This isn't Saints related either.

 

It is because our results will affect who goes down. I predict that the point we gave Sunderland will be enough to keep them up and send Cardiff down with Palace and Hull.

Palace will be bottom, Sunderland will improve but not significantly to avoid relegation, and the 3rd team (which is most difficult to choose) will be Newcastle, who will implode when their better players are pilfered from them in January.

 

Honorary mention also to Norwich, who despite a good transfer window are a team 'rotting' under the guidance of Chris Hughton. Nice bloke, just not good enough to get the best out of those players. (IMO). This is not said to annoy my wife, who actually agrees with me about Hughton.

Palace, Cardiff , Fulham

18. West Ham (even though that's as likely as Man United to be relegated...or was that last year?)

19. Cardiff

20. Crystal Palace

 

Hull will survive IMHO, they won;t be top ten, but I think they'll make it.

 

Surprised that folk think Norwich might drop - I disagree. But maybe they were overrated at the start of the season.

Place your bets now......

 

 

For me its

Palace

Sunderland

Stoke

 

 

someone is counting on the "Mark hughes managerial midas touch"

 

i think stoke are a solid enough side at home especially and will just survive

 

the third team i think will be Hull

 

pity, i like it when the unfashionable teams stay up.

West Ham

Fulham

Palace.

 

Sunderland to stay up on the last day to cause agony for West Ham who haven't been in the relegation zone all season!

 

that would be a disaster as that will wipe out 50% of our local away games.

Not if Brighton Bournemouth and Reading all come up. (That is NOT a prediction btw)

Don't see Norwich or Stoke going down personally.

 

Palace are certs. I'm actually surprised that team was good enough for promotion, though granted they are without their two best players from last term.

 

Would be seriously worried if I was a Fulham fan. Ageing squad, majorly lacking in guile or creativity in the middle of the park, defence is all over the place. Bent will get goals, but he needs them put on a plate for him. Barbatov, class as he is, just isn't one for a fight I don't think.

 

Think Sunderland will be the other team I'd go for. Too many new players over the summer, the damage Di Canio did in such a short space of time will be felt for a while yet I think. Maybe Gus can turn it around, but it will take some doing, can he keep up :)

I think Palace are the only nailed on relegation candidates so far. Sunderland probably going to go with them, the last place could be either Fulham or Norwich. I'll just pick Norwich for the sake of the thread.

18-Norwich

19-Sunderland

20-Palace

18th - Stoke

19th - Sunderland

20th - Palace

 

Feels weird to agree with Glasgow Saint on something... Stoke are a decent team but they're lacking an out-and-out goalscorer. Watch them spend heavily in January on a flop!

If Norwich don't get rid of ****pants Hughton they will go down.

 

Awful manager. Those stories about his team at Newcastle being promoted by Pardew are false. Just look at how he failed to promote an untouched PL-squad at Birmingham.

Normally these threads are highly important but now we are actually good it doesn't really matter.

 

Feels weird not really wanting 3 other teams to get cut adrift at the bottom of the prem just so we would have more chance of being safe.

 

Palace, Fulham, Newcastle.
