Three promoted sides.

Another weekend when the 3 promoted sides reps were enhanced(albeit with only 1 point), but more convinced than ever that we can all stay up.
Wigan
Wolves
A.N.Other

 

Dowie was sacked before the next match....

Briatore reportedly marched on to the training pitch at Harlington to tell Dowie which players to select for the following match against Reading. Dowie refused to follow the orders and was sacked in front of the players.

 

Got to say, both Norwich and Swans playing some great stuff and doing themselves proud atm. I'm almost jealous - until I watch us gelling and doing our bit to upset the premier apple cart too.

Rock on! Let's hope it keeps going all season and our 15th, 16th and 17th targets end up more like 9th, 10th and 11th... no harm in dreaming is there?!!

 

You've spelt Blackburn wrong...

 

I was going to say

 

Hang on a minute, the same Blackburn who were robbed at your place?
At least Dick Turpin , wore a mask!
They've a lot of good players, a managerial change might work wonders for them, Mark Hughes could save them.

 

The where 3 - 1 up, and both our goals where lucky but it's also Kean's fault for making subs when his team was playing well. And I'd be surprised if they still have Samba/Hoilett in Jan and without those guys they are toast.

 

Thats the key. They have good players, but they aren't working well as a team.

 

After today's 5-0 and a 4-0 at Sunderland I wonder if A.N.Other is spelt S-T-O-K-E.

 

Well, what a long thread! Just read the lot and pleasant to read opinions, mostly, with people passionate for their team as is right and proper.

As of now, I am impressed with Swansea as an Arsenal in the making. Eye catching football, but the test will come in the second half of the season. Norwich have Prem experience and can score and grind out wins.

QPR are weeks behind you guys. The fact that Warnock played 4:4:2 for the first time yesterday is a reflection, in part, of the players he did not have pre season etc. Obviously I hope we will buy well in January and then only time will tell.

Good thread and good luck to all - except etc etc.

 

to be really really honest, i hope norwich and swansea go down

 

Wigan
Wolves
Blackburn

 

Maida, maybe I am too nice but, having experienced that particular pain, I would not wish relegation on anyone - well almost anyone. Why 'almost anyone'? Millwall!!

 

I wonder what odds you would have got for all three to stay up at the beginning of the season? I think its a real possibility now. I would add Everton and West Brom to potentially be 'A.N. Other'. Everton need to strengthen, but will possibly loose players in Jan. West Brom, although impressive when loosing to Man U and Chelsea at the start of the season have since also lost to Swans, Stoke and Everton. They rely too heavily on Long and Odemwingie.
I also don't think Bolton's thumping of Stoke today automatically means they'll continue to climb the league. Not impressed with them at all this season, even when they beat us 4-0! Plus they'll probably loose Cahill in December.

To sum up, there are definitely enough poor teams in this league for the three of us to survive.

 

still having a punt on Fulham to go down

 

West Brom, Wigan, and Swansea to go down. Swansea are a physically small team and sooner or later it will hit the fan.

 

Thats OK poppet we hate you more, and spending the last 2 Sundays watching you get gaped cheered me up no end

 

Size doesn't matter! Ask my missus!
