For me, down. They've signed a grab bag of at best unproven talent and at worst rubbish which, even if it were any good, would still take time to integrate into the team. So far as I can see, most of their arrivals are no better than the players they're replacing The only player they've picked up that I'd rate is Wilf, and tricky wingers aren't exactly the sorts to turn a relegation battle. Solskjaer really has shocked me so far given how highly rated he was...maybe he'll prove me wrong but if he is a top manager then he's going to have to show it by winning the Championship next year.

Increasingly for me, its Fulham, WBA, Stoke and Cardiff to provide the three that go down. Why? Because they've got the four managers least equipped to guide them through a relegation battle. I don't particularly rate Hull or Norwich, but I'd take Bruce or Hughton over Mel, Hughes, Solskjaer or Meulensteen in the crunch. TP has proved it's the manager, not the players, that keep you in with a chance.

Do you mind if we respond tomorrow, it just I think most of us are pissing our pants on TT at the mo.

I bet they said that about us at the beginning of September.

Cardiff are going down the QPR road, and bringing in anyone that wares football boots.

Note second paragraph. Unless they're planning to replace Soskjaer, in my view they're down.

We didn't have TP in September and they didn't have OGS either.

I hope they go down even though Wilf is now with them.
He can experience the high of promotion and the sorrow of relegation (tempered by the fact that it doesn't matter as he will be going straight back to Old Trafford!!!!)
West Ham and Stoke to join them would make my season complete!

Which actually might work out very well for us. Zaha was never going to be allowed to come in this window but we stay up with rent-an-Ince for four months, Cardiff go down, and Pulis' proven Premiership Palace buy Wilf back permanently in the summer.

this isnt september we are halfway through the season I like the idea of cardiff going down and us getting Wilf back. Pullis has come through again.

Palace to stay up
Ince to leave for Liverpool
