Czechlad Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 Sunderland are finished imo I still cannot believe they sold Sessegnon possibly the only flair and talent they had Just look at that back four Dire Except for Čelůstka of course Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted October 26, 2013 Share Posted October 26, 2013 The whole Florian Marange thing at Palace is laughable. Only a tool like Holloway could buy someone then decide after two games that he hasn't got any pace. Did he not realise the player HE was buying didn't have any pace BEFORE he bought him!? What makes it more amusing is Marange, after he was dumped out of the squad, said that he'd be at the club longer than Holloway, and he was right I thought that was Garvan?

Zatman Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 think at moment 7 of the bottom 8 minus swansea are probably in a relegation battle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coda Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 If West Ham get relegated I'll do a little dance. I'd love to see that stadium they blagged half empty in the Championship. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
privateer Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 If West Ham get relegated I'll do a little dance. I'd love to see that stadium they blagged half empty in the Championship. I was having a little chortle about that prospect myself but my thoughts went as far as Div 1! I know it's unrealistic that they will drop that far but my absolute hatred of the pornopigs and slag warps my sense of reality. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 Fulham look awful, think they will pick up under a new manager. Stoke should also be worried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted November 9, 2013 Moderator Share Posted November 9, 2013 That third spot is wide open. Every candidate for it could also finish 11th. Someone's gonna be very surprised/upset come season's end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
islingtonclaret Posted November 9, 2013 Share Posted November 9, 2013 dk's has beaten me to it on this one: I know there's a long way to go, but Fulham really did look atrocious. Considering Norwich were letting a rot start, they pulled the West Ham game back well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Fulham won't go down. 9 of their 10 points this season have come against Crystal Palace, Sunderland and Stoke. Generally if you pick up wins against fellow relegation candidates (like we were doing from March) you don't go down. They also have the lovely safety net of Crystal Palace at home on the last day. I do agree Jol won't last much longer though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do agree Jol won't last much longer though. Agree with that. A change of manager will probably see a change of fortunes for Fulham. I think Hull will go. Norwich will pick up enough points at home to stay up. When Carroll comes back for West Ham they will pick up. Cardiff could go too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Stoke are in massive danger I reckon. They don't score goals and they've lose the fear factor of the Britannia stadium which has been the rock for their survival over the years in the prem. I do think the time was right to ditch Pulis but Mark Hughes is just more of the same and I'm amazed he's barely changed the forwardline such as continuing to play Jon Walters every game.

Cliffy Biro Posted November 10, 2013 Share Posted November 10, 2013 Far too early to even consider a team as down, sure many had us as bankers in january. You can be shit for months and still survive were testament to that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted November 11, 2013 Moderator Share Posted November 11, 2013 Just looking at the upcoming fixtures and noticed that Palace have the easiest next 4 fixtures in the league (@Hull, @Norwich, v West Ham, v Cardiff). If they're going to get their Premier League season back on track they've 4 games to do it in. If it doesn't go well then they'll be well and truly cut adrift for good. I suspect they'll be cut adrift Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 they are rumoured to be getting Aitor Karanka as manager, could be interesting for Bannan style of play having a Spanish manager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted November 11, 2013 Moderator Share Posted November 11, 2013 Unless he gets £100m in January, that's a hiding to nothing. Although it's all relative of course. By 'hiding to nothing' I mean he'll get paid a fortune, get tens of millions over 3 seasons for being relegated and be one of the favourites for re-promotion. Not bad when you think of it like that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troon_villan Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Where did that Sunderland win come from?? How the hell can Man City go from putting 7 past Norwich to that result? Justifies my decision to never bet on the Premier League to be fair! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
