    I think Villa, Bournemouth and Newcastle will be for the drop.

    Villa for sure. Sunderland probably. Newcastle or Norwich. Swansea not really safe either.

    I think the January transfer will be crucial - but Villa are now cast adrift and I just can't see them surviving ...

    Will reserve judgement on the other two until after the transfer window closes ... but am leaning towards Spurs and one of the Manchester clubs <laugh>

    Leicester will be ok this season. They have dealt with their inate nature to be serial relegation candidates, in an impressive manner, by amassing 40 points very quickly. Since then they have dropped off. This fragile mentality does not bode well for the future. Not quite relegation candidates but a mid table finish is looking sweet just above Chelsea.

    Villa for sure, Sunderland aren't looking like they are turning it around but they do seem to pull themselves together in just about enough time to avoid relegation in recent years so I'm not convinced they will continue to sink, but they've got to be prime candidates.

    And for the third maybe Newcastle who have been **** except for a handful of games but I feel they could still turn it around and if they do its Norwich for the drop.

    Though thinking about it.... Bournmouth could easily fall apart and get relegated I think.

    Swansea I expect to sort themselves out and get out of danger though.

    <laugh> ... undeniably true .. that recent run of fixtures against the 'Big Boys' has put us firmly back in our place .. those losses away at Liverpool and Everton and at home to Chelsea, Man City, and Man United, as predicted by many 'knowledgeable pundits', have oblterated any delusions of grandeur we might have been holding ... :emoticon-0101-sadsm

    Whilst Spurs victories against Chelsea and Everton and their crushing of The Toon have, in contrast, highlighted their North London power shift credentials ..:emoticon-0136-giggl

    It depends on who does what this window, but I'll go with the consensus and say Villa are down. Allardyce has form for escaping the drop but he's always had the summer window, Newcastle are hot and cold, and Swansea can't score, so 2 of those 3. I think both Norwich and Bournemouth will stay up due to their squads 'togetherness'.

    Villa will struggle to win another game so are doomed already.
    then it's Newcastle and Sunderland to go down so they can join Boro* in the Chumpionship.

    Villa...2nd worst prem team ever behind Derby from 07/08 season
    Sunderland...sorry for Defoe and Kaboul but I really want fat sam to get relegated
    Swansea...sacked their manager, failed to get any of their targets and are leaving a caretaker manager in charge...that looks so dangerous to me...shame cos un like any fat sam team they play decent football.

    Villa and Sunderland are already down.
    Between Newcastle, Norwich, Bournmouth and WBA for the other slot :emoticon-0107-sweat

    Villa are done for. Hopefully the other two who go down are Sunderland and Newcastle, but with Fat Sam in charge, Sunderland might just pull through in the end, probably dragging Norwich down.
