Huddersfield are in serious trouble and have been since day 1. Cardiff starting to pick up points, as are Fulham. With all the quality players they brought in in pre-season and now with Ranieri, I'm positive they'll survive. Southampton looking sharper too. I don't have much belief in Burnley, despite their win over the Hammers.

So, if I'm to guess, I'd say Palace and Newcastle had better watch their back, some of teams below them are looking mighty fine.

Said the other day on here, not sure there'll be 3 worse teams than us. We might be able to grind our way to 33 points somehow but we've got no attacking threat. Can't score enough goals, so if we concede the first goal a draw is the best we can expect. Can't see any signings in January either.

I didn't enjoy yours. I like to see all north east teams doing well.
 
Burnley winning today has dragged everybody from Palace downwards right back into it - although I think Palace have a much better side than anybody else down there, they just deperately need a striker that isn't a Belgian Altidore and they'll rapidly climb clear. From Newcastle down it os much of a muchness, although Huddersfield look shite - again, they desperately need a striker, but they need 2 or 3 players really. Can't score for shit, concede soft goals. Relegation combination.
 
Would rather see them struggle year after year in the top flight.Unfortunate if they go down they will piss the league I would imagine

Whenever I have watched the mags they look a bit dull but not a team that will be relegated.

I'd probably agree, although I'd enjoy seeing them go. After 20 games, they are literally the dullest team in the top flight. 42 goals scored by either team in their matches, which is less than anyone else. Defensively, they've been better than Arsenal and Man Utd but only Huddersfield have scored less goals.

I’d rather see them stop up. If we end up in the same division p, unfortunately I can see them being a lot stronger than us.

You know, in your case I actually believe that :)

I dunno.....having experienced the latter for the last two seasons ourselves I think it was harder to take than other seasons we've been relegated when it looked as though we migh t stop up .
 
Feb 23 Huddersfield

Feb 27 Burnley

Both at home. If they are in the bottom three after then, the pressure will be tremendous on the genius
 
They're poor but there are poorer sides down there.

I don't think Palace or Fulham (who will probably spend again this month) will go down and Southampton probably have the best players of that bit of the division .
Huddersfield, Cardiff and Burnley for me.

Starting to get interesting again with Cardiff finding some belief , Burnley finally ditching Joe Hart and Fulham and Saints getting better under new managers. Mags should be worried ?

All of this will not have gone unnoticed in the Cathedral on the Hill.
Nor the resurgence of Manchester under the Noggie I suspect :lol:
 
They can’t expect to just bounce straight back after relegation, should it happen, as many of the previous posts suggest. Last time they sold key players and recouped a lot of the money, they don’t have assets to sell for big money this time. Relegation this time would be a toxic time for the club too, much like ours and they would no doubt appoint a right spanner to replace the Spanish waiter. I think they’ll stay up by a very narrow margin however, which even go to game 38.
