According the the Suday Sun's guide to the Premier League clubs. . . . .
LEICSTER CITY.
Foxes by name, Foxes by nature, How else do you explain how Leicester can rompto the Championship title, yet still convince every major bookie they are going straight back down? Nigel Pearson's side didn't win the Championship, They owned it! Driven by the pain of a play off semi final defeat at Watford the previous season, Pearson'n men were in no mood to go to the wire again. Promotion arrived with 6 games to go -a club record.
They won 31 of the 46 games -another club record. They bagged 102 points and won 17 of the 19 games -more club records. (I thought it was 23 games) On the road they won 14 to equal their best. Between December 21 and February 8 won 9 league game son the trot. including 5 straight away wins. 2 club records for the price of one. A run of 13 away games unbeaten also set a new standard. No wonder Pearson's priority was to secure out of contract players like Kasper Schmeichel, who were beginning to attract the big boys. Pearson isn't famed for mirth-making. But he must be having a chuckle to himself at being written off already.
Relegation for the Foxes, Don't count your chickens.

For what it's worth I reckon you'll do ok and finish around 14th in the mid to high 40's points wise

For what it's worth, nobody has a clue what's going to happen.
Who put money on Utd finishing where they did last year?
...and who put their house on Sunderland being relegated at Christmas?

For once I agree, the beauty of football is it's unpredictability.
We all support our teams and our opinions of our own players and players of other clubs rarely match because we're the only ones that know how they play together because we're the only ones that watch them week in week out.
At the end of the day you know nothing about Leicester and I know nothing about WBA so neither of us are qualified to doubt the ability of each other's teams.
I actually like WBA as a club and hope they stay up.
