koimatsuba 0 Posted July 16, 2006 Can''t remember the name of the bookies but saw a poster today in cholchester stating Norwich at 14-1 for the champs.Some of the others were: FAV - Birmingham 6-1, Sunderland, 11-1 and Crystal Palace at 12-1.personally if we get a good start and sign a couple of GOOD players we can win this league. Lets face it no one is that good! How Sunderland and Palace can be above us in the odds is past me! Palace have lost dowie and AJ! And Sunderland as in freefall.Maybe worth a £10, BUT then I normally jinks it when I bet! Roll on the new season, Earny for Champs top scorer! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nh_ncfc 0 Posted July 16, 2006 Thank you!That''s made me feel much better about the up-coming season.We can do it! - (8) Going UP UP UP!!!! (8) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ginja 26 Posted July 16, 2006 Just had a look in an old preview, we were 16-1 to win the title, we shocked everyone and did it. But the club will require changes just like that season if it is to progress. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rich 0 Posted July 17, 2006 yup but that season was turned around by bring huckbery and a few others. THe same would need to be done again to get us up there, I great the league doesn''t good but I see no value in 14-1, when you consider you can get coventry at 16s and they''ve brought in players to strengthen and didn''t finish far away from us.

Rotherhithe Canary 0 Posted July 17, 2006 i put 10 pounds on us every year to get promoted, except obviously last year, i bet we would avoid relegation (s**t, sorry!!!) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rotherhithe Canary 0 Posted July 17, 2006 I put 10 pounds on us every year to get promoted, except obviously last year, i bet we would avoid relegation (s**t, sorry!!!), i think 14-1 are probably about right, for me birmingham will walk the league, but i think the reason that our odds are lower than some may have thought is due to the fact that in previous years everyone seems to beat everyone in this league making it very unpredictable ( reading and watford??)

komakino 272 Posted July 17, 2006 As things stand at the moment, 14-1 is laughable. There is absolutely no way we will win this league UNLESS we have a new manager and some canny purchases. We are much more likely to get relegated than promoted with the lack of activity at Carrow Road.I think Birmingham will win, but I''m backing Hull for promotion - could be the new Watford.

We need a Manager 0 Posted July 17, 2006 14/1 is very very slim for a side that failed so miserably last season and have no new players , with what we have now 14/1 to finish in the top ten would be about right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We need a Manager 0 Posted July 17, 2006 We had a lot of very lucky wins last season , luck always runs out in the end. With the squad we have now top 10 will be an achievement. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
koimatsuba 0 Posted July 18, 2006 Very interesting replies ..... IMO: I think that a team that plays together with only a couple of new faces (to spice it up) is the best formula. We had too many new faces in the Prem. The defense was solid yet we added new faces who hadn''t palyed together and it didn''t work.This current team is the same as last season, maybe with one or two extra squad players and with little injuries this team can play together. Remember Greece in Euro 2004!Anyway lets be upbeat! we haven''t even started yet. I''ll soon know after the first three to six games. Cheers All!!!!!!!!!!!!!11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Balham Yellow 0 Posted July 18, 2006 I wouldn''t put any money on City at 140-1. There is no possibility whatsoever that we will the title. If anyone wants to bet I will offer them double the odds they can get at the bookies. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
andrew norwichcity 8 Posted July 18, 2006 if birmingham or west brom dont win this league then i will eat my hand... they have still got some good players and birmingham will run away with it even better than reading i think. im not a bad norwich fan but being realistic i think norwich can only hope for 6th place due to diabolical signings (none).

Misery Guts 0 Posted July 18, 2006 Birmingham and West Brom will not win the leauge this season. I am staking my non exsistent reputation on this ! Clubs that come straight down hardly ever win the leauge , the top players either want to leave or play as though they don''t think they should be here and so are impatient. Look at us last season, we should have thrashed Reading at home, a typical trait of ours was winning a few games on the trot and then simply assuming we had turned a corner before losing the next few. If you want a good bet get on Leeds at 10-1 . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Peter Grants Auld Man 0 Posted July 18, 2006 Think that 14/1 is a fair price to win league, though wouldn''t put my mortgage on it. Would like to think that if you end August playing 5 games (Leeds, PNE, Luton, Derby and Barsnley) and have say 10 points from that lot the 14''s might be cut a touch.Personally I have backed the 11/1 Leeds to win league.Hail Hail the Celts are here Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rotherhithe Canary 0 Posted July 19, 2006 but its not often that a team with so many quality players such as birmingham go down Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
