Who will be relegated from the Premiership this season?

There is a multi choice poll attached.

I agree Robbie, Harry is starting to get Saint to play. Shame him and Jim Smith didn't come to Hillsborough, although I expect you to say different :P

now harry has a few of his own players in, and i expect him to bring a couple more in, i think we will see a different southampton for rest of season!!

Yes, Jim is a Wednesdayite, and of course was born and bred in the city, but he seems to be happy being Harry's number 2.

I think the three that came up will go back down although I don't know why I ticked Blackburn in the poll so don't count that one.

I'll amend it if for you tell me what needs editing.

I also think that the 3 that came up will go back down. I would like to see Southampton go down because they have been threatening to go down for as long as I can remember.

It is looking like teams will only need around 35 points this season to be safe. The clubs coming up just aren't good enough to get 40 points.

When Norwich were 2-0 up I was starting to think they might have a chance of survival, and I still think they are capable of going on a good run if they can just get that first win.

But realistically it really does look West Brom, Norwich and one from Palace or Southampton.

Personally I hope Crystal Palace survive as they have one of the best young managers around and they play good football.

palace have done very well this season but i can see southampton beggining to get the points there far superior squad deserves - and very soon at that,

Southampton
----------------------
Palace
Norwich
West Brom


and BTW whatthe hell happened at the hawthornes this season? They were supposed to be the more experienced, stronger squad out of us three newbies and well.....

I was under the impression that you got points from football matches, not by begging.

And why do Southampton "deserve" to stay up because their players cost more money and they have a bigger squad?
I'd say palace deserve to stay up because they are making a better use of their resources.

Despite playing some very attractive football at times, Southampton have only won 1 out of their last 6 games. That's relegation form.

I hope Palace stay up actually, Iain Dowie's doing a great job there.

I think West Brom, Norwich, and Southampton will all go down. Southampton still don't seem to doing well, even with Redknapp in charge.

Watch out for Portsmouth dropping like a stone,a team near the last 10 matches of the season has this problem & wouldn.t it be ironic if Harry kept up the Saints & his old club went down,I hope Southampton stay up as I think Harry & Jim are the last of the real genuine football managers in the premiership.

Can't wait to see Delia's half time show next season if they are pushing to get back up in the premiership

So, it's gone down to the last game to decide this. Exciting stuff. can Norwich escape? To be sure they really need something at Fulham but they have failed to win away from home all season.

I said a while back that 35 point would be enough. None of the teams that come up at capable of getting 40 points.

I reckon we'll do it - either 3 points to kill it there and then, or we'll draw and get lucky. If we lose i'd like to see palace take 17th.

So we see Palace, Southampton and Norwich go down with the West brom staying up!

Norwich the only team with their future in their own hands got a bit of a thumping at Fulham, this seemed to spark off the other games as there was hope for the 3 other teams down there.

Six-Nil!!! who saw that one coming?

This has been one of the most bizarre survival battles there has ever been in the Premiership.

No team had ever been bottom at Christmas and survived. West Brom were bottom by EIGHT POINTS at Christmas.

Robson was universally condemned as a useless manager (by me as well I hasten to add!)

Palace started to get there act together and played really well in the second half of the season, but kept conceding late goals, if they had won either of the last 2 games they would have survived.
