That bottom 5 look like none of them want to stay up. Fair play to Brighton, amazing 4 points from those games. Problem is, after Naarch the bottom 5 includes probably my three most hated clubs (and I find Watford benign).
Who do you reckon?
Just can’t see Villa getting out, so I think straight WHU and B’Muff will fight it out.

Norwich are gone... Villa should be but I have a strange feeling they might sneak a few wins.... WH look a mess.... a terrible team with a poor manager.. B’Muff are shocking too... one of those 3 will stay up through luck, it’s a coin flip

just wait for the legal challenge if WHU go down, they litigate on everything

I'm banking on West Ham going down.
Their last game is home to Villa and I can just see them saving themselves and sending the Hamsters down at that game.
TBF WHU looked way better last night than they did against Wolves. The lads Rice and Bowen are class acts and we should be alive to loan possibilities should their team drop.

Norwich are gone realistically.
Bournemouth were dreadful against Palace and also have the hardest run-in, we could well send them down on the 2nd last gameweek.
I think West Ham are having the traditional wobble and the nature of the club is that when things go slightly wrong it all looks disastrous. But they have enough players who can turn it on once every 8 games that they tend to get a crucial win just when they need it (often against Saints) so although I'd like them to go down, I think they'll scrape it. They have a run-in against lots of teams around them- on paper easier games but also the kind of thing that can work against you if you do lose them, they play Norwich, Watford and Villa.
I think Watford are limited but the kind of team to get enough draws along the way that they'll just keep their heads above water.
Villa just seem like a Championship team with Grealish giving them some kind of a chance.
I'll say that it'll be Norwich, Bournemouth and then Villa will need a win against West Ham on the last day, but they won't get it.

Another problem for Bournemouth is their key players are dropping like flies. Fraser's contract issue means he won't play again for them, and Josh King got injured on Saturday. King is one player of their's that I'd like Saints to take, inconsistent but he has pace and a goal threat.

Yes, I like him too. There are a number of players from those relegated sides who will end up getting moves back to the PL quickly. I wonder if any will end up at Saints, we normally identify 1 or 2, but I don't remember us actually signing any in recent years. Had Shane Long just been relegated when we got him?

Bournemouth are effectively down already. Difficult run in - still got City, Spurs, United and Leicester to play with their fixtures against us and Newcastle being the only ones they will have much hope in. Terrible form. Strikers all gone impotent.
I fear that West Ham are going to survive. Pity cos I would pay to see them relegated. Watford will be fine. Nigel Pearson's done a great job.
Norwich 20, Bournemouth 19, Villa 18.

I'd love it to be West Ham but it'll be Bournemouth. The other two slots are already sorted, villa and Norwich

I too would prefer WHam to drop, as they're right up themselves...also cos I had to pay for their stolen stadium. Plus, our record there is terrible...
But, as above, they'll probably weasel their way out of it and Nach, Bomp & Villa will suffer instead.

Norwich 20, Bournemouth 19, Villa 18. Same here. Anyone want to put into a kitty? Feel sorry for Bournmouth - not a big enough club to survive a run bad luck and injuries. David Brooks looked a great player before his injury. Will he get back fully from that?
