off 4th, Arsenal made up a similar deficit chasing us to claim 4th a few years back. The reason it's a risk from the bookies is they don't know for a fact that Lerner isn't about to invest 100 million from the Brown's sale on transfers in January. It would still be very unlikely we'd get 4th, but a lot more likely than a 1500/1 shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quizme Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 14th I reckon. Hopefully safe in the beginning of April. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some bookies have us a short as 100/1 for a top four finish. If I was RL I'd invest £200m in the window and whack £100m on a fourth place finish (although this is probably the reason why I'm not a billionaire) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrenm Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 All season I've said 8th and above the Albion. I'm now feeling a bit more optimistic so I'll say 6th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshVilla Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 Highly depends on what business we do in January If we strengthen i can see us finishing as high as 10 - 12th If we don't and injuries take their toll we could finish anywhere from the relegation places to 15th Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheltenham_villa Posted December 22, 2012 Share Posted December 22, 2012 I'm going to go between 11th and 15th. Think theyll probably be 3 points between those positions at the end of the season. One massive concern is Benteke, only in the sense that we are as heavily dependant on one player as I've ever seen. Injuries to him and I think we are very serious relegation candidates.
