Which Premiership team do you think will 'surprise' people and be relegated?

[Murray 17]

Each season there is usually one team that drops out of the top flight that few people would have predicted.

Which team do you think it will be this year?

For me it will be Blackburn. With Hughes and Friedel gone, Santa Cruz possibly going, and Robinson coming in, I think they will struggle to stay up.

 

[HseagullsH]

I think it will be West Ham. Not a bad team but i feel it will happen...

 

[Da Man Clay]

Not a chance it'll be West Ham - they'll be about 12th. I honestly cant look past West Brom, Stoke and Hull. Blackburn wont be far away mind.

 

[crodonilson]

Newcastle could be contenders, haven't really signed anyone yet and I'm not convinced by Keegan and the owner seems to want to sell up.

Almost certainly, Blackburn will finish higher than West Ham.

This year it will be Wigan who will be going down

 

[Da Man Clay]

Dont think so. Ince has been chucked in at the deep end a bit too early. Lost one of the main reasons they have been any good for a while. Would be surprised if Santa Cruz doesn't go to Man City and Bentley could still be off.

West Ham have a good enough side (and manager) to finish mid table.

Fulham have been Dead Men Walking for far too long now. They won't escape this time around.

And, yeah, time for Newcastle to do The Walk Of Shame. They've got away with serial sloppy signings for a long time now. They really need a dose of relegation to re-focus their thinking.

 

[Icy Gull]

Hope it's Middlesborough.

 

[surrey jim]

fulham have been doing a southampton and walking a knife edge of late but i think Blackburn will struggle badly. could see them falling out of the prem

 

[¡Cereal Killer!]

I have a bad feeling it will be Newcastle

 

[Gully]

Sunderland.

 

[surrey jim]

Sunderland.

With respect, the thread is which team wil be the "Surprise" relegation. I agree, Fulham and Newcastle are long overdue, they can't just keep rolling a double six at the end of each season forever.

I think 'Boro will struggle and if they fell it would not be a surprise.

But, as a surprise, I think it has the be West Ham.. they have the tendancy to go on a very very bad run.. if its a long one they are sunk

 

[defrocked priest]

I agree with Blackburn.

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

Newcastle - already rumblings about Keegan. Would love to see this but probably ok.

Fulham might not make it this year.

 

[¡Cereal Killer!]

But then again with the signing they have made and are possibly going to make (El Hadj Diouf? ), it is hard to see them going down.

 

[beorhthelm]

relegation is a far more open contest, can see half making a good case. i think the "surprise" poor performance will be Tottenham who had a poor team saved by two strikers who are going. by the time any replacements bed in, assuming they do, it will be Xmas and they'll be struggling in bottom 6 or so.

 

[Jam The Man]

Bolton to finally depart...

 

[Juan Albion]

Can't see Fulham going down. They have a proven goalscorer now.
