McDermott and Caplan have history going back to infamous press conference after the Cas home game when Sinfield was sent off. McDermott decided in his wisdom to leave two subs on the bench. Caplan had the temerity to suggest at the press conference McDermott might have got it wrong!!

I seriously doubt McDermott is bothered about (or has even seen) someones League prediction.

Don't be so sure I believe that Trump tweeted it to him.

Hetherington's Budgie was falling over himself last season to court favour with the powers-that-be at Headingley with his weekly excuse-ridden narrative about Leeds performances and league table position. Schoey sat next to him just said it as it was... Leeds are crap Phil, they won't make the Top 8, the coach and players are clueless.

Peter Smith of the YEP wouldn't maintain his current privileges at HQ if he was critical of the coach. Most of his opinion pieces in the YEP probably require GH's approval first.

Still nothing from the resident Cheerleaders. Not an issue like, as long as don't have a go at others if not prepared to back your own opinion.

Southstander - the only sports club's forum in the world where you get singled out by other fans for being positive about the team you all claim to support.

Be patient Gotcha, I know you're checking daily but you're just going to have to wait. I've already said i'll be posting mine later this month.
Lots can happen between now and the start of the year and unless i've misread the OP there's no deadline for predictions?
If it helps, i've already had a charity bet with Sal where i've predicted top 4 for Leeds so you can safely assume i'll be predicting a top 4 finish.

Is that OK chicken?

Who said anything about you? Your pretty irrelevant pal to this, as with anything else.

OK, cheers. Does that mean you'll leave me alone now then?

I'm waiting until nearer the season start. I usually predict early and just end up wanting to edit it again weeks later so I'll wait this time.

And it's nothing to do with Leeds as I've already made my views on how they'll do known, it's 3/4 other teams i'm still not certain about where to place.

Actually credit where it is due there mate. You didn't bite and your response is perfectly fair. Good luck to you.
