I guess this shows I've got too much time on my hands but I've just done a tally-chart on the back of an envelope to find out the bottom half of next season's table according to this Not606 survey. As a norwich fan it doesn't make good reading for me!

Fulham (5 votes)
Newcastle (6 votes)
Villa (8)
West Brom (10)
Blackburn (24)
QPR (31)
Wolves (31)
--------------
Swansea (37)
Wigan (42)
Norwich (43)

Fortunately, this poll counts for sweet FA. I stick by my guns, I think Swansea and ourselves will do ok. Still waiting to see what QPR manage in the transfer market so I am reserving judgement there.

I think it will be a tough season for alot of teams this season. However, we have the advantage in that we are used to winning from a losing position and score many goals in the last few minutes, teams cannot switch off.

Every one of our players will go out there and do their best for this club, Lambert has assembled a fighting squad with determination throughout. If we go down, it wont be for lack of heart.
 
Bolton, look likely to lose yet more of their better players after already losing Elmander (Probably down to his mid-season run of form that Bolton didn't find themselves in the same type of relegation "scare" as Sunderland and Newcastle) Will no doubt lose Gary Cahill. Also, got a lot of oldies in their first team such as Davies, Knight, Petrov and Robinson. Let's not forget they did finish 14th last season.

- Elmander scored about 16 goals in 90+ apps. Good riddance.

- The money we get from Gary Cahill (who isn't as good as everyone thinks he is) will enable ourselves to easily survive in the Premier League and maybe push for a top 10 finish under a young, motivated manager.

- Petrov is a luxury we can't afford to have, Tom Eaves is the new Kevin Davies (hopefully introduced this/next season), Wheater can replace Knight (easily) and Alonso can replace Robinson. Take in mind that none of these are actually TOO old to play consistantly, and this point is invalid for this season anyway.

I don't understand why anyone can think Bolton will go down when they are improving from the Megson era, we're certainly not in decline.
