Your early season relegation favourites...?

[mumf14]

...Tea leaves time...

As usual I'll start...

Bolton.

West Brazil.

Spurs..

OOOOOOOOOeeerrrrrrrrr.

What about you.. ???

[daverichards]

Spurs
Newcastle
Man U

[mumf14]

Man Utd....I wouldn't be rushing down the bookies.

[daverichards]

hey, they couldn't even get a point at Anfield

[mermaidsal]

I honestly think it could be Newcastle's year to go down.

[premierpotters08]

wigwam
spurs

[theprinceofstyle]

Newcastle
West Brazil
Bolton

[luke45]

Hull
West Brom
Newcastle or Bolton


I think Newcastle will stay up if there problems are resolved quickly, because i can't see there results picking up until the club has new owners and a new manager, and let's face it who is going to rushing to spend £400 Million pounds on Newcastle at the moment? and who is going to want to take over as manager knowing you aren't in control of transfers, and managers seem to come and go on a monthly basis? Newcastle's problem for the last 8 years or so has been the obvious lack of stability, and until they have a long-term manager and chairman in place, there is going to be limited progress, and added problems for them.

Despite Hull's solid start, i still firmly believe they are going to go down, i feel out of the promoted teams there side is the weakest, and i think once they suffer a bad run, thinks will slowly start to collapse for them, form will dip, and they'll end up in a relegation dog-fight.

And for me West Brom's all-attacking approach is going to be there down-fall, it may have worked in the championship but this is a different level, and even if they goals are coming frequent i think they will be conceding more at the other end.

Long-way to go, difficult to be sure on the end of season out comes really, should be an interesting season, and i think the christmas standings will give us a better insentive into how things are going to pan out.

[mumf14]

Newcastle.....Mmmm, I suppose it all depends who takes the poisoned chalice...

Too early to be going for them perhaps.?

[macmozzer]

we've got 4 points out 15 and we still feel safe and secure ,shows how well we have adapted and how well we are playing ,were still learning ,we've come a long,long way fellas!!!!!!!!!!! we are mint!!! goooooaaaaarrrrnnn stoke!!!!!!

[Mozzaa]

17. Newcastle
---------------------------
18. Hull
19. Bolton
20. West Brazil

I think Newcastle will do shit & then have a revival near the end to stay up

[smapples]

I think its Newcastles time now, as someone said who wants to buy an overpriced failing club. I think/hope that by the time Ashley budges on the price Newcastle will have lost confidence and points to make any sort of comeback. If they do get bought passed the Jan window there is really no hope, Ashleys not gonna shell out. In terms of Stoke I just think if we can rack up as many points as we can before Jan, we will get a super striker and super winger and we will be safe and sound.

Stoke City
Bolton/ Hull/Wigan (if Zaki is just having a flukey streak)
------------
Hull/Bolton
Newcastle
West Brom

[YarnfieldStokie]

I tipped Man City to be relegated just after their early season cash worries. I have seen nothing yet that will change that view!!


Castle
West Brazil
Bolton

[knowles]

Bolton seem to have had a shaky start (after their surprise victory on the opening day )

West Brom haven't done much to suggest to me that they won't struggle with their 'sexy' football.

Despite a brilliant start, I can't see Hull maintaining their form and it will be interesting to see how they do between now and January.

Newcastle are in freefall on and off the pitch at the moment.If they don't get things sorted soon then it might be too late.

Blackburn are another side who I expect to continue to struggle.

Of course, Stoke will struggle too. It is hard to name my favourites but this is my mini-league of clubs (in no particular order)

[headhunter]

Stoke
Hull
Spuds

[stan]

Not a single mention for Fulham? If they continue to lose virtually every match away from home, they'll almost certainly be somewhere near the bottom.

I'm still slightly annoyed by Bolton away, to be honest. If we'd been ready and prepared for that match in terms of personnel, we'd have had a very good chance of a draw (at least), which would have seen us three points ahead of them at this stage. At the time, I thought we couldnt afford to give teams a head start and I haven't changed my opinion.

Probably the only realistic prediction. 1 person thinks you are in trouble, despite the bookies having you as favourites to finish bottom! If I had to predict, id say you, us, and West Brom to go straight back down. Hope I'm wrong, but on squad quality, thats what should happen

[JoeinOz]

Brazil
Us
Bolton

[R.I.P Fullers Nan]

Stoke
West Brom
Bolton

[DannyStokie]

West Brom/us
Bolton
Spurs

[sheikhmomo]

In terms of actual bookies odds to go down, West Brom at odds against represents superb value.

[premierpotter08]

wba, hull, bolton


would like to see manu, newcastle and spurs

[DannyStokie]

I hope we prove everyone wrong and secure ourselves earlier than everyone thinks.

[smapples]

Fucks sake boys, as if it only takes one Hull fan to come on here and say we are going down to have 3 Stokies agree with it.

Football is a fickle mistress, it just so happens its more so for newly promoted sides, the future of Hull is not set in stone. In all honesty I dont think Spurs will finish any less than mid table let alone going down, its early days yet SuttonTiger, good start but my tea leaves arent spelling good things for you.

you've had a good start sutton tiger, but i'm afraid the only way for you from now is down as far as i can see, whereas for us we will improve our league status and confidence in the next in the next few game and find ourselves finishing a comfortable 16th spot. You lot have peaked to early my son.

[premierpotter08]

must admit though, im liking the halmosi signing though. good bit of business that

[mumf14]

It's bad luck to mention Stoke on this thread...!

[miffmister]

Not us, and any other 3. GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONN STOKE!!!
