Football!!!

Oh well the new season (for those of us out side the premiership) starts in just seven days time. What are the expectations for the members of this board that their team will do?

Personally - My team is LEEDS UNITED and I think it depends how good a start to the season they get. If they get off to a flyer they should be there or there abouts at the end of the season - despite it being a whole new team. If they get off to a bad start then I think it could be a long haul!!!

If Woodgate playes the majority of the season we should make the top 4. If not probably 6th or 7th.

Man Utd will win the title.

After an easy 3 pts on the opening day at Elland Road we should be off and running towards our playoff place this year

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!

We shall see - live on sky next saturday!!!

Actually I think Arsenal will win the league again - not as easy as last season but I think they will, nobody has done anything this summer to suggest otherwise!!!

Middlesborough could be the unfancied team to watch even if they have got MR I only play when I want too VIDUKA!!!!

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!

We shall see - live on sky next saturday!!!

We're notoriously slow starters. Besides, we never win at Elland Road

I remember going 3-0 up there once and going on to lose 4-3

I'm too depressed to even consider, how well we'll do this season. Camara's gone to Celtic, albeit on a loan deal,

I don't think it should be too bad, I'm ideally hoping for higher than a play off finish, but I suppose play offs will do.

Given the diverse followings on these boards I feel it important to find some common ground;

Surely, we all hate Leicester No cheating this time, tw*ts

Sure, why not, let's all hate Leicester (in the absence of the Al***n shite)

I'm indifferent, knowing practically nothing about English footie

I'm sure you can trust our judgement on this one Laura. Leicester = cheating b*stards

Apart from one or two dodgy off the pitch events at Leicester (a lot of midland clubs seem to be neanderthal based) I don't have that much against them.

Who do you support again James?


My only interest in the "Championship" (sic) is the continuing exile of the forces of darkness from Wearside.

Oi, on behalf of the Midlanders on the board, we are plentiful

Back in the days of yore (last game of 1983) I had the best day out ever of the old fashioned everything going mental days at a certain place not far from you Lisa

It featured the most running battles and general mayhem ever seen - including a police horse actually in the pub we were in.

Subtle hint - the team play in gold

Was it The Wanderer pub by any chance

Playoffs would be nice, seeing as we haven't had anything to cheer about for a few years.

Some greater consistency would also be welcomed (and I mean consistency in the fact of scoring regular points ), as we normally either start of the season really well, then go downhill, or vice versa. And either way, thats not enough if we want to challenge for promotion.

It was the first one on the right hand side of the bottom of the high street if thats what it is that starts near the train station.

The only times I've been since then I've been by car so I can't be sure.

I do remember the owner shouting about his antique clock on the wall trying to stop it being wrecked and only succeeding in drawing attention to it ( "not me clock, not me clock ... ah no" ) - it was like the willd west.

The Wanderer pub. Had a real mental block for a while, but is that the one next to the underpass?

I always used to have to walk past that pub on the way back home in the 1st and 2nd year, and in the summer, they'd always be loads of students sitting outside and on the pavement. It was really annoying when you knew you had work/revision to do and couldn't go and join them (on the times when I was being sensible and responsible that is ).

Prince Albert pub? Or the one that's now Flares - can't remember what it used to be.

I think he must mean the pub that's now Flares M.

Wouldn't happen now, I don't think there's a single pub in Wolves, that lets in rival fans now

Yes Michelle, the Wanderer is opposite the infamous subway
