Why?

Quite. We have gone from a dull but safe known, to an untried and uncertain unknown.

Pundits and punters go like bankers and traders. They follow stability and certainty. We have neither.

That means nothing in the final analysis, if the new system works and the new players gel. However, no-one will yet put their house on us.

On which, I never bet. EVER. However, I may put a "Leicester City bet" on for us to win the title!

I saw some random tweet from bloke called JWalker based in Canada binging up his credentials with “analytics” in his profile have us finishing 20th!

Even Tony Cascarino, who rarely has a good word for Palace, doesn't think we'll be relegated. He has us down to finish 16th I think.

I'll do a Willo and say that I don't think Brentford will go down, but like others I reckon the battle to stay up will be as intense as the battle for the top spot.

Watford, Norwich and Southampton are my favourites for the drop.

 

Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled.

On the bbc(*spit*) football page, the pundits & the public have us finishing up in 15th. Watford, Norwich & Burnley for the drop.

 

This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise.

and the Athletic pundits have us finishing 14th. Even the Beeb's McNulty thinks we'll stay up.

I get worried when they don't predict relegation for us!

Watford, Burnley and Norwich.

 

Enjoying getting up later and not having someone who knows better than me (apart from the missus of course).

At the risk of making a complete chump of myself, again,my prognostication to be relegated is as follows :

Burnley
Watford
Norwich

Note, NO mention of CPFC !!!!

 
Foxy82 Flag 13 Aug 21 12.29pm

18: The Weed
19: The Seagulls
20: BHA

Although I'd be happy with any order of the above.

One team I want to see go down is Newcastle ... they have flirted with relegation for so long, it must be there turn to go down ... and also I hate the spud-faced chancer Steve Bruce (*spit*)

So its:
Newcastle
Brighton (*spit*)
Watford

Why?

What took me by surprise was that 4 out of the 6 journalists had us for the drop.

I understood the rationale of each, however it seemed when reading through the article the feeling was we would go down.

Not bad at all!

I might have to lump on myself!

Oh no Willo! Now you're thinking we'll avoid relegation not just McNulty and Co. We're clearly doomed now!

1. If Watford are as bad as they were the other day they are surely going straight back down.

2. Norwich sold their best player from last season and Pukki is not getting any younger (and recently had COVID). I can't see where the significant improvements are from last time they were up?

3. Burnley still haven't strengthened significantly despite new owners. Unless they bring some decent players in within the next couple of weeks it will be a tough ask of Dyche to keep them up again. A couple of injuries to key players and they are in trouble. Having said that, when their backs are to the wall they have tremendous grit and determination and some man mountains like Wood.

I have a feeling that we will start the season badly for the first 10 games as we settle the squad down.
Im predicting a safe lower half finish with lots of praise on the way we play for a change.
A couple of the big sides with pick up MASSIVE wins against us because we are playing brave football. It might even be the opening game, I still dont think there will be any reason to panic though

I think there's more in contention that usual this year.

Newcastle, Southampton, Wolves, Burnley, Brighton, Palace, Brentford, Norwich, Watford could all easily drop in my view.

The three promoted and Burnley would be my current favourites of that group.

I agree with this. Certainly at this stage, with the transfer window still open there are about half the teams in he league that are likely to be in the relegation mix and about half that are quite unlikely. Perm any 3 from 10 and any guess is as good as any other for me.

Norwich, Newcastle and Watford for what its worth. The toon have been pushing their luck for too long and a due the big one. I think that might be due to Karma rather than their squad though...

 
Harpo Flag Oxfordshire 13 Aug 21 1.58pm

I'm going for;

18th - Newcastle
19th - Burnley
20th - Norwich

But I think all the bottom half will be bunched up this time.

Newcastle have spent 10 of the last seasons in the PL.
Since they returned after relegation they have spent 4 seasons in the PL finishing 10th,13th,13th and 12th.

With supports back in stadia, they might well benefit from their fervent and vociferous crowd.

 
steeleye20 Flag Croydon 13 Aug 21 2.25pm

Th PL is for the super-rich, this season the gap will be insurmountable imho.

Us - panic then rescue 14/15th.

To go down:-

Everton - (Townsend social media)

Newcastle - (Brexit effect north east)

Burnley - (Dyche raincoat expiry)
