Who do you think will go down in the Premiership this season?
Its gonna be tight for a few teams. But for me Watford and Wet Spam are down and out. The other spot is between Charlton, Sheff Utd, Wigan and Man City. But the likes of Fulham and Villa arnt safe though you'd think they have the quality to see it through.
For me it will be Sheff Utd who go down. Looking at there fixtures they have a tough run in.
Well with eight left, nobody's been mathematically eliminated, but let's face it, Watford are crap. There's absolutely no way they're going anywhere but down. I think the Spurs game was proof enough of that. Looking at the replay of the Robbo's goal, Danny s**ttu made a horrible defensive decision by not at least taking the ball down, which he could have. That said, the ball had so much momentum on it that he would have had an 80% chance of scoring an own goal.
I hope to GOD that West Ham goes down. I hate the club for a) how they treated Craig Forrest when he had cancer and b) the historical signings of two of the game's biggest w***ers, Paolo di Canio and Lee Bowyer by name. DIE SPAMMERS DIE!! By the looks of their internal team situation, though, they're unravelling as we speak, and I don't think they'll survive this season.
Charlton is going to have a really tough time staying up. If they want to do so, the next two matches are crucial, against Man City and Wigan. Because after that, there's only one other match against teams in their range left, and that's against Sheff U. The rest are against far superior sides. Even Reading puts them to shame, and I don't really think that highly of them.
The interesting thing about Sheff U is that they have three tough games ahead, but after that, it's all matches against teams they have to beat to stay up. So their destiny is in their own hands, really.
Wigan may have a tougher time staying up (much to my dismay - the Latics are my second-favourite team in England behind Spurs) because they have more of the high-end tough matches, including a tilt against our Mighty Yiddos. They also have the Reds and Boro, and Bolton have Sheff and Wigan back-to-back.
Man City is really in tough (I'm going to have to hassle my friend Ian about this - he's a City fan:p) because they've got their local arch-rivals United, Liverpool, the Abominations Causing Football Desolation aka Ars*nal, and the Super Spurs all in the last eight.
Fulham has it a little easier. The only matches I'd really be worried about if I were them would be the Filth and the 'Pool. And
maybe Everton. I don't really rate Reading, and the others aren't the high-level opposition that City and the Latics have.
Villa is sort of similar to Sheff U in that they have a lot of matches against teams in the same region as they are - the match against Boro is going to be huge, plus they also have Wigan, Man City and Sheff U. The biggest match they have left IMHO is their season closer against Bolton.
There's one other team I think has an outside chance of a drop, and that's Middlesbrough. They've got United, Liverpool and us to play, and the remainder are against teams that are trying to stay out of the red zone, just like they are. If they can win their first two matches, though (against the Spammers and the Stingless Hornets) they ought to be in the clear.
Newcastle isn't mathematically out of the question, but they won't go down. Heck no.
To be perfectly honest with you, I don't think Charlton is going to make it. If they do, it'll probably be Wigan, or maybe Man City, going down instead, but I wouldn't bet money on it.
