Next season, my tips..

West ham
Everton

And possibly..

Burnley(due to Europa).. Only possibly..!

I can confirm, non of those 3 will be relegated and quite frankly I don't see how you could chose any of those sides to be relegated instead of opting for the easy choices like Brighton, Newcastle, and Huddersfield.

How? I reckon 1 of the 3 will drop, and all 3 will struggle.

My reasoning with west ham and Everton is its been coming for a while ala Aston villa.. And the reason with Burnley is Europa as I've stated.

Well no... you reckon 3 of 3 will drop. That's why you included them in your original post.

Well maybe I worded it wrong. I meant dark horses as strugglers.

Are you a Burnley fan? I'm confused because you've spent the entire day arguing average basturd players were world class and now saying we'll get relegated?

Rovers from the chumpionship.

We'll be better than we were this season just gone. We're moving in the right direction. We won't go down.

Possibly relegated. You'll struggle is my tip.

It's tough to know who's going down.

Few expected WBA to collapse like they did, especially with Pulis in charge to begin with.
Same at Stoke, who hadn't finished lower than 14th since they'd been promoted to the PL.

I think its naive to expect that you'll keep getting better, and Europa, starting the season early will take a toll on the players.

KRBFC wrote:Are you a Burnley fan?

Nope, they're a Rovers supporter. But they want to be a Burnley fan.

If you think that's naive, never try and become a coach or a manager. Because you'd be wasting your time.

Strange really, I have only ever been on a different teams forum when we're linked with one of their players and I've never considered registering to post.

This thread will drop down the board and disappear pretty quick, but you remember what I've said. Lots of experience of following the game gives me confidence in my opinion on this.

Was that meant for me?
Even though I said it's hard to know who will go down..

You said Bellemy was world class, your opinion is null and void.

No. Uninetional quote.

GodIsADeeJay81 wrote:You said Bellemy was world class, your opinion is null and void.

Just remember.

West Ham and Everton will finish way ahead of us imho

It will be a struggle to survive, initially, I suspect but there are so many variables, fine margins, that could tip our fortunes either way.
As Frank Sinclair argued, our stats weren't brilliant last season and quite a few tight results went our way. Perhaps they won't this coming season.
Having said that, there were several occasions where we wee quite clearly robbed or just downright careless so let's hope we have the luck and stay as injury-free as possible.
I always tend to be a little more on the pessimistic side, that comes from past experience , I guess.
At least I'm a Claret.........

I think anyone outside the top 6 could go down. Huddersfield would be my banker. Cardiff likely. After that one from 12. Would love a West Ham or Everton to be involved if only for the wailing and gnashing of teeth it would bring.

It's funny how Rovers fans were nowhere to be seen on any message board until just a few games ago. Fairweather. Some good teams in the Championship next year so Rovers could be dark horses for the drop and worth a few quid.

We may not get better but relegated? Really? How does the club become a shambles and leaderless with the personnel we have? A few years ago I'd never have thought I'd say this, but I hope we draw Rovers in the cup. Obviously, with all our commitments, it would be a "B" team put out, but I'm pretty confident that our "B" team would sort out your mob with plenty to spare.

You mean like we did last season?

So you're predicting that Burnley will have a good long run in the Europa league then? [That's good].
(It can't have much influence on our league form if we are eliminated at the early stages).

You trot this out about anyone capable of providing reasonable counterpoints in a discussion with you.

It's almost like you don't want people to oppose what you're saying.
Trying to be some sort of facist dictator?

For me it's 3 from anyone outside the top 6. There are no guarantees, a bad start and anyone could be down there but it's the teams that fail to score who tend to get dragged in. I can see why Huddersfield have been mentioned as they were the lowest scoring team to survive.

I trot it out when someone has recently registered and is posting with the exact same style as recently banned users

To be fair, there are posters on here who have changed usernames but have either grown up or realised that they couldn't continue with their previous and its good to see.

UpTheBeehole wrote:I trot it out when someone has recently registered and is posting with the exact same style as recently banned users

With your proclaimed superior intelligence to just about everyone on here and having that knowledge that it is the "exact same style as recently banned users" then it won't be too hard to name and prove which banned users these are/were with examples will it, or is the truth you are a liar and a hypocrite who runs to the mods when you get a bit back.

The truth is you're an abusive poster, using an account set up simply to abuse.

UpTheBeehole wrote:I trot it out when someone has recently registered and is posting with the exact same style as recently banned users

Yet you only trot it out when you face opposition to what you're saying.

Exactly like a facist dictator trying to suppress opposition.

What is a facist?

Someone who's against faces?

I'm not sure if GodIsADeeJay's previous account was banned, but it definitely said it wasn't going to respond to UpTheBeehole any more.

Perhaps that's why they changed their username...

You must stink of irony considering you are about as abusive as it gets on here, but then that is your persona online big man.

Oh do stop it. If you don't want to support a team in Europe go support Rovers.

I suggest to write a stern letter to Sean Dyche and the board demanding that we resign from the Europa to 'concentrate on the league'. After all survival in the PL is the be-all and end-all of football isn't it? It doesn't matter about variety and the possibility that we might actually do well.

Burnley FC are NOT going to be affected one iota by being in Europe other than adding a much needed and interesting string to their bow. If we struggle because of it then what the hell are we playing for?

From a self proclaimed troll that's amusing.

Ah, a wind up. I see by your wording that you aren't a Burnley fan, so who do you support and could you clear off back to your own board.

UpTheBeehole wrote:God Is a Dee Jay is Sidney1st

Nope, however I do know who he is.

Desperately trying to get it back on topic, but as usual, the top six are safe, and everybody else are "potential relegation dark horses"

This is the only account I've ever had, I've already said what my name is.

You can find me on twitter under the same name.

He already does.

TBH, I've never considered Everton to be in much danger of going down.

Sorry, Martyn Cooper
