Who will be relegated from the Premiership this season?

There is a multi choice poll attached.

Select the 3 teams you think will go down.

Robbie Loving · 22-01-2005, 15:03

think southampton will get out with redknapp in charge!!!

so the 3 that came up, back down

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

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!!

was there not talk of smith being manager at weds at one point?

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.

Lickszz · 23-01-2005, 21:29

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

Lickszz · 23-01-2005, 21:44

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.

Lickszz · 01-03-2005, 19:38

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.

AndrewC · 03-03-2005, 12:44

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.

Greenback · 03-03-2005, 14:22

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.

A.B.Yaffle · 04-03-2005, 02:21

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

tosh13 · 06-03-2005, 16:39

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.

duffman · 07-03-2005, 11:30

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

tosh13 · 07-03-2005, 17:27

Yes delia will take all the Norwich players to the corner flag & say this is how we boil an egg,oh christ we are 2-0 down sod the egg go get em,where's me sherry.

bellis · 09-03-2005, 16:00

ive gone for the top 3 on the list but saying that southampton might crumble towards the end hope they dont cos i have fond ,memories of the dell

Lickszz · 08-05-2005, 18:14

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.

AndrewC · 13-05-2005, 13:34

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.
