Oh it would be so very sad if Leeds went :lol:

I'd prefer Leeds to stay up. Prefer a northern dominated premier league.

Less southern teams the better imo. Norwich Brentford and Watford hopefully.

Ideally Huddersfield or Blackburn nick the 2nd automatic spot in the championship then another northern club via the playoffs. Boro, Huddersfield, Blackburn or Sheffield United.

In my "dream line up" premier league I'd only have 4 London clubs plus Southampton.

Not Blackburn. Awful away day.
TBF i said months ago, after their good start, Brentford would go down. They play attractive stuff but too open. If we beat them at the weekend, and i think we will, they are right in it. Sadly i think Leeds will be ok when they get Phillips back.
Look like a pub team at the minute.

Sticking with Bielsa may take them down.
They need Phillips back ASAP.
 
Brentford look more vulnerable than Leeds. The Peacocks will concede plenty , but capable of scoring and winning 50/50 matches. Burnley could well bore themselves to safety now. Norwich just won't make it and Watford lose way too often. Hard to see Everton not picking up home wins. Mags have bought safety and will be ok. Brentford just look to have that sinking feeling.
 
Watford, Norwich and the mags will go down

Burnley will have there run now as they always do

Brentford will win more than they lose as will Leeds and Everton are too good
 
People might be forgetting that Brentford have eriksen to come in if he’s ok and gets fit he’s proven to create a tonne of chances

9/2 is a tasty price if you believe it. Lose to Brentford it will be half that. Beat them and, barring a total disaster, we are safe.
Whilst they, like Everton, should be too good to go down i have to say that if Villa lose at the weekend they are also in trouble. Especially so if a few below pick up wins.

Unless Wood by name Wood by nature the plank starts knocking in goals your up against it probably 15 points see u safe which you probably need to get over the next 8 games as your last 4 games are real tough

Can't argue on the 3 of the last 4. That said, hopefully Arsenal are secure in 4th by then. That said everyone from Burney to Villa (i am firmly of the opinion Watford and Norwich are done) have tough fixtures still to negotiate.
 
I feel sorry for Leeds, so many injuries. I'm guessing their back up players are also feeling jaded at the end of a long season.

Blackburn is a top away day imho
 
Can't be arsed posting the fixtures, but by round 29 on 12th of March it should be starting to look like it's sorting itself out. A few bottom teams play each other and a few play top sides. Teams will start to pull away. I think by 19th march round 30, that will be Norwich and Watford effectively gone and then 1 place up for grabs. Although nowt mathematically decided by round 30 you can start to see which teams are gonna get near 36+ points

I tend to see March as the "decider" month most seasons as its rare a team with a bad March has a strong end to the season.

What you really want from March on is mid table sides "on the beach" with nothing to play for. Top and bottom end of the table will be fighting tooth and nail.
 
Gonna be Watford, Norwich and either Brentford or Leeds for the drop.

Can definitely see Newcastle and Burnley staying up.
I thought Burnley were goners but Wegjorst looks a class above Wood so they might sneak out, hope they do

Watford are goosed. Disastrous loss to CP. Not even Hodgy will save them.

Norwich as usual, no chance. Never give themselves a chance every time they get promoted.
 
Theoretically speaking every team up to Crystal Palace is in danger of the drop.
Palace, Leicester, and even Villa appear to be in an obvious fairly comfortable position and will gather points. Leicester's games in hand seem to have them favorites to pull well clear.

However, saying that it depends on injuries and whether bad form can drag those teams into it against maybe a resurgence in form from those below.

It's going to be a dog fight for at least 6 of those 10 at the 33/34 game mark, I think.
I just hope we aren't in it by then.

The woody out, Weggy in was tremendous business for them to be fair.

Apparently they were desperate for Newcastle to "activate" the £25million release clause, even tho it didn't actually come into play until the summer 😂
