AVFC-Prideofbrum Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Think we'll be fine. Palace and Hull I think are goners. Then I think between Stoke, Cardiff and I hope not but possibly Southampton. Maybe Norwich as well to be dragged in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted June 7, 2013 Moderator Share Posted June 7, 2013 Am I the only one who sees Southampton as nailed on? Apart from the first few games under Pochettino where they kept the Adkins momentum they've been absolute gash. I think they'lll crash and burn.I'll say Palace too even though I don't put it past Hollywolly to do a miracle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvfcTheObsession Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 We could easily be in a similar position next season if we lose Benteke. We'll be looking to sign lower league players on low-ish wages again, and that generally doesn't have you competing in the top half of the table.

PussEKatt Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Palace,Hull and Norwich for me.I think Cardiff will stay up cause they will pullout all the stops because of Swansea. My dream scenario would be Chelski and Everton to go down. Maybe, next season ( for Everton ) anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Voinjama Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Am I the only one who sees Southampton as nailed on? Yes. A slight possibility that they will go down, but it's not nailed on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll say Palace too even though I don't put it past Hollywolly to do a miracle. Little harsh, 19 points from 16 games compared to 22 from 22 under Adkins. Only last two out of his last 10 games. First 8 games - 9 points. Last 8 games - 10 points. So I think your conclusion is unfair, not to say I don't think they could be in the mix but I think the criticism is harsh and they've been fine under Pochettino and could argue they may have picked up even more points had they not been pretty much safe with 6 or so games to spare.

LockStockVilla Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 I thought Swansea were gash after they won the League Cup and Michu cooled off...they could really struggle if Michu does fail to replicate his goal tally again next season. Even more so if Laudrup ends up walking over his dispute with the Swansea board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
P3te Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Palace rock bottom - they'll do lucky to get to 20 points IMO Stoke 2nd from bottom just behind Hull, and Southampton and Fulham escaping by the skin of their teeth. Cardiff will do alright I reckon, but go down the following season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voinjama Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Crystal Palace already doomed I think. I think that would be their 5th relegation from the premiership. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adkins took a while to get going, they were crap at the start, like us, but once he got going they were (relatively) flying, then he was dumped while on the crest of a wave. They got 18 points from 12 games with only 2 losses in that spell. And Pochettino didn't win one of his last 6 league games. That's the momentum loss I was referring to. I accept that I probably am being a little harsh on them, but I think they're worth a bet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOF Posted June 12, 2013 Moderator Share Posted June 12, 2013 Am I the only one who wants to see Hull stay up?Why? They've no-one I particularly like, a manager I particularly dislike (or rather one I love to see fail) and no-one I knowsupports them or has any ties to them, so to me they're completely irrelevant.

CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 It's hard to tell before the end of the transfer window. A signing like Gaston Ramirez or Benteke for any number of clubs could be that little bit of quality to just keep them up. I do think Palace will struggle, though.

Jimzk5 Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 West brom please. Seeing the players doing a lap of honour with a banner saying "pride of the midlands - we know what we are" was incredibly pathetic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to Soton fans he's hardly set the world alight tbh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
