Who is going down from the Premier League ?

ArmoVanBuuren · 14 Apr 2015 at 10:37

Sunderland, Burnley and Hull

Hull and Sunderland look doomed. They're playing **** and they've got the hardest run-ins then I think it's a toss up between QPR, Burnley and Leicester. QPR's games are the hardest but they seem more capable of picking up the odd win here or there.

I hope Leicester go down for no other reason than Nigel Pearson comes across as the biggest **** in the League which is an achievement in a League that contains Fat Sam, Pardew and Mourinho.

Burnley, Hull, Sunderland

Burnley!

I want to watch the cotton mill derby next year! (Rovers vs. Burnley).

Sunderland, QPR and Burnley

As a Leicester fan, Pearson is proper embarrassing at times

But we do have a easier run-in than the other teams around us, so it's in our own hands.

I can't believe no one is saying Newcastle. 7 defeats in a row, games with teams below us coming up with no sign of looking like we are capable of drawing a game never mind winning one.

Sunderland, QPR and Burnley won't get enough points to catch Newcastle.

Sadly not, however if Villa lose today then we are right back in amongst it.

I wouldn't rule Sunderland out.

Leicester have a relatively easy run-in. If they can get a decent result at West Brom next week I wouldn't be surprised to see them go on a little run of form and stay up.

What are the lottery numbers this week )

I did.

We were 100/1 to go down last month. Wish I was a betting man.

When this thread was started Newcastle were mid table. One person DID predict Newcastle at that time ..... a fan !!

Yes you did, and I thought it was funny. There is one team that drops down the table in to the relegation places at the end of the season, I didn't see that being Newcastle. Neither did the bookies it seems.

nemtizz · 2 May 2015 at 18:35

I wish it was in jest too.

I wasn't expecting us to be this bad but after seeing the second half display against Burnley at home it was obvious we were in trouble.

We're the worst team in the league and there's no way we deserve to stay up. Think Blackpool are the only team in the top 5 divisions to have a worse record than us in 2015. Amazing.

Frankiemac · 2 May 2015 at 18:40

I bet we weren't far being until our Barcelona like perfomance against Burnley.

I would have loved Burnley to stay up, I like they way they try and play, haven't gone making silly signings and Dyche is an underrated manager.

Maybe if Newcastle drop Ashley will go.

Considering they won today, you're right. Newcastle been pulled right into it.

el_dazza · 2 May 2015 at 19:40

Newcastle actually hit 250/1 to go down.. 13/2 now.

They actually hit a high of 860/1 on Betfair.

He's happy with mediocrity. They're in a comfortable enough position financially to come straight back up, as they did last time. The problem is he wants to get as much out of the club as possible, and he won't get that in the Championship. He needed a few seasons like they had 2011/2012 to sell it for anything near his asking price.
