[Archived] Other Premier League Happenings

My take on the relegation battle is:

Stoke and West Brom to go down. Two of the promoted teams struggling.

Any other from:

Boro. They have been very poor.

Hull and Pompey. I have a feeling they will start to drop.

Us. Fingers crossed things are looking up. Long may it continue.

West Ham. Depends who they have to sell in Jan.

Bolton, Wigan and Fulham are doing ok, but even Fulham in 8th are only 5 points from the relegation zone.

Sunderland are doing ok too at the moment, see them similar to us.

I think Man City, Newcastle and Spurs will all end up comfortably out of the mix. Man City with money, Spurs with Harry and Newcastle are doing ok under Kinnear.

So going off that, we have a good chance of staying up if we continue improving and strengthen in January.

Agree with that.

We should be ok,there are plenty of teams queueing up to go down this year,i think Portsmouth will finish in the bottom 4.Especially if they stick with loopy Adams.

[The Rover of Finland]

Adams was backing Ince very hard but his time will end soon too. Hard to see Pompey giving Diarra money Adams´s hands. Must say I prefer our Andrews-Tugay/Mokoena than theirs Davis-Hughes. We will finish better than Hull. Stoke and WBA will go down no doubt. And let´s hope WBA won´t come back soon. Boring club.

As we were saying at the time, no wonder messers Pulis, Adams and Brown were slating us for sacking Ince. We have just made their jobs a lot harder.

On another note, Harry on possibly signing Defoe in January: "I think they have a massive offer from somebody for him so good luck to them, I paid about £9million for him," Redknapp said.

Real Madrid? City?

[Ricky]

My money would be on Villa going for Defoe. he seems the sort of player they go for, english and pacey.

They also pay pretty good fees so would probably not be trying to get him on the cheap like 'arry.

Just look how much they paid for Milner

[Majiball]

Real Madrid? City?

Villa?

Mike Ashley has taken Newcastle off the market and now wants to drive it forward. I wonder what the fans will do if anything?

[Pugg]

english and pacey.

I love watching Villa play and I like the fact that they are assembling a very English team.

[modes98]

Sad day that I admit to preferring to watch Villa to any other team but I was cheering them on against Arsenal.

Which is why I has them down as an outside bet for RSC - O'Neil like big target men ad has 2 lively smallish front men.

[Jan]

And they're managed by god.

Or St Martin.

Villa after Defoe, Liverpool after Glen Johnson, and Sylvain Distin wants out.

Surely Pompey should be worth a punt as relegation favs.

And Gomez managing them - it's a surefire winner.

I suspect the money is a touch rich for them. Even with the rich Americian.

[Derbyshire Blue]

Newcastle 0 vs Liverpool 2.... apparently it could and should be 8 or 9 nil Men against Boys says the commentator .... though Barcodes go close... nearly half time

Would ya believe it barcodes score

[Sandiway Blue]

Now geordies 1- 4 scousers.

I`ve just noticed Pompeys goal difference,these boys are definitely going to get dragged into the relegation dogfight.

1-5 now, they are catchable!

[Sandiway Blue]

1-5 now, they are catchable!

Good to see their goal difference getting a pasting,could make a difference come May.

[Derbyshire Blue]

Barcodes 5-1 defeat and our next home game after today... how big Sam's going to love that confrontation !

[alexanders]

I predict 4-0 to Arsenal against Pompey.

[RibbleValleyRover]

Stoke 1-0 up against West Ham

[brfcshabba]

West Ham 0-1 Stoke

Basically what RibbleValleyRover said

Fulham 1-0 Chelsea

Everton 1-0 Sunderland

[alexanders]

Fulham 1 - 0 Chelsea

PL is very strange and exciting this year.
