Yet another pointless thread.
I'm getting my pre-booooooooooooos in now so I don't miss the big day.

So they spent 4 years in to top 10 before 5 years bumbling around in lower mid table before relegation. I hadn't realised that they mixed it with the 'top 6' for so long. Pretty impressive and would do well to match that.

Was amazed last season when Leicester went down, genuinely thought they were too good to go down.
So it happens, you look at the likes of palace who never do anything just hover around 14th year in year out.
So my answer is I have no idea, we struggled too establish ourselves for the first few years and there will come a time when it all conspires against us again.
But certainly can’t see it happening within the next 5 seasons.

I'm not convinced about this. The Japanese that fly to Brighton from Japan to watch Mitoma, yes. But there are plenty of local Japanese watching us. Can't see them giving up the second we lose Mitoma.

And the great, great, great, great Albion
Are doing fine

I’d like to beat Southampton’s streak of 27 (?) years in the top flight.
So I’ll go with 2044/45.

When the Blooms flower no more,so if Mr Bloom keeps churning the children out once a year for say 8 more years,no need to be greedy,I think the club will be safe when we're in the intergalactic league playing away in a yet to be discovered planet,it may cause a few logistical problems for fans who can't find London Bridge still but hey ho you never know.
I bet I still won't have enough loyalty points for a ticket whatever galaxy we're playing in.
I bet the mullet is back in fashion as well.

This is, for many reasons, why it is more unlikely to happen than ever before. The gap between the two divisions is widening at a remarkable rate imo and it is so rare to see more than one promoted club make the jump up successfully anyway. There is also usually a basket case club to make up the three as well though this may change if FFP starts to get tough.
Last season was an anomaly. Fulham statistically should've gone down and somehow finished tenth, Forest and Bournemouth got out of jail thanks to three disastrously mismanaged clubs. Norwich and Watford stunk the league out the year before immediately after promotion. Fulham, West Brom and Sheffield United (their second year back) went the year before. Norwich again the year before that, and it should have been Villa if it wasn't for a faulty bit of goal line technology in their favour.
Will we have signed Zager and Evans by then? They may save us.

When people stop complaining about getting away from the Amex post match, as this will mean that crowds are much lower, as we are getting beaten every week.
Hopefully not until about 2083.

Indeed. Apart from four seasons they were in the top division for nearly forty years between 1966 and 2004 - and in their brief spell in the second tier they won the FA Cup. We're nowhere near matching them yet.

Six teams have been ever present in the PL - and of them Everton look dubious to last… apart from Spurs the other five have won it, too. And even winning doesn’t guarantee staying power, as Leicester and Blackburn have found.
So we’re likely to be in trouble at some point in the next ten years, probably in the next five. Doesn’t mean we’ll get relegated though, unless the dreaded “too big to go down” mentality takes hold. I would think our current board would spot the signs and act early enough to prevent it. But even so, it will happen someday.
I will go for 2033. Nine years.

Did anyone bounce my prediction that Solly March was about to turn into a goal machine last season when he was still on zero? Actually, come to think of it, I might have done.

Next season, bad injuries and Leicester, Leeds and soton coming up, definitely a harder league than this season.
