The table is so tight at the bottom, http://www.bbc.com/sport/football/premier-league/table , who do you think will go down? please log in to view this image I´ve stopped sweating so much about Watford being involved now. Watford play all the currnet bottom 5 in the run-in! I am guessing, Palace, Sunderland and Leicester to go down.
My wish list would be Bournemouth, Leicester, Palace. I think Leicester and Palace will go down, probably with Hull but maybe with boro
After recent results, it's really interesting. Sunderland's thumping of Palace prob makes the latter favourites for the drop I reckon. So Palace for one. We all know that there is no "too good to go down", and I think Leicester, with their current form and its associated trajectory, and that of those around them, also manager speculation, could all too easily fall foul of that. So Leicester, too. Middlesbrough seem to be able to grind out results. If they're not scoring at least they aren't conceding. I think they'll just about get away with it. Surprising as it may seem, I think Moyes has dealt with things so well, shown integrity and been honest, I think he'll pull off the Great Escape. The final place is between the Swans and the Tigers. Who has the greatest will, the most fight? At the moment, I'd just favour the Swans. So number three for me is Hull. But very exciting, I agree. It changes weekly, doesn't it? BTW, I love your title for this thread, Mex.
It's hard to predict - Swansea and Hull have both recently had the 'new manager' bounce and picked up a bit of form. Will it last or is it just for while they are trying to impress the new manager, and their tactics are new so hard to play against for now (along with a low expectation when playing them). Hull have also had significant personnel turnover, losing their top scorer. Palace are truly awful at the moment but not too sure you can read much into the Sunderland result from the Mackem's perspective - it was just a crazy few minutes before half-time - if Defoe gets injured, then might as well say Sunderland are down Leicester you keep thinking are going to come good... but they are pretty much where most predicted they would be last season, so normal order has resumed, as such. I think Middlesbrough will stay up, they have a strong defence and seem to have had a bit of bad luck - just lacking goals so losing by a single goal way too often Although I think they should be safe, Bournemouth better watch over their shoulders. Teams below are picking up points and that gap is closing fast. They seem to have gone to pot since Ake left, and now Wilson is out for the season! Who do I want to go down...? Bournemouth, Palace and Sunderland. Who do I think will go down..? Hull, Sunderland and Swansea
