Too Good To Go Down

el punal · Jan 27, 2015

Not a lot going on, so a thread on those Premier League sides who surprise everyone by free-falling into the Championship. Apart from the usual suspects ( those in the bottom three), my surprise package would be Swansea. Stuffed recently at home 5-0 by Chelsea, poor against Blackburn in the cup, selling Bony. Could they be the chosen ones? Mind you Gus's wonder boys might Nick that too.

Newcastle would be the ones to watch in my view, caretaker manager, will prob sell their best player this window.

What about those Championship sides who everyone thinks are too good to go down :albion2:

?

Too good to go down is a meaningless expression. If a club is too good to go down, it won't go down. Far better to say..." who could be dragged into a relegation struggle "
Answer...' plenty of clubs, if they keep losing '

Well you've certainly sapped any fun out of the thread then. Jeez.

Sunderland are none too convincing right now. The Leicester and Burnley boys seem to have better attitudes. Gus at the AMEX next season would be something of a treat !!!

Lifelong Supporter · Jan 27, 2015

Of course were Sunderland to go down, Gus would probably be moved on ..... would give me a smile anyway

SAC · Jan 27, 2015

3 to go down, I think, will be
Leicester, Hull and one from Palace, Villa, Sunderland or Burnley.

None of the above would be that much of a surprise. Everton need to start picking up points soon or else they could be battling the others to keep away from 18th place.

Think Newcastle may well be in a battle but can't see them going down. QPR for me

Munkfish · Jan 27, 2015

Newcastle - I would be very worried with that appointment if I was Newcastle fan.
Sunderland - I think Gus will do enough and end up leaving them at the end of the season and head out to manage in Spain.
Swansea - As mention Bony will be a great loss, you do have to wonder who they will get in as they have realied on goals from Michu and Bony to keep them safe in recent years.
West Brom - Pulis will surely make them too hard to beat for them to drop down the table? however no real striker since Lukaku I do think they might struggle.

Palace play Everton on Saturday, if Palace win they will be 3 points better off than Everton..Everton are right in the mix with a free falling Newcastle IMO.

Burnley for me are shoe ins for the drop

the rest i have no idea

However I would love to see, Palace, Sunderland and QPR go for obvious reasons

Brian Fantana · Jan 27, 2015

I think Hull are in big trouble, Sunderland as well. For all of Burnley's recent fight, I'd be surprised if they manage to keep it up for the rest of the season. Their resurgence seemed to co-incide with Ings coming back from injury. If he was to get another one, they might be in real trouble again.

So, those three to go down I think.

This would be fantastic, however think Palace are too strong to go down and Sunderland will just about escape.

JBenno · Jan 27, 2015

I think one of Leicester or Burnley will stay up and be this years great escape story.

Newcastle have probably got enough points already to stumble across the line although I think they will take it to the last 2 weeks.
Everton will improve.
Palace have unfortunately now got momentum and will stay up.
Sunderland will pick up wins at completely random intervals like they always do, probably at Man Utd and Liverpool etc...
West Brom have the Anti-Football result machine that is Pulis.

I'm going to say - Burnley, Hull, and QPR to go down.

If it's true that there's a substantial additional payment due if they stay up, I'd prefer Leicester and Ulloa to survive.

Yes indeed!
Also be nice to have QPR come down to see how the big the Football leagues balls are when it comes to FFP sanctions.....

Gwylan · Jan 27, 2015

My banker to go down is QPR - they do nothing away and have some tough home games to come

Like Jbenno, I think one of Leicester and Burnley will survive, I'd like both of them to do it but think one will go. As for the other? It won't be Palace or WBA, so Hull, Sunderland or Villa.

I'll go for QPR, Leicester and Hull as my final three. What do we win?

I like the Toon so would be sad to see them drop, however I would LOVE to go and see the seagulls at St. James'.
