One of the bottom teams, i reckon Fulham will crack first and fire their coach, the investment is too huge, it would ruin them to go down again... they will get Sam Allardyce in and he will probably do the business for them.

Newcastle, Burnley i can see pulling away.

Cardiff and Hudds are down regardless - only a miracle will save them.

That leaves southampton, us and i hope.... brighton, battling it out.

This was once a quality forum....

I thought so

Responsibility Deficit Disorder is a medical condition. Symptoms include inability to be corrected when wrong, false sense of superiority, desire to share personal info no else cares about, general hubris. It's a medical issue rather than pure arrogance.

The unpalatable truth is we have never replaced Murray. No matter what your opinions are on the Murray saga, the fact is he scored us goals, no one has since.

Sorloth is not up to it, Wickham is made of glass, and Benheskey couldn't finish a 4 piece puzzle. We are better (potentially) than at least 5-6 teams in the prem which should see us comfortable come May.

However that is on the basis that we come up with a striker who isn't a has been, can score, and isn't made of glass. Because if we don't we could easily get relegated with Fulham/Huddersfield and Cardiff.

What pisses me off, is we have been in this league a good while now and have we progressed at all ? In real terms I would argue no we have not, meanwhile you have the likes of Wolves, Bournemouth, Watford, Burnley, Leicester and even the weed who are building and improving each year, all of whom we have been in the prem longer than.

We always f*** up in the transfer market, and somehow have jammed survival each year. How ever if we don't find someone who can score goals in the window I do honestly think we will struggle to stay up. Goals win games.

And I think it's far too early to rely on 3 teams being worse than us

It think you are looking at this through tinted glasses.

There is absolutely no evidence that Newcastle, Burnley or Fulham are any more or less likely than us to pull away from the relegation zone.

Just like there is little evidence that Brighton are going to get dragged back into it.

A lot of clubs haven’t worked out how to be jammy and finish 10th and 11th in the Premier.
You highlighted some clubs, but fail to mention established clubs that succumbed to relegation ie Villa, Swansea, West Brom, Stoke etc, all were in the Premier before us.
