Palace have to go for me look at the squad and what they have let go, has to be the year they go down.

Reckon it could be a tight one this year.

Norwich and Watford I think will bounce straight back down, then the last spot could finally see one of the bog cloggers finally be flushed, Burnley, Palace or Newcastle.

Palace nailed on, Burnley very likely and (god willing but sadly not unless Rafa leaves midway) Everton.

Failing the latter, Norwich. Less trap door more revolving door.

Bobinhood · « **Reply #6 on:** July 22, 2021, 07:06:55 pm »

Went with Everton , Arsenal and Spurs.

Man U should just about stay up unless they forfeit all their games by pitch invasion instead of just those against Liverpool.

Palace, Watford and Newcastle.

Besides Watford of the other promoted clubs I think Brentford have made some shrewd signings and think they'll do well. Norwich have the experience from last time and I think will escape relegation just.

I think Norwich, Palace and Brentford have it sewn up before we even start the season. But I voted for Everton out of respect for their missing thread.

I would've said the same three but I had to fit Burnley in there somewhere, just out of blind optimism.

Brentford / Palace / Burnley

Brentford, Newcastle and Watford. I’m interested to see if Norwich and Farke have a different approach this season to when they were relegated, it would be nice to see some progression from them.

I think Norwich could do quite well, it was injuries that battered them last time and a lack of investment. Farke is a good manager.

Watford will probably go back down. Palace. Brentford.

Burnley and Newcastle probably in the mix again, unlikely to invest. Wolves could struggle, unknown manager, poor season last year.

Ings likely to be off, I just don't see them staying up without his goals.

I think Palace will be OK, I like their recruitment so far but feel it may take a few months to get going properly.

ABZ Rover · « **Reply #24 on:** July 22, 2021, 10:34:23 pm »

Palace, Norwich and Watford. Sneaky feeling Brentford might do OK and Norwich may have learnt enough last time to stay up.

I like someone shouting Leeds, wouldn’t be the first time an inaugural prem season was very good and second not so much. But I’ll go for Newcastle, Brentford, and Palace

MdArshad · « **Reply #28 on:** July 23, 2021, 02:57:49 am »

I think there might be a chance where non of the promoted teams get relegated. Brentford and Norwich play quite good attacking football. Watford have some really good players. Not sure if we ever had a season where no promoted teams are relegated.

I have a feeling where Wolves might go. Newcastle will surely go if Saint Maximin leaves. Hopefully we will also the last of Burnley and Sean Dyche.

Passmaster Molby · « **Reply #29 on:** July 23, 2021, 05:06:02 am »

Brentford I could see being like Fulham last season or Norwich the year before. Good football, will take some big scalps but won't win enough games.

I'd see Wolves, Newcastle, Palace and maybe Burnley the other clubs in the mix at the bottom with the promoted sides. Norwich could be a surprise package with previous experience.

Ideally; City, United and Everton! 🤣

Realistically; Brentford, Brighton and Palace.

Watford, Wolves and Palace.

Feels like a very good shout.

Palace seem to be trying to get relegated.
Wolves cycle at an end, though maybe a fit Jiménez will keep them easily mid-table?
Watford just a guess at which newly promoted team will go down, presumably will have three managers this season at least.

Brentford of the look of an outfit who will stay a few years - attacking football, all their wonkery and decent at unearthing players.

That said, I voted for Everton and Arsenal.

Palace look doomed and then everyone can say how amazingly well Hodgson did. I don't see Vieira lasting long. Watford and Wolves also have the look of managers who won't see past October. One of them will therefore stay up with new manager effect when they pick one of the usual crowd to dog out a few results.

Brentford could be a surprise package if everything clicks. They're similar to Norwich of a couple of years ago though who went straight back down. Norwich now have that added experience.

El Lobo · « **Reply #37 on:** July 23, 2021, 09:12:22 am »

Hard to see past Watford and Norwich considering their previous records.

Not sure on the third but gone for Wolves as a surprise one. All of a sudden that squad looks pretty short. Neto missing for a chunk of the season, Traore well off the boil. Jiminez returning from an awful injury which is surely going to affect him going forward, Silva not looking up to much, Neves off the boil a bit and potentially leaving and a few of their better older players either left or also on the wane (Boly, Moutinho, Saiss). Be interesting to see if they use Mir after his loan, seemed to do well in La Liga last season. But think they'll struggle massively unless they make 2/3 really good, successful signings in that Jiminez/Jota/Neves mould. Over to you Mr Mendes (is he still there...?)

Drinks Sangria · « **Reply #39 on:** July 23, 2021, 10:08:51 am »

Watford - Dreadful squad for this level, no consistency with the coaches, no continuity with the plan they're looking to effect, massive squad churn every summer.

Norwich - Some good signings but don't have the budget to compete or the will to spend in order to compete. Will produce some nice football and good performances and ultimately go down with 32 - 36 points.

Crystal Palace - Some really nice young signings, but no Eze, a disaffected Zaha once more and maybe the biggest squad churn since Leeds 2004. Lost too much experience and the hierarchy has been shown to be ineffective with the large amount of players who were offered deals but chose not to sign again. Small squad and an inexperienced manager who has no real notable successes on his CV at the top level.

Poll

So name your 3.
