Who do you want Promoted and Relegated?

[Lighthouse]

Having a fiddle with the new poll options but it should be multiple choice in both.

I’d like Leeds and Brentford to come up automatically with Forest via the playoffs. A couple of old school clubs with decent support and a reasonable chance of getting an away ticket, plus Brentford being a new one for me and a new ground.

 

Going down Norwich seems an inevitability but Villa and West Ham can join them with their reckless spending on absolute trash too.

[Batman]

Leeds will do it this time and WBA will have enough in the tank to get over the line.

Cardiff have been on a good run at the right time, so would not be shocked if they did it, but hope for Brentford.

 

Norwich are down. Villa and Bournemouth have horrific run-ins and cant see how they will get enough points

West Ham, sadly, have a much easier run-in (on paper) and have some decent players so will just do enough

Watford, god knows.

 

I reckon 35 points will keep you up

[trousers]

Brentford, Forest, Fulham

West Ham, Bournemouth, Brighton

(Answering the question: "Who do you want...?" rather than "Who do you think will...?")

[Lord Duckhunter]

Desperate for Bournemouth to go down. 

[S-Clarke]

It would be good to see Leeds and Forest back

And it would be good to see the back of Bournemouth and West Ham!

[HarvSFC]

Norwich (they're a given more than a want) West Ham and Villa.

Leeds (Again, more of a given) Brentford and Forest.

[CB Fry]

Leeds and WBA looked nailed on. If Derby don't go on a decent run and nip up in the play offs then Forest. Basically selfish local away games for me*

*virus permitting.

Failing that, plucky old Brentford who can be a "breath of fresh air" before Christmas then fuck of out of it in 19th by June.

[CB Fry]

On relegation - Norwich are gone, then I'd like to see Bournemouth gone.

West Ham would be the funniest relegation but I think it will be Villa.

[Tamesaint]

After leaving St Marys with the chant of the "south coast is ours" in my ears back in September, I think it would be lovely if Bournemouth went down. That would sort out the ungrateful, scrounging JCLs.

Also want West Ham to go down.

Brentford coming up would be nice... not sure why . Perhaps its the red and white stripes

It would have been nice to sing to them after they were singing to us 'When the Saints go marching down'

Perhaps 'Goodbye Cherries its so good to see you go back to where you belong '

I too would like Wham to go down. But please don’t make it a prerequisite for relegation for anyone guilty of ‘reckless spending on absolute trash’. Others also could be accused of that particular crime!

[Jimmy_D]

I fear mine are pretty unrealistic.

Norwich to stage a miraculous recovery and sent Villa, West Ham, and Bournemouth down. Preferably with Saints game against Bournemouth being the one to actually send them down.

Brentford and anyone apart from Leeds to get promoted.

[Tamesaint]

For those of us of a certain age, who can remember the Leeds of the '70's , it has been fantastic to see them languish in the lower divisions over the last 10 / 15 years.  They used to represent everything that was wrong with football. A couple of times I have sat with Leeds supporting mates in the home end at Elland Road and have just been bemused by the behaviour and savagery of some of their fans. The 1 nil victory we achieved there in our promotion season when Kelvin had a blinder was one of my most memorable matches 

i don't want them to come up. However an away trip to Leeds would be  a good day out … and watching them struggle in the Premier League would be great fun. 

[bangkoksaint]

Being in the NW I’d like to see Preston or Blackburn come up with Leeds and WBA. Going down - any that are a long drive away, so hopefully Villa will stay

Leeds fans in the 70's were despicable, probably the most racist with Chelsea, and being an away fan was not good

Couldn't agree more about the Cherries, hopefully the south coast will be theirs over the summer, from the Championship downwards.  If they get relegated I think Howe will leave and they'll spiral, normal service resumed.

So, for me ideally West Ham, Cherries and Brighton down (though Norwich look dead and buried), with Leeds, Forest and Brentford coming up.

[saintquin]

Looking around various forum's it seems nobody like Wet Sham.

Shame really!

[Colinjb]

Up: Leeds, West Brom and Forest.

Down: Wet Sham, Villa and Brighton.

[Toussaint]

Promoted - I like a good atmosphere at SMS, and we have to rely on away fans to produce this, so Leeds and Cardiff for atmosphere, happy with Brentford for a local away day or Notts Forest for nostalgia's sake. 

Relegation - I've really grown to dislike Bournemouth now, WHU would just be hilarious, I don't like Watford fans or their style of play. But Norwich looked cooked, as do  Villa, who I would like to stay up at the expense of one of my first three choices, look to have absolutely nothing at all and I don't get the Grealish hype.

 

 

[TWar]

I'd like to see Brighton and Bournemouth stay up. Nice having some south coast teams with us. Plus some nice away days. I hate West Ham with a passion so would love to see them fall away to nothing.

Edited 29 June, 2020 by TWar

[Saints Fan Dan]

Champo: Leeds - great club, great away day, they belong in the Premier League. 

Brentford - it'll be cool to see a smaller club in the top flight for a season or two. Fulham and Cardiff have had their chance and will stink up the league again and WBA are pretty boring (but are already up with Leeds)

Forest - same as Leeds though i'd rather see Preston come up. What's it been 60 years out of the top flight? That would be a nice story.

