Whoever goes down, and assuming it's not us, when you look at who might be coming up, it's encouraging for us next season. I think the pattern of promoted then relegated will continue.

I was thinking the same thing today. That said, it'll be a tighter scrap than the last two seasons, reverting back to the 36+ point mark for safety. I've got no idea why the likes of Ipswich and Southampton thought they could come up, add a few of the better championship players, and just play their own 'brand' of football. Seems like all 3 promoted teams this season have learned where an egotistical championship manager will get you, and have all gone for a tighter style with an emphasis on pace and power in their signings. If I was a Fulham, Everton, West Ham, Wolves or Forest fan right now, I'd be feeling quite nervous.

Everton will be completely fine. Too many match winners in their squad. Just need to find a striker who can score goals and they’ll be back to the good old days of winning the one horse race for the Everton Cup.

I tend to agree, but I know a couple of their fans who think they might end up in trouble if Moyes is around come April time.

Moyes has changed massively since his time with us. His stint at Man Utd scared him to the point he felt like he could only work with people he knew and trusted. Now he’s gone back to basics and knows the best way of winning games is build a solid defence and give free rein to his creative players in the final third. He did the same at West Ham with the likes of Bowen, Kudus and Antonio. I might have been slightly over egging it when I said they’ll be back in for the Everton Cup (best of the rest), but playing like that with the likes of Grealish and Ndiaye will see them comfortable. Then if Dibbling reaches his potential they’ll have all the goals they need to be mid table fodder for the foreseeable.

They remind me a bit of Stoke when they used to stink out the premier league under Pulis. Shaquri on the wing with Bojan up front, and 9 mediocre giants.

I used to despise Moyes after his time here, though that has softened somewhat. But we definitely got the broken version of him, post or possibly even during a breakdown of some sort following on from his time at Man U.

And his post match interview reminded me of what a mood hoover he is. But I agree, they will be mid-table at worst.
 
Wolves
Leeds
Fulham

I know that last one is slightly out there, but I think Silva is struggling and wont last too much longer. They didn't look all that great against 10 man Wolves on Saturday and in all fairness, haven't looked great all season, especially away from home. If their home form is consistently good, then I'd say Burnley over them, but I think they're in for a difficult season.
 
Could not call it at all. I’m not sure 40
Points is enough 😳

West Ham with a monster result.. form is ridiculous

Forest grabbing a point off city.. ridiculous considering they were off for the title
