Who will be relegated?

Wompa1

As a Leicester City fan I am admittidly shocked at the start we have had in our first season back in the premiership. I thought we might just beat relegation if we we're lucky but now it seems as though we could finish in the top half of the table. With that said looking at the table today there is no certain pattern below the top 3...
I was just wondering who everyone thought would get relegated

I think: Wolves, Bolton and Leeds though thats just a guess

Jay Jay Okacha is a legend!

DEG viper

Space Coyote

I backed Leicester in the Spread Betting at the start of the season. I fancied them to stay up because I thought there would be 3 team worse than them (at least). Survival would mean that they would get 40 points minimum, add in the 48 points they were awarded in the spread and they'd be sitting pretty on 88. United off scratch would be lucky to get that. Good bet I thought.
Looked dodgy for a while but now they are starting to get good result. Interestingly, and unlike Portsmouth & Wolves, nobody is giving them a battering and their goal difference is excellent and they have been unlucky in dropping points earlier in the season.
Leeds will struggle but should still have just enough class to stay up. Wolves will go, Portsmouth will be there or thereabouts, as will Bolton. I wouldn't rule Villa out of the drop, but I can see Everton go on a good run and get themselves out of it along with Middlesbrough. Yeah, it'll be Wolves & 2 from Bolton, Portsmouth, Aston Villa & Leicester.

I reckon Wolves, Leicester & Leeds unfortunatly..... always good games man u Vs leeds....


I got a feeling portsmouth have enough to keep em up & villa will go on a run soon enough i reckon, also leeds will probably end up selling again?

Shocking ref today, but we're still in there! As for 40 points I have a feeling it will be lower than that this year, what with 3 teams virtually being unbeatable and if you take into account maybe that the 3 bottom teams could possibly lose to the top 4 teams...either Liverpool/Newcastle....It should be maybe about 36 or 38 pts

We won't go down!

Wolves will go, Portsmouth will be there or thereabouts, as will Bolton.

Is that the same Bolton that beat Chelsea FC at Stamford Bridge ?????:D

I dont think so, Bolton are not a bad team, I agree on Leiscter and Wolves though and maybe Villa.

Yes the very same. Bolton are a strange side & have been since they got back into the premiership. Their record against Man Uts home & away compares favourably with most other teams, so beating Chelsea is not a fair indication of how they will do over the course of a season. They get in (very) good players on loans and short term deals and although they can perform excellently in one off games, they don't repeat it week in week out. They have avoided relegation on the last day or just before for the past 2 seasons and expect them to be in a similar position this time around. They can get themselves motivated for United, Chelsea & Arsenal but expect them to lose at home to Porstmouth, Leicester & Wolves.

Wolves, Leicester, Liverpool.

Well leeds have finally started to prove to everyone that they are not a bad team.They just needed a decent manager to motivate the players and get people like viduka playing like thay can. The last 3 games goes to shoe that leeds will not get relegated.

I think the 3 newly promoted teams will go down.

Wolves
Portsmouth

Their performances on the pitch may have little to do with it if they go into receivership and get 10 points deducted. I believe Prof Mc kenzie is about to/has stepped down as chairman as he in involved in a chinese consortium who are going to make a bid for the club. If that happens and it is accepted I would fancy leeds to stay up.

BKtje

i thought u only lost points in the nationwide divions for going into receivership?
Has someone changed the rules or did someone just mis interpret them?

EM That someone would be moi. My bad it appears that BKDZR is correct in saying the rule only applies to Div 1 and Lower . Apologies

Leicester City
Wolves

I agree with Sposs, cant see wolves portsmouth or leicester staying up. They all have great team spirt, but I dont think that will be enough. They didnt invest enough during the pre-season, it's a shame because I like all three managers:(

mike65

It despreses me but Wolves will along with Leicester and a.n. other.

Mike.

Leeds to survive on the last day !
Liverpool to finish 8th and Houllier Sacked

Liverpool to finish 8th and Houllier Sacked

I think they're still gonna get that 4th spot. They're only 3 pts off it (which is ridiculous considering how rubbish they've been all season). Can ye imagine if they did finish 8th and decided to extend Houllier's contract :eek: :eek: :eek:

Caesar_Bojangle

If Liverpool get that lucrative fourth position. I’m afraid that its going to be a catch22 situation, as I honestly cant see Houllier budging as manager, and he'll be given even more cash to squander. As much as it hurts me to say this, I'd rather see Newcastle get the fourth spot which should ultimately lead to the end of le boss’s reign. His inconsistency is not going to bring the glory days back to Anfield.


The premiership wouldn't feel right without Leeds, Everton or Aston villa. So I hope they all avoid the drop.

Well if Liverpool fail to get a champions league spot again you will lose more than the manager. Michael Owen and Steven Gerrard would want to go aswell as one or two of Houlliers lads, not to mention the loss in revenue.

On the other hand, if they do qualify they will have a lot more money to spend and a very healthy squad. Houllier does make some silly signings but Liverpool have a very good team and only need one or two players to get them back on track to European glory. As Houllier said himself, Alex Ferguson didn't win anything with United for six or seven years and look where they are now.

Liverpool, liverpool and Liverpool !!
