nutty nigel 7,351 Posted December 30, 2018 I think Huddersfield, Burnley and Southampton will fill the bottom three PL places. If Burnley are relegated history suggests we could change divisions too as both clubs had promotion/relegation seasons in 84/85, 94/95, 03/04, 08/09, 09/10, 13/14, 14/15 and 15/16 (I think!) Crazy coincidence! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ron obvious 1,473 Posted December 30, 2018 I still think Colin's for the drop! He's doing incredibly well so far though I have to admit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kathy 728 Posted December 30, 2018 If those three do, several of our former players who left for ‘better things’ could be passing us in the other direction. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capt. Pants 4,090 Posted December 30, 2018 Huddersfield will struggle to get 20 points and Wagner will be off. Joined by Southampton and Cardiff. Pritchard, Redmond and Murphy will be back right where they started, with us hopefully going in the other direction. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Surfer 1,547 Posted December 30, 2018 I think it will be Huddersfield and Southampton plus one of Cardiff or Newcastle. I can't see Burnley or Palace being down there at the end of the season, and I have a suspicion that Fulham will work it out too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SwindonCanary 455 Posted December 30, 2018 Burnley always seem to come down when we go up and visa versa along with them I'm like to see Cardiff leave the ENGLISH PREMIERSHIP. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

keelansgrandad 6,679 Posted December 31, 2018 I think Burnley might make a go of it for the remainder of the season. But they may well need to spend for a change to bolster a side that looks Championship on paper. Huddersfield, who cannot score do look poor and doomed. I say poor but that is what the Prem is like. I think Cardiff have Championship personnel who are inspired by a controversial, but to me, an inspired, manager. I think they will come down. Southampton showed enough yesterday to make me think they can play but I think they may have sold too many players (remind you of another club) and will find it very difficult to get out of the bottom three. Fulham have spent but either not enough or unwisely but may just have the firepower to stay up. Newcastle and Palace have experienced managers who have won things rather than battle relegation too often and I think, certainly Newcastle, could attract players in during the January window to keep them up. Huddersfield, Cardiff and Southampton. Replaced by Leeds, WBA and probably us. Although I am not sure if we are in any position to look forward to another season in the Prem. But if you play well enough to go up, that is the prospect. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Herman 9,584 Posted January 2, 2019 Huddy are not going to survive without a new coach and massive spending. Another bad home loss tonight. Fulham are not good enough to survive. Soton for the third spot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bethnal Yellow and Green 1,557 Posted January 2, 2019 Southampton will be fine, Cardiff will get sucked back into it. If Fulham get a couple of defenders in this month then they can overhaul Burnley. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fuzzar 1,701 Posted January 2, 2019 I was hoping Huddersfield would stay up. As we're following a similar blueprint, but with less money. 😟 I think it will be them, Cardiff and Newcastle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Badger 2,389 Posted January 2, 2019 I'm hoping Cardiff stay up, purely because I'd like to see Warnock achieve it - even though I hate watching his teams! Id like to see Fulham go down because if we don't get promotion they are likely to be stuffed if they get relegated! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hairy Canary 628 Posted January 3, 2019 Huddersfield, Fulham and Cardiff for me. As usual the most interesting part of the Premier is the scrap at the bottom. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
