The "nail your colours to the mast" thread. Where will we finish in the 2026-27 season?

I'm getting so carried away with the strength of our squad, I found myself checking the odds for us doing a Leicester and winning the league.

500/1 shows the bookies are taking us seriously 🫣
Ive just watched a podcast on Instagram and the bloke said exactly that.

When i checked the other day I was only offered 250/1 and 100/1 to be top at Christmas (Bet365)

2 votes for just avoiding the drop ! 🤪🤪🤪
 

The "nail your colours to the mast" thread. Where will we finish in the 2026-27 season?

I voted 8-10. And for a while I’ve thought tenth. But I think with things falling in our favour eg. no injuries to key players I don’t think a European place is out of the question.

10th - super congested midtable again I believe. I think Everton will be a real threat this season.

Im going 11th, will be another great season with loads of ups and downs as usual

6th They have had a sniff of European football. With a year under Andrews belt, with that experience the bees can bring it home.

The normal contrarians who should be banned from all polls.
You asked people to nail their colours to the mast and now you want to ban them because they have an opinion you disagree with.

Don't think jmf has voted. Shame, could do with winning a few quid by following his tips. He can't make money betting on Brentford but no reason he can't share the love on here. ;)

Crikey, when did we get so self-entitled that my predicting a 15th place finish in the Premier League is viewed as ban-worthy and “not an opinion” 😂

If anyone seriously thinks we will just avoid relegation they should be banned then sent to a Siberian work camp

For balance, please tell the audience how many times you have voted for a ridiculous choice in a Motm thread.

I don’t think predicting 15th place in this poll is ridiculous at all though and not sure why that would be anyone’s instinctive response.

Save for the relegated sides, perhaps, it will be very hard earned to finish any team in this division. Comfortable midtable or top half is not a given whatsoever.

Given your history of trolling pretty much every poll that's been on here, you'll forgive us for being sceptical. My view is that you should be banned from posting in any poll tbh. It's your choice to have behaved that way.

Simple solution is not have an option in a poll if you don’t want anyone to vote on it, or if you would consider such a vote as ban-worthy.

There is no trolling here, and I’d be honestly pretty happy with finishing 15th in the PL, it’s a pretty strong middle pack, I don’t think Wolves and West Ham being flushed out last season helps.

I’d say it’s more “ridiculous” to see the number of votes that have us as Champions or qualifying for UCL but would be very glad to be proved wrong.

If you give logical reasoning as to why you think we're going to drop 6 positions compared to last season despite strengthening in every single department, then people will happily accept your opinion as genuine. Good luck coming up with anything logical though.

it is hard to imagine that we could have had a better summer really. of all our premier league seasons we surely must have the highest expectations for this season.

We’re very optimistic. But not as optimistic as the 2 biggest clubs in the universe.

I have gone for the Bees to finish 7th.
I pinned my colours to the mast a couple of days back.

My logic is that I don’t think there’s going to be a huge difference in quality between the teams that will finish 8th and 17th.

I’m confident we aren’t going down — much more so than in any previous season — and my prediction might feel conservative, but I don’t think we’ve been tested enough in the friendlies to say for sure we are going to finish above the majority of that middle cluster (Bournemouth, Brighton, Fulham, Palace, Forest, Newcastle, Leeds, Everton, Sunderland, etc). I think Leeds and Sunderland replacing West Ham and Wolves makes it slightly tougher.


Quite bizarre that I’m being called out for predicting 15th but predictions for us to win the league or qualify for UCL aren’t!

See above and you record of voting in all sorts of polls. Don't play the victim and pretend this is a one-off.

Most pre-season optimism I’ve felt since we won League 2 in 2008/09. Think we are genuine contenders for top six given the number of clubs in transition and/or Europe. We have for example a better squad than Man Utd and Spurs, despite them both having excellent individuals. Sure, we will need some luck along the way but bring it on! 🐝

Hopefully far enough away from the bottom 3 that I can have a chilled season

It’s not relevant to this thread, really. What did you vote for in this poll? Champions League? Is that any less bold than 15th?

What's quite bizarre is that your main reason for predicting that we're suddenly going to drop below Fulham, Palace, Forest, Newcastle, Leeds and Everton is that Rennes and Frankfurt didn't really turn up for the preseason games while we did.

There is much more sense in saying that because Liverpool and Bournemouth have to adapt to a new manager, Villa are going through a rebuild and Sunderland won't overperform as much as they did last season after having a completely stagnant Summer, we can sneak into a UCL spot than there is in saying that picking Rennes and Frankfurt as our preseason opponents means we're going to drop down to 15th.

On that basis, I'm not sure you can really complain at people not taking you seriously.

Fair enough, I just wouldn’t consider it some huge drop off if we were to finish below any of these teams.

L4 D5 W3 against them last season.

Quite bizarre that the instigator of this poll asks for everyone's honest opinion then complains when they give it.

As for your opinion, yes you might well be right. Only a few points may finally separate upper half glory from lower half ignominy. And obviously in such circumstances it would only take a handful of adverse refereeing or VAR decisions or just a bad run of luck to swing things one way or the other.

To be fair Tottenham and Chelsea are likely to be stronger, especially with no European football. I predict both will finish in the top 6.

Arsenal, Man City, Man Utd, Villa and Liverpool are likely to finish above us.

Predicting 15th would be the worst case scenario but it isn't out of the question so I don't understand the pushback on the posters prediction.

We'll be in the 8th to 15th table, and like last season will require luck with injuries to finish towards the top of that bracket. There were 8 points between 8th and 15th last season.

We've invested well but some of the other clubs are stronger than last season. Hopefully we can push towards 60 points and see where it takes us.

I think it is the boy that cried wolf with this poster and his usual poll responses which are at odds with his posts because he is normally quite sensible.

Yes it is!
You don't know this posters history of posting stupid sh*t in polls. If this is an honest opinion, well tough, if he hadn't spent years trolling polls then maybe someone (other than you) might believe him.

Fun fact. @BFC1997 has voted for Frank Onyeka as man of the match in every game he has ever played. If he doesn't play, his preference is to vote for substitutes who may have come on in the 90th minute. It's not the moderators who decided to do this.

I don’t know why, as a mod, you feel this is worth derailing the thread over.

If you won’t take my posts seriously because of a joke from a while (which you have quite firmly overstated above) — then ban me outright from this site or put me on ignore please. That would be a shame, but your prerogative. I’m not having this every time I post.

I’ve tried to engage with the actual content of this thread in good faith and steer things back on topic when repeatedly and harshly called out but you and others have spent all day going on about this. Enough now.

I won't apologise for calling out your idiotic posting in polls on here but will stop now. I trust in future you will apply the supposed "good faith" on this poll to all other polls and not waste any more moderator time. Over to you I guess.

We must have done this often enough to know if we are optimistic or pessimistic statistically innit?

Actually, if I really want someone to do the work I'll have to try a different approach

It's OK. I've fixed the problem including historically and going forward too.
