@Oddschecker: Best PL Relegation Odds #BFC - 8/13 #QPR - 2/1 #LFC - 13/5 #WBA - 11/4 #CPFC - 11/4 #AVFC - 7/2 Not even in the top 5! Very strange considering the current lack of signings
More to do with the lack of signings from the rest. Burnley and Leicester's signings look like they are setting themselves up for an instant fall. We arn't that much worse then the first team we had at the end of last season.
That's very generous to put Villa 6th favourites, I'd have them as favourites right this minute. That club looks out of sorts, what's happening this season with Bent? Is he gonna get a game there? I reckon Benteke will be sold if a bid comes in for him at ANY time that suits Lerner as well. Also, I don't expect Liverpool to have as good a season as last season but having them down as 3rd faves for the drop is a bit harsh!
Villa will not go down, as we give them 6 points each season and they will win at Arsenal, Chelsea, Man c but get beat of Burnley and Leicester etc.
I think there's a load of teams ill-prepared for when the season starts, for me though I'd be surprised if QPR make it through the season without a catastrophic car crash episode. Villa also look in bad nick. I fancied Newcastle as dead certs but that Cabella is a game changer, he's absolutely brilliant and they've bought well in other areas. They'll not challenge the top 4 like that nugget Pardew thinks but I can't see them bottom 3 now. Plus I reckon Pardew will be sacked at some point if he goes on a bad run of games this season. For my third team, any of the other two promoted teams I reckon, probably Burnley unless Ings is actually that good.
Villa, Hull and Leicester for me Villa havent really improved from last season and were already in it imo, unless they have benteke for a lot of the season they will struggle Hull i think will do well in Europe which will cause their league form to drop, especially with Bruce's record for second half of seasons Leicester i dont believe have enough about them at the moment, whereas both they and Burnley have spent relatively little but got some players with EPL experience in i think Ings should see Burnley safe. Ulloa for £8m should be interesting
W Hills have this - Burnley 4/7 QPR 2/1 Leics 9/4 Hull 5/2 WBA 11/4 Villa 3/1 Palace 3/1 They have Hull in the thick of it.
Very hard at this stage to say, last season I thought Hull and Palace were dead certs, but both stayed up. One thing for certain is that there are loads of teams that could fill up the bottom 3
Pulis runs too tight a ship. They may well struggle but will be fine. QPR will be fine too the twats. Leicester, Burnley are certs imo, and the other could well be one of about 10 teams including Palace and QPR.
Yeah it's all guess work, plenty of teams could be scrapping down there, I reckon we'll have the table divided into two again this season a bit like last, where no team looks 'safe' in the bottom half. People argue that it's not the best league in the world as well!
My feeling is that they're running up huge debts, talk was they were in for a hiding from the football league if they didn't get promoted, they really did get lucky on that day at Wembley.
