Was having a discussion in the pub yesterday afternoon with a Sunderland supporting colleague. He fully expects it to be the three that come up going down again and it's hard to not agree with that. The gulf between the prem and championship is getting bigger as each year goes by.

Is it time we mix up how relegation works and introduce relegation play offs? Something like bottom two go down automatically then the next four teams go into a play off, semi and then final....Loser goes down? Thoughts?
Works in Scotland and non league (I believe).

I have a feeling Burnley may surprise people this time.

Last time round they played pretty football but didn't have the players to execute this at the top level.

This time, they are built on a solid defence and that will give them a better chance of survival - a bit like our Hughton years

I'm sure @dsr-burnley will give us an honest view on this rather than a claret tinted one.

Yeah, but... Scott Parker

Realistically who knows but an argument could be made that Sunderland and Leeds will probably go hard in the transfer market to maintain their Premier League status so I'm going:

Wolves
West Ham(or Palace depending on the European toils and injuries)
Burnley
 




Albion and Premier League latest from Sky Sports
