I'm finding it hard to pick the bottom three this year. Most people 'safely' go with teams just promoted, which is admittedly most likely this year, they look the weakest. But if any of those three clubs get out of the frame, i think it leaves a lot of other clubs close to the edge this year.... and every year it seems one of the promoted clubs gets away with it and surprises the experts.....

MULTIPLE ANSWERS AVAILABLE but please only vote maximum of three times!

For example, the list above is missing Newcastle, West Ham, Everton & Fulham, all capable of a melt down season.

I can see it being the 3 new teams. However as a Geordie I think we stand a decent chance of going down due to a lack of investment and Ashley getting rid of decent back up players like Perch and Simpson. Hopefully Stoke take our place tho.

As a Palace fan, I say Stoke, Hull and Fulham...

I'm trying to be optimistic but we've never stayed up since the premiership started. It'll be a rollercoaster hopefully, with a few highs beer

Got the same feeling myself frown I can see Pardew taking us down this season

I think Cardiff will be safe and they'll hover around the 15th position. Palace around the same.

Hull I think are gonners...

Its a bit too hard too judge to be honest. The gap between the bottom 5 in the the Prem and top 5 in the championship is closing.

How on earth West Brom has been placed on that list is beyond me.

Indeed. Fulham and Swansea both finished below WBA.

The poll only allows me to put in 9 teams. Whilst WB finished highly last season they have a track record of being in the bottom of the table and being last day relegation fight material.


if the poll allowed more teams both fulham and newcastle would have featured. Swansea however will finish 4th and qualify for Champions league whilst being Europa Champions, FA cup winners and Capital cup winners.

Theres lovely.

Can't see Stoke or West Brom being relegated, Hull, Crystal Palace and Sunderland are the three I picked.

Surely this is Stoke's year?

They've practically put the final nail in their own coffin with Hughes.

Palace were a one player team last season, and he's long gone

if we won the prem this season we would still be favourites to go down next season, people just do not give credit to the midland clubs
