As above, hoping Cardiff go down, Fulham too as they fully deserve it. Hope Sunderland stay up, so in that case my other preferred team to drop would be West Brom/Crystal Palace
Don't care if Sunderland go down. Thought they were quite negative at Anfield last week and the time wasting so early on was pathetic. No doubt that Steve Bruce and Martin O'Neil in their time oversaw a process of managed decline inspired by their signings of busted flushes like O'Shea and Brown (admittedly Bruce is more culpable). Di Canio back in September and Poyet are now paying for that period of uninspired management. I actually think less of Poyet's managerial ability as well when he said that we were basically a one man team. Clearly not the most observant of men then as we've been anything but.
I've said enough about Pulis and his degenerative football in the past to know what hopes, or disasters, I wish Palace to come their way but I know it probably won't happen.
Cardiff - great fans, lovely club but an arse of an owner and the second best manager from the Norwegian league appointed above his own abilities.
Fulham - love their presence in the PL but they've looked like relegation fodder since the end of last season. If they had appointed Magath earlier on instead of that charlatan Meulensteen then they could have stood a chance. But then again they probably didn't when you look at how much deadwood infests the club. Probably in need of a good clearout in the championship coupled with strong investment but even at that I'm not too sure we'll see them back immediately such is the deficit in player quality they now have. Hell, they couldn't even beat league 1 opposition in he form of Sheffield United in the FA cup. Gonna be a bit of a trek for them.
