Davezk I fear for us to be honest. I look at who other teams have brought in and what we have in reserve. If we couldn't score in the championship (very often), how are we going to get the goals in the premiership to keep us up?

I'll go with West Ham, Norwich and either us or Southampton. If we finish above Southampton, I win £100 off my mate at work. Don't let me down Reading! :D



southampton and west ham will finish above reading. and we will go down, but i dont what them to but i think we will.


I think they've shown a bit more ambition but West Ham typically spend like idiots (hopefully that'll backfire again). I know we're quite shrewd in the market but I'm not convinced players like Hunt are going to break even the 10 goal barrier in the prem when they couldn't do it at a lower level. I just hope Pog and Guthrie keep up their good starts - we'll need them.

Top four and bottom three at the end of the season will be the same as they are now just in a different order.

Remember we still have a game in hand on everyone else. Win next weekend and we will probably be top of the bottom half with a game in hand

Norwich seem to have a collective condemned feeling already.

Not convinced about Swansea either. There's more than a hint of a camera loving Micheal Douglas/Hollywood wannabe in Mr Laudrup. They may have too many 'sunshine' players who may be class in freshers week, but lack the guile for late/early year slogs.

Very difficult to predict this early though.

Poll probably needs resetting now that 15 games have gone and teams are giving a better indication of the direction in which they are likely to be heading!

I can accept relegation as long as that smug twat at Southampton doesn't keep them up.

Reading, QPR and West Ham fall to pieces in the second half of the season like we did in 2007/8.

Can't remember who I said previously. I think us, Norwich and WBA.

I can still see QPR doing a Hoodini act again and there always seems to be a team that plummets like a stone in the second half of the season (a la Hull, Blackpool etc), but I am struggling to think of another side I have seen this season that are in anyway as ineffectual as us.

Aston Villa. And we have yet to see Sunderland. And we managed to make Southampton look average when in fact they're shit

So I, admittedly on 3 September, said QPR, Reading and Saints. Not a bad guess as things stand.

Newcastle are looking a bit dodgy at the moment (4 points above relegation zone), perhaps both NE clubs could drop out of the Prem :D
