In all honesty I would love all 3 of us to stay up. It would show what an achievement we really made last year, and would stick two fingers up to all this premier league superiority I have had spouted at me for all my young life.

I think we will be fine and end up mid table. We have the nucleus now but with 3, or hopefully 4 more established prem players in Jan, we should have enough to be fine, and hopefully stay above the real battle which will help relieve the stress and allow us to play with less pressure also.
The others have done very well, but i've always thought Norwich would struggle and fall away given that they have done back to back promotions and still have osme players from League 1. At some point they will start to struggle and start slipping imo. Similar to Blackpool, Hull, Boro years ago who all started well then struggled massively.
Hope i'm wrong though as all 3 clubs have something to offer and are a credit to the league. I would like to see the back of Wigan for sure, Wolves and AN other. I would quite like Stoke or Bolton to go as neither are attractive, especially Stoke.Last edited by Del; 07-11-2011, 03:42 PM.

I think the success the 3 promoted sides are having is more to do with a lack of investment by a lot of existing Premiership sides rather than the 3 sides coming up being particularly strong. Look at the likes of Blackburn, Everton, Bolton, Wigan, Wolves etc, they really have not made too many signings of note in the summer and in some cases are coming into this season with weaker squads than previous years.
I think when promoted sides bring in a few new faces there is increased competition within the squad, also the promoted sides are still on a high following promotion. Whereas the likes of Wigan and Blackburn, they have basically the same squads (or potentially even weaker squads) that just did enough to stay up last season.
