Is it PotG?
Thrifty non-licker
It's a game of two halves, ask me after the Watford game.
Right now, I'll go Sheff Utd, Norwich and Burnley.

Villa on paper are signing good potential players, albeit always a risk but I like Smith as their Manager and think they'll finish comfortably mid table.
I think Norwich will end up bottom and then a fight between us, Burnley, Sheff Utd and Newcastle (unless they end up spending a lot of money). If Zaha goes then Palace could be in trouble too. My surprise side who could be in trouble is Watford, they had a great season last year with a squad that excelled. Not sure they can do it again.

Inexperienced?? He's been a manager since 2010 and beaten Arsenal at the Emirates

Newcastle.
What was their 3 biggest assets last season? Perez, Rondon and their quality manager.
All gone.
Sheff Utd
I won't pick Norwich as I think they are a bit more street wise. Sheff Utd's attacking centre backs may well be their downfall in the prem.
Palace(if they lose Zaha)
Says it all really
Now watch as I get all 3 wrong
I reckon Chrissy Wilder will switch it up a bit this year and weirdly fancy him to surprise a few teams. Norwich are too sexy to go down. We are going to be mid table.
I agree with Palace and Toon though, and will throw in Villa just for the **** of it.
Are they really?
They've just spent FIFTY MILLION POUNDS to buy three decent Championship defenders, in Targett, Konza and Mings, not one of whom would get in our starting XI.
Just wasting a shitload of cash without improving their TEAM so far as I've seen.

We'll see, I think they'll be fine.

Don't wait for me!
For me:
Newcastle
Burnley
Sheff Utd
Newcastle
Burnley
Sheff Utd
Bournemouth somehow made 17 million on a player that player 15 times for them.....
mad
Agreed. Villa were stuffed full of loans and only went up via the playoffs. They're panic buying and will be in the mix for relegation.

Do we know which of these players went to Austria with the main squad and which went to Portugal?
Blue Valkyrie
Not seen such Bravery!
All those mentioned - except Băluţă who is having time off after the Euro U21 championship - went with the main squad to Austria, along with Max Sanders and Robert Sanchez.

Unless ones glass is more than overflowing we have to be nailed on for a bottom 3 place. The lack of any meaningful investment in the side & aging Murray won’t keep us up. Regrettably bottom place looks nailed on for us. Still the sun is shining in Sussex today!

I'm sure we will be on lots of other fans forum threads similar to this as relegation candidates, we do have a crumb of hope in actually not knowing what to expect in regards to style of play, and have very little knowledge of how good a team we could of been as a more attacking unit so it's pure guesswork from our point of view , i honestly expect Brighton to score far more goals this season but i fear a Blackpool style of play to go with it leaving gaping holes for opposition strikers to dance their way through at will .
Newcastle look like a team ready to drop of the face of the earth unless their delightful owner has a sleeve full of Aces in the last 3 weeks of the transfer window .
Sheffield Utd , will fight and scrap for every point and will be hard to beat at home so i think they may well survive this season .
Norwich to me are this seasons Fulham and will be picked off too many times and will concede bucket loads to the top six , they will go down .
Villa will invest heavily in January if they start poorly and will survive comfortably .
Burnley are one of these clubs that always seem to punch well above their weight , but i think it will be between them Brighton and Southampton for the dreaded drop .
18th One of Burnley - Brighton - Southampton 35 pts
19th Newcastle 33 pts
20th Norwich 30 pts

Latest odds suggesting it will be 50/50 we go down ..
No...still around 2/1 with most bookies. Hasn’t changed much since the end of the season.

The 3 who came up look the most likely to be the ones going back down with maybe Southampton being the other most likely to replace one of them.
Burnley and Palace just have a habit of doing just about enough and Newcastle despite the current situation will end up attracting a decent manager

Yes. In one season They made the Europa League.
But outside of that in last 5 years - . its 2 seasons where they've finished just above relegation by a few points and one season where they didn't do just about enough. -relegated with 33 points and that was only a few years ago.

For you maybe but the bookies are far more generous with their definition of "nailed on" . ie: its not.