Relagation: Cherries - i rather like Bournemouth but their rivalry is misplaced and they need to be brought back down, so fuck them

West Ham - thoroughly unlikable owners, fans and club in general, delusions of grandeur and have taken too many points off us recently, so fuck them

Villa - good club but they've been pretty unremarkable this season, so fuck them

Norwich are already down though, always liked them but there's no saving them. In fact the current bottom 3 of them, Villa and Cherries will stay that way.

Edited 29 June, 2020 by Saints Fan Dan

[Baird of the land]

Personally I don't mind Bournemouth. Pragmatically I look at West Ham and Villa's spending power and would like to see them down for that reason. Given our horrendous record against West Ham i'd probably plump for them if it came down to a straight choice.

[iansums]

Don’t really care other than really wanting to see Bournemouth and West Ham go down, the implosion of the latter would be hilarious.

[Dellman]

I think its great to have three South coast teams in the Premier league and Pompey not one of them. Bournemouth have done brilliantly with a tiny ground, very little spending money and no costly stars, well done and good luck to them except when they play us. Football is money dominated and money crazy and its good for the game when someone like Bournemouth gets to the top league and stays there, espercially if rich clubs like West Ham and Villa  bite the dust

I hold Bournemouth no ill will...... But the myth that they havn't spent much is a little daft. They have wasted a lot of money on players that have not improved them (like us over the last few years) and are now paying for it. The wages they paid on their rise up the leagues was also a massive gamble.

To be fair even their own fans admit that.

No costly stars? They’ve been paying Jermaine Defoe and absolute bomb to play for Rangers the last two years and let’s not go into Ibe or Solanke.

[Manuel]

Watford, Villa, Norwich most likely to be relegated for me.  But I'd prefer West Ham took either one of those places.

[Tamesaint]

The last round of matches sees West Ham home to Villa. That could be an interesting relegation decider. 

[Badger]

Hope Bournemouth pull clear but given their form, and fixtures coming up can't see where the points will come from, but a few years ago we all thought Leicester had "gone".

Of the others, hoping Villa and West Ham join Norwich (already booked for it). But expect it to be Norwich, Villa & Bournemouth.

Coming up hope would like - WBA (decent away fixture), Brentford & Fulham, but expect it to be Leeds, WBA & no idea on the third.

[Dark Munster]

Certainly don't want Cardiff to come up (Sala non-payment disgrace). Also I don't want Leeds to go up. They are a sleeping giant, so if they get established in the PL it makes survival for clubs our size a bit more difficult. Plus they are horrible.

[skintsaint]

Leeds, Forest and Preston......unlikely I know.

[Pilchards]

West Ham for me.

So much shit down there that nobody wants to win a match.

[SNSUN]

Who do I want  promoted/relegated? Preston, Brentford, Fulham & West Ham, Villa and Watford. 

Who do I think will get promoted/relegated? Leeds, WBA, Forest & Norwich, Villa and Bournemouth. 

 

So I stand to be pretty disappointed at the end of the season!

[Saint Keef]

The three teams I'd like to see go down are

West Ham

West Ham

and....

West Ham

[SaintTex]

Norwich (given)

West Ham (If they go, Saints alone will have the longest current PL tenure (excluding the Top 6 + Everton)

Bournemouth (need to be knocked down a peg)

Leeds (given)

Brentford (new blood)

Forest (new blood)

I was about to say Forest aren't new blood...Bryan Roy, Collymore etc used to prowl the Premier League. Then looked to see when that was and shockingly 20+ years ago!! Scary.

[waylander]

Bournemouth have to win tonight to stand any chance of avoiding relegation

[JRM]

Think there are bound to be a few twists, Bournemouth should be looking at getting points tonight at home to Newcastle, hopefully West Ham will lose against Chelsea. 

 

From the games I've seen Norwich look certain for the drop and Villa likely as well. 

I'd like Brentford to come up, although not a fan of their new stadium compared to Griffin park, shame to see another good old ground disappear. Their fans must be gutted not to be able to give it a proper send off. 

[Eric The Red]

Norwich - don't wish them ill, but haven't been good enough

Aston Villa -, the worst football team in the division, also the place is a dump, I have no desire to go back there any time soon.

West Ham - because it would be so funny!

Re Bournemouth I don't wish them harm but if they don't go this year I think they will go next.

[BallBoy]

The common theme seems to be that everyone wants West Ham to go down. I totally agree. Thoroughly odious owners.

In an ideal world Bournemouth, Brighton and West Ham but given Norwich are as good as gone I'm hoping for Bournemouth and West Ham.

I think the Hammers may well get themselves out of it, as for Bournemouth they simply have to win tonight. With their fixtures, and despite Eddie saying they can win all seven games left, ahem yeah ok, anything other than 3 points against Newcastle will take some coming back from. Even with the three points its looking dodgy unless Watford continue to be abysmal. 

[ozzmeister]

Whats with all the BMouth hate - yes they are our noisy neighbours but the more south coast teams in the Prem the better as far as I'm concerned - least we have our own mini league then!

West Ham, they've always thought themselves to better than us, Villa and Norwich.

To go up Leeds, West Brom (family connections to both) and Brentford - play attractive football and a new team.

Yeah, I agree with all this. Even let the Blue Phew join in. It's good for Saints!

Add me to that just because they were given a brand new stadium for buttons. Fortunately they seem to be wasting the money that it freed up for players.
