Relegation Battle

[magneto]

We're nearly half-way through another season (how it has flown!)

 

Who do you think is going to go down and who do you WANT to go down (realistically).

 

Lets take it from 12th down to 20th

 

Wigan 22pts

Newcastle 22pts

Man City 20pts

Sheff Utd 20 pts

Blackburn 10pts

Boro 17pts

West Ham 17pts

Charlton 12pts

Watford 11pts

 

Personally I'd love to see Boro, Charlton and Watford to go down (I cannot stand the Boro away fixture!)

I can see West Ham becoming like last season's Portsmouth (surviving the drop).

 

I think Charlton and Watford are dead-certainties to go down...but I am not sure who else could do it. I don't wanna see Wigan go down as I like Paul Jewell.

[Serko]

why aren't blackburn bottom, if they've only got 10 points?

[magneto]

Sorry they have 20 points.

 

 

 

19 points

[Andy Mac]

By far the two worst teams I've seen play this year are Watford and Charlton. In my opinion they'll go down then I reckon its between Boro and Sheffield Utd for the 3 spot.

[Benitez]

Defo Charlton and Watford are going.

 

Charlton are utterly gash. And last time I saw Watford (few weeks ago), they where equally appalling, Boothroyd and Les Reed both seem to have one style and that involves Bolton-eque hoofing, but without the hard work and desire in Charlton's case, and without the quality of players in Watford's case.

 

After them two, my peference for the drop would be a southern based team, or Boro!

 

Sheff Utd are really doing well, been impressed with them actually, fair play to Warnock. So I hope they stay up, and I hope Rovers stay up, and expect them to do so.

Charlton

Watford

Boro (that would be nice)

[Gilps]

Charlton, Watford and Boro.

[jimmylibel]

Would love to see Newcastle go down but I reckon it's more likely to be Charlton, Sheffield United and Watford. Boro will turn a corner once they sack Southgate.

 

Charlton going down could be good for us if Rafa still has his eye on Darren Bent.

[Raj]

I think Charlton, Watford and Sheff Utd will go down.

Think Boro will just squeeze out of it.

 

But I would love it if Newcastle were relegated.

[Gunga Din]

i can see Wigan getting dragged into it. they are appalling

[Ostrich Man]

dont know how its got this far with UTD being mentioned.

 

now if andy was here...

[Bigal]

United everton and chelsea to go down

 

however it will be

 

charlton, watford and Boro

[Leo No.8]

In the pre-season predictions I said Charlton bottom, Watford second bottom and Sheffield Utd third bottom after putting up a brave fight. In all honesty I wish I'd put a few quid on that because despite United's recent good results, their squad is very thin and I can still see them filling that last relegation berth.

 

In terms of who I'd like to see go down, I'd say Boro (just don't like them as a club), Sheffield United (Horrible manager, equally horrible fans) and Newcastle but they look to be pulling away from it now. Incidentally I also said Reading, who many thought would go down, would be top half at Christmas which is looking like being true.

 

I'm great on the relegations, not so good at the top - seem to recall I said we'd win the title and United would finish fourth! The lesson there is try to be objective and never let your heart rule your head when making predictions...

But I would love it if Newcastle were relegated.

 

I'm rooting for Barcodes as well. Go on then lads, you tynesiders can do it.

Long way to go yet

[Guest Anders Honoré]

i'd love for newcastle boro and watford to g down.

 

think it will be watford, charlton and sheffield/blackburn though.

[Bootle Buck]

I think Charlton could survive if they get rid of Reed ASAP and bring in Pardew. However based on today's form, strength of squad and experience it would have to be

 

Sheff Utd - Even though they are playing well now

Watford

Charlton

[kacangpool]

Long way to go, but I have faith in Newcastle. They won't disappoint.

[floyd]

I think Charlton could survive if they get rid of Reed ASAP

 

but he's just signed a 3 year deal. Murray at Charlton, must be regretting that

[growler]

everton, newcastle and boro would be perfect. it annoys the hell out of me that when teams like the bitters and newcastle have poor seasons and could be at risk other teams decide to be even worse to let them off the hook.

 

I just think that if everton went down, we would never see them again.

[Herbie von Smalls]

it wouldn't surprise me if man citeh ended up going down this time.
