Relegation speculation

[FTM]

is it time to start yet..is it too early to predict your 3 to go down or do you think some teams can save themselves by doing good business in the transfer window?

I think at this stage its 3 from the bottom 5...which 3 though

I think QPR, Reading and Villa

I think its just too far back for QPR, Reading just dont have enough quality to see them through to the end of the season and a couple of injuries to key players could see them slump again and Villa at this stage seem unwilling to back the manager with cash. They are too fragile at the back and even taking a lead doesnt guaranteee them the points.

I think the mags are taking the action they need to..probably getting some of their summer targets now..hand has been forced but at least they are doing something about it..just depends whether they work out or not

Villas defence will be their downfall..they are shot to bits confidence wise and the manager seems to have no idea how to turn it around. it doesnt matter how many goals benteke scores as they ship them far to readily at the back

Norwich will be looking over their shoulders as well as they are not on a good run
I personally think it will be QPR, reading and Villa

though this could be wigans year finally. They dont have that sort of player that can change a game like nzogbia did last season (though he has hardly showed a glimpse of that in a villa shirt)

Stop poaching Cabaye you lot!!!

Also the "above your station" comment is a weird one Tom what defines station?

I think its a section of fans..we have them as well at sunderland

they think just because you get big crowds it should guarantee you a victory over 'smaller' clubs or they sneer when being linked with a player from a club they deem 'smaller' then themselves

when the reality is some big teams have had no real success for an entire generation and fans are living on past glories and not the reality they face now

not all newcastle fans are like this and its not just them (my brother is entirely realistic as are most) but I suspect there are fans like this at all clubs.
