What about them? They both just about stayed up in their first season’s back/in the premier league.

The point I’m making is that most teams coming up will struggle to stay or or just go straight back down. What Wolves did last season is very, very rare yet the way the Villa fans are carrying on cos they’ve spent a bit of money, you’d think their heading for Europe. Like Fulham fans last year.

The two words that make me think 'next'...

Although you could be talking about the next Tory leader.

Bournemouth finished 9th in 16/17 with 46 points; Watford were 17th but had 40 points and 6 points above relegation with vastly superior GD. Don't call that 'just about stayed up'. There are shades of staying up, albeit Wolves were exceptional.

I don't disagree with your point about Villa, particularly because the record of PO winners (except Palace, of course) is especially poor, but I think there has to be some acceptance that some teams do come into PL and naturally survive.

17 3/4 days left.

3, preferably 4, new signings required.

The Knockaert loan and sale has set us back badly.

Need to stop messing around now.

I'll be interested to see if the club has another signing lined up after such a popular player has just left!
