that and others... how a pundit can predict that a team that finished 4th last year can drop to 14th is beyond me... They have brought more players in, though not a whole lot and he is basing their whole league season on some pre-season results? bad research and journalism i think.kaids wrote:Not sure how an opinion can be complete crap, does this comment have anything to do with the Indo predicting Everton to go back to playing at their normal level I wonder...
Bolton to finish 11th? They had a great season last year as well. Just because they aren't a 'fashionable' team, they (along with everton in this case) get dismissed straight away.
Charlton to be relegated???
Man City 7th? I like city but they haven't replaced what they've let go. SWP was a huge loss for them. I would like to see 7th for city, but unless they make some signings i worry for them.
Newcastle 6th? I dont see it unless they make at least 3 or 4 big signings before deadline day. They need defenders, midfielders and attackers. Shearer is really their only recognised striker. Milner is young but hasnt really proven himself yet. Under Souness i see only bad things for newcastle.
Just in general the whole article seemed a bit amatuerish and like something one would read on a message board

Consistency. They finished 17th the season before that.Third_Echelon wrote:Yes, yes, yes... Everyone remembers Ipswich. Doesn't mean it will happen to other teams.
So finishing 4th didn't prove to everyone that they are not relegation candidates? What do we have to do? Win the premiership to prove this???
I think it's funny that you're accusing the Indo of being uninformed when you don't even know what position your own team finished in a season that ended less than a year and a half agoSo 2 seasons ago they finished 15th or whatever it was, and so last season they were predicited for the same fate? This is what I understand from your statement....
That certainly isn't my logic, though you can pretend it is, if you like. Everton have consistently been mid-table to relegation strugglers for years now, and so I don't think it's unreasonable that the one season when they finish 4th is nothing more than a blip.So this year, seeing that last year they finished 4th, they should finish in the top 6 this year.... Im just going by previous seasons finishing here and applying your logic. So i dont really see where you are coming from with this
Doesn't matter what I think, they aren't my predictions. Just because they don't align with your views doesn't mean they are misinformed, he's given his reasons for why he thinks Charlton will go down, they seem good enough as any to me.Yes, Not very well informed predictions. Charlton, come on? Do you really think they will be relegated?0 -

...and 7th the season before that. They didn't build upon their squad after that season and look what happened. They have this year, they've replaced players in the weaker positions with better players... Hopefully more to comekaids wrote:Consistency. They finished 17th the season before that.
It was a quick reply to a message board post, not a column in a national newspaper. If I was writing a column in a national newspaper, I would check the facts thoroughly beforehand.kaids wrote:I think it's funny that you're accusing the Indo of being uninformed when you don't even know what position your own team finished in a season that ended less than a year and a half ago
You said:kaids wrote:That certainly isn't my logic, though you can pretend it is, if you like. Everton have consistently been mid-table to relegation strugglers for years now, and so I don't think it's unreasonable that the one season when they finish 4th is nothing more than a blip.
You are basing next years 'result' on previous form.from you wrote:Everton were relegation candidates this time a year ago, so I don't think predicting a 14th finish is all that silly.
Last season they finished 4th. Therefore on this logic they will do the same. So it certainly is your logic. Hell of a 'blip' though! :rolleyes:
I think his predictions are laughable and misinformed. I know its nothing to do with you. I didn't say it was. Its not just because they dont align with my views, they are just laughable and stink of bad journalism... Its 'my mate down the pub' football talk...kaids wrote:Doesn't matter what I think, they aren't my predictions.

teams that have done well, then get relegated/finished low in the league:
Nott'm Forest
Blackburn
Newcastle
Ipswitch
Leeds
off the top of my head in the last few seasons. I also remember leicester/derby/west ham having fairly good seasons before going down a couple of years later.
Sheffield Wednesday were top of the league 5/6 games in a few years ago, winning all their matches, then went down the season after.
Anyway, does anyone remember the joke from about 8/9 years ago?
Whats the difference between a triangle and everton?
A triangle has more points
That was 10/11 games into the season, and they performed a minor miracle (and a manager change, wasn't it Joe Royle?), to get out of it.0 -

So what do all those other clubs have to do with Everton? Thats right, absolutely nothing.astrofool wrote:teams that have done well, then get relegated/finished low in the league:

Leeds' implosion was their own fault. They based to much on qualifying for the champs league and didn't. Very bad management, spent way too much money and ran the club into the ground. I don't see that scenario happening at Everton.0 -
