Premier League Relegation Battle 2014/15

Out of the Premier League?
Regardless if we go up or not, there will be 3 that depart the Premier League. Its Its just as tight there as it is where we are. So who do you think will slide?
I'll go for:
Burnley
Hull
QPR

 

Can see Sunderland struggling. Would love Dyche to keep Burnley up, definitely.

 

Leicester
Burnley
QPR

 

Hull - The run in is ridiculous for them 6 games left and they have to play Liverpool, Tottenham, Arsenal and Man Utd. Bye bye. Spent massively in the summer as well, ouch.
QPR - Good riddance.
Burnley - Shame.

Leicester to survive on the last day of the season.

 

Hull, Sunderland, Burnley.

 

**** will keep them up

T'Burnley
Hell
QPHahahaha

(Wot no vote?)

 

I would actually like to see Leicester go down tbh. Nothing that they've done, just seems to me that they're the relegation battle's Bournemouth - all the media want them to stay up and give much less focus on the other teams in the same fight.

 

Anyone who can't spend too much over the Summer, we'll need all the help we can get if we get promoted and ideally i'd like to be playing against teams that can't go out buy 6 players in the January transfer window.

 

Hull are goners

I'm going to write this line into this year's pantomime.

 

Oh no you're not!

 

oh yes he is

 

QPR - good
Burnley - shame
Hull - meh

 

No, that's Arsenal.

 

Newcastle
Burnley
QPR

I cant see where Newcastle will get a win from, while others have the chance to pick up points (including Sunderland), Think Hull will just survive.

 

Hull
QPR
Leicester

Fancy Dyche to pull off a miracle (but that might be just wishful thinking since I dislike the above three clubs).

It'd be a fitting end to the season if we go up as Hull come the other way.

 

Hull have no chance ...

I don't care about the EPL until next season.

 

No thanks, I'm going to hold out for a Carry On film

 

Would love to see Hull go down and us go up. Who was the Hull player that did that silly little dance into the camera when they realised they'd got promotion over us? Little twonk

 

You still wouldn't care.

 

That has to be the campest thing I've ever seen. It could only be out-camped by the crowd singing "Stung by the Hornets" thrusting their bottoms on each beat of the song. FFS don't tell the 1881.

 

Watford
Boro
Derby

 

Hull and QPHaha are goners. Hull because they can't really seem to find a win and their run-in is horrific. QPHaha because the mentality at the club is just defeatist. The only game in the last 5 they looked like they wanted to fight and could've got something from was the Chelski game and they let Fabregas score in the 88th minute. As for the final spot, I think it's gonna be Burnley, although Sunderland could easily "gatecrash" the relegation zone.

Looking at Hull and how they've spent this season, it's actually ridiculous as to how they're in this position in the first place. They splashed the money on what seemed to be decent signings, but have royally screwed it up. They spent 8 mil on Livermore, Snodgrass for 6 mil, Ince for free (but it's very likely he's on huge wages), Maguire for 2.5 mil, Robertson for 2.85 mil, Dawson for 3.5 mil, Lenihan for 200k, Hernandez for 10 mil, Diame for 3.5 mil and N'Doye for 2.6 mil roughly (median of 2 figures that are quoted). So in essence, just under 40 mil was spent on transfer fees alone in the two transfer windows. Then couple that with the wages from the acquisition of Ince, plus Ben Arfa's and Ramirez's loans there (again, both are going to be on huge wages), as well as the wages of the aforementioned signings and wage increases from contract extensions/renewals and the amount of money that Hull would've spent in total this year is sickening.

Thank **** we have the Pozzos if we go up.

 

In PL terms that's pretty small change considering the prize.

 

The reason that Hull are doing so badly is that Bruce is a crap manager. Always has been and always will be.

 

I actually made this comment on the Leyun thread, which is very, very similar. Looks like it is finally catching on!

 

Shocker. Absolute shocker.

 

I honestly didn't read the post but please take the full blame/credit for anything it results in. I'm begging you. Please.

 

Yeah fair enough when you're comparing them to Chelsea, who would spend 40 mil on one player alone for example. But for a team that wants to ward off second season syndrome, the amount of money they've spent is too much and just seems to me like they've taken the "kid in a candy shop" approach. I doubt Palace have spent that much and they seem to be doing fine

 

To me that's obscenely high for a club that until seven years ago had never even played top flight football, their average league position isn't that much better than ours. Never realised they were minted enough to splash all that money, and it's especially surprising that they managed to bounce back so quickly after relegation after I thought they'd do a Bradford (especially when they were lumbered with a crippled Dean Windass' wages after failing to get medical insurance for him).

 

I wouldn't mind seeing Leicester stay up. Out of the relegation battlers they've played the best football.

Have been rooting for Dyche the past few months and I think they'll stay up, not through good football but because they've got Dyche rallying the troops every match.
