Premiership Relegation

Who do you think is going down?

I've got a vested interest, being a Southampton fan, but was looking for an unbiased view and was wondering what most people on here think (can't see there being too many Saints, Canaries, Eagles and Baggies on here!).

I fear it will be the three that came up that will go back down, I'd love to see Crystal P and West Brom stay up I think they've gave their best and deserve something out of the season. Whoever loses between Nowrich and Palace on Sat are down if not already. I'd like to see Southamtom go down cos they have not improved for a long time and offer the premiership very little same said of Blackburn but they look like they are going to pull away unfortunately. Porstmouth are taking a risk with a new manager who dowsn't know the teams they are playin aganist but sometimes its incentive enough.

Not alot of Irish at any of these strugglin clubs which is great to see.

its 3 from 4 (well unless Fulham have a huge slide) so why not have a poll as to who will stay up?

Very hard to call, I would have said Norwich were dead certs to go down and Palace decent bet to stay up, but this weekend turned that on its head, in their next fixtures they play each other, whoever wins that will be in a great position. IMO Norwich and Palace have easier run ins than the other two

Here are the run ins as at end of 10th April '05

Norwich Pts=23, GD= -31
Away Palace
Home Newcastle
Home Charlton
Away Southampton
Home Birmingham
Away Fulham

Palace Pts=26, GD= -21
Home Norwich
Away Blackburn
Home Liverpool
Away Newcastle
Home Southampton
Away Charlton

Southampton Pts=27, GD= -17
Home Villa
Away Bolton
Away Pompey
Home Norwich
Away Palace
Home Man Utd

West Brom Pts=28, GD= -21
Away Tottenham
Away Boro
Home Blackburn
Home Arsenal
Away Man Utd
Home Pompey

I really think Fulham could be one of the teams to get relegated the way they are playing at the moment.

I think it will go down to the last day of the season which makes for good for fans who don't support those teams.
I would hate (and have hated when) if my team were in a last day relegation battle.

Well seeing as we were in Europe last year, and finished 8th the season before last, I fail to see your point.

Besides, spare a thought for Rory Delap.

Can't see Fulham in the mix.

Very much three from four, I don't think Norwich are strong enough, despite the big win on Saturday. Baggies just don't look good enough but up until two weeks ago I'd have said Palace would stay up now it looks like the three up will be the three down. I think Harry Redknapp will keep the Saints up.

I think they are and WILL be relegated.... Crap players on to much wages who couldn't give fcuk. Serves them right. New Fulham manager nxt season after Coleman is sacked.... George Graham

I thought Palace would stay up but after the result (and performance) Vs Everton, I'm not so sure.

They are home to Norwich next (big of a kickfest there methinks...) & anything less than a win & I think they are done for

My mate is a big Palace fan so I wanna see them stay up for his sake.
