18. Wigan..........Got to give up the ghost soon. 19. Wolves........Just a gut feeling 20. West Brom...Bottom three to start....bottom three to finish. WWW.GOINGDOWN.COM
18. Newcastle (Nolan, Carroll and Houghton are the main reasons they did well last year) 19. Swansea (a very entertaining team in championship but might just fall short) 20. Wigan (Martinez is a great manager of a VERY poor team)
It`s probably impossible to guess at this early stage, but here goes. Of the three promoted teams, I don`t think QPR will do very well, what with the troubles that seem to be there. Norwich I think will do quite well and perhaps finish mid table. Swansea might very well be near the bottom, but I think, will just survive (I hope so anyway). 17, Swansea --------------- 18, Fulham 19, Blackburn 20, QPR
I'm a Newcastle fan: If you compare Hughton's record with Carroll, and Pardew's record without him, they're both pretty similar, in fact I think Pardew's might be slightly better (not 100% sure though). Nolan's goals may be a miss, but the rest of his play won't be, too slow for the prem, that's why he's back in the championship. Hopefully neither team will have to play him any time soon (I don't like West Ham)
These all have a chance, Blackburn, Norwich, QPR, Swansea, West Brom, Wigan and Wolves. But my bottom three go to all 3 of the newly promoted teams. 18. Norwich 19. Swansea 20. QPR
