Premier league: who gets relegated 2016/17?

[dontcallme]

It's a bit captain obvious but I think the bottom three at the moment will be the 3 that go down - Boro, Sunderland and Hull. I think Leicester and Swansea have too much about them for relegation and I'd imagine only Palace and maybe Bournemouth could get dragged into the equation, everyone else is safe. I wouldn't be against Palace going down at the sake of Hull staying up.

I think you're probably right.

I believe Palace have a difficult run-in but expect Big Sam to get enough results to see them through. Leicester and Swansea are playing with a bit of confidence now and have the quality to stay up.

Interesting to see how far Bournemouth get pulled down. Howe is very highly regarded but this appears a real test for him.

Always been Sunderland, Boro and Hull for me.

Hoping hull gets 3points against Swansea to make things interesting.

Please, not Leeds! Their intolerable fans will be crawling out of the woodwork. I'd rather have Huddersfield and Sheff Wed to piss them off!

Lol I'd prefer big clubs.
I was quite fond of O'Learys team with Viduka, Woodgate, Kewell, Ferdinand, Hart, Bowyer etc. Real young attacking team that fked up the status quo before imploding lol. Liked watching them.
Hope their fans are a bit more humble after what they've been through and are still in.

Absolutely no chance! I'm from a town that's full of Leeds fans and they give it large whenever Spurs get beat for some reason. I think they are probably Yorkshire's equivalent of West Ham fans

i am glad hull won. some pressure on Palace. just makes the race that much interesting.

 

[Shadydan]

Leeds are horrible, Millwall of the North.

 

[riggi]

I'd like Leeds to go up. I prefer clubs with traditionally big support rather than little ones.

Karanka sacked by Boro. Not really surprising as they didn't seem to be attempting to score goals which was an odd approach to the game.

Not sure what anyone can do with them in only 11 games though.

Didn't he criticise the club for not spending in January?

Want Boro to get relegated as their approach is completely uninspiring.

He did, he also nearly got sacked last season when they were top as some of the senior players/chairman were angry

There is also the curious case of Patrick Bamford, he has been at 3 premier league clubs and every manager has refused to play including Boro, the club where he really made a name for himself

My original prediction of Boro going down is looking pretty good. Put £20 on it when they were around 6th bottom and will get £110 back.

They just don't look like scoring.

Sunderland simply aren't improving. They've had a couple of winnable games recently but rarely look like winning. It's almost like they are hoping for 0-0 and once in a while Defoe gets a goal. I really thought Moyes would have organised them better by now.

Hull's turnaround was brief and despite a win against West Ham I can't see them staying up. Got the best chance out the current bottom three though.

2 days ago west ham were 40/1 to be relegated now only 18/1.

West Ham have some tough games coming up. But I can't see the teams below catching the 6 points up on them in the last 8 games.

That said some relegation teams have gone on crazy runs at the end of the season before.

Whilst i agree, that if they beat sunderland, they will prob be safe. There always seems to be a team on a glass mountain that cant stop the rot, Happened to Fulham and Norwich, plus others im sure. It would be so sweet if the spammers fell.

Would be lovely for the bookies to pay out before the last weekend.

 

[Armstrong_11]

Big match this weekend... West Ham v Swansea....

Hopefully they will play the way they did against us tonight.

 

[spursfan77]

Sunderland as good as down, I think bork will join them which leaves one more. West Ham would be hilarious obviously.

I genuinely think Boro are more as good as down than Sunderland simply because they can't score goals. Sunderland might sneak a couple of wins through Defoe goals and give themselves half a chance. Boro just don't look like winning anything at all.

But agree that I don't see either staying up.

Bottom two are gone, I really want Swansea to stay up and I like what Marco Silva is doing with Hull which leaves Palace who i'm non plussed on although them going could mean an easier route to Zaha, Burnley are meh and I like Bournemouth which leaves one team...

Given the choice I'd choose the team managed by Allardyce in 99% of cases, the other 1% being if West Ham could wrangle themselves into the mix.
