I do hope we get out of the Championship this season, as it's fairly certain now that it will be :

Villa
Norwich
Sunderland or Newcastle
As their all at least six points adrift now.

That will make getting up next season harder than EVER ?

They're all rubbish and saddled with huge salaries though. And history shows relegated teams more often than not don't bounce back quickly.

Out of those you would think that Norwich are the best equipped to bounce straight back - like Hull and Burnley this season they're not long out of this league and look best to hold onto their better players.

Others look destined to struggle. Once you takeout the one or two top players from each that'll probably leave, they each look mid table championship standard.

The Aston Villa owner does not seem very interested in the club.

At least two games at the arse end of the country for Sky to move the kick off for as well. Should we not go up of course.

For the purposes of this post Birmingham is also considered proper North, geography be damned.

Villa are TERRIBLE, they'll be lucky not to go straight down to League One.

no, more like QPR, Fulham, Cardiff, Blackpool, Wigan, Wolves, Blackburn, Bolton... teams that get relegated are poor, team morale is low, few good players leave, finances are stretched as parachute payments cover existing premiership wages. recent seasons one goes back up, some seasons two, some none.

Oh right, it's good that Burnley and Hull aren't in the mix for promotion back to the PL this year then. Phew! I thought we were going to have a fight on our hands to get ahead of them.

So the almost unanswerable question? Who out of Sunderland, Newcastle and Middlesbrough will we be playing next season?

bet 365

Middlesbrough 2/7
Newcastle 5/6
Norwich 15/8
Brighton 2
Sunderland 9/4

Middlesbrough are the bookies best bet to be in the Premier League next season. Norwich and Sunderland are least likely to stay up to be replaced by Hull and Burnley.
Worst odds for Middlesbrough to replace Sunderland.

Could you imagine what the sense of mourning would be like in the north east if both Sunderland and Newcastle were relegated.

No worse than usual. Villa look like a basket case so they probably won't recover for a couple of seasons. Norwich are a yoyo team. They're not a 'huge' club but are well run and know how to get back up. Newcastle and Sunderland are big clubs but both have problems at the moment.
