Don't think in all our 10 seasons in the Prem I've had no more idea than the man on the moon who is going down at the one third through stage. Heading for a blanket finish aren't we, a collective dip for the line !?

Swansea will go but apart from them I'm not sure either tbh. I Still think we'll be fine.

Long way to go and many ups and downs for all concearned.
Apart from the booring top six it makes the rest of us a interesting and a eventful leauge.
The greedy bastards at the top fail to realise that to be at the top of a pyramid you have to have a solid base.
The statistic that outside the "six" Stoke are the longest serving member of the most prestigious leauge in the world is quite awesome.

To early to say but Swansea look pretty awful and the glow is starting to wear off Huddersfield's good start.
One team that no one is really talking about is Southampton, but they can't score, their best defender wants to leave and their new manager looks worse than the one that they unjustly sacked in the summer.

Or maybe read them more carefully ! 😀 Even including Everton still a good statistic. |

The usual relegated teams are 1 or 2 of the promoted, plus 1 or 2 of the teams that have just avoided relegation the previous season.
Based on this premise, Swansea and Palace look favourites for the drop having had some poor runs in form for couple of seasons.
Which of the promoted teams could join the above 2 is a tough call as all three seem to be well managed and organized. Prior to the season and following the early games, I think everyone's favourite to stay up of the promoted sides was Newcastle. My view now is Newcastle could be the most likely for the drop, my reasons being:
1. Rafa has had a pretty mediocre young squad playing well above their expected standard, and it will not last all season and they will run out of steam/adrenilin.
2. Ownership issues at Newcastle, unsettle everyone at a club, and will inhibit spending in January. Teams that having been struggling and avoid the drop, usually do so because of astute purchases in January.
3. The expectation of the Newcastle fans and the local media is massive and places huge pressure on the club.
4. Rafa could be tempted away or want out if ownership doesn't change satisfactorily.

Huddersfield will be interesting in the second half of the season. Everything is new at the moment but we all know how tough the second half of the first season can be. They've probably all spent up by now and transfers in the 2nd window will be at a premium I reckon, which again as we know is vital.
I fancy them to drop like a stone post Christmas.
I would say I hope i'm wrong but I don't. One more team in the mix is always a bonus.

I think it is more cut and dried this season than ever before.
Swansea were gone before a ball was kicked. Palace will join them with Huddersfield.
With Citeh running away with the title, it is becoming the most predictable season for ages.

I think Huddersfield will really start to struggle over the next month or so, they've got some horrible fixtures between now and Christmas.
They've started conceding a lot of goals and they don't score many.

Interesting times.
On the face of it normal top six order properly restored but heard a good stat that Pochet has only won one in 17 against top6 peers.
Think there are vulnerabilities in Arse, pool, Chelsea too.
Think man u under Moaner will dull it out to the finish.
There's hope.
It's been a staccato season and entering a compressed period where Europe/cup diversion could tell.
Burnley and Watford pick of the chasing pack?
I reckon we're better than that and them.
Open season.

I watched them in the cup against Citeh last season and thought they would make a good fist of promotion and our division. Good side. Surprised so many picked then to drop.

I Reckon Swans Palace West Ham Because they haven't scored away since opening day and since magnificently beating The Shit are looking like a side who are going to get beaten every game. They might stay up but it's going to be very close. They need someone with Premier League experience in January. Brighton will be fine if bottom half. |

Fair enough, I've not really watched the other clubs this season very much, tend to watch games that impact us more than the glamour ties this season, not sure why. Not Like me. Premier League hooray :/ |
