Will 'they' weasel their way out of this one?

[Stat Brother]

as usual.

After their record breaking start to the season and the prospect of yet more records to come.

Do you think our northern neighbours are as good as down already?
Or
Are you thinking they'll still wriggle their way out of this?





With the ultimate 'kick in the knackers' question:-

Will they stay up at the Albion's expense?

 

[Stat Brother]

For the record, as much as I'm enjoying this run made all the better by appointing Roy, I still can't commit fully to the fun because I just know it's the hope that kills you.

 

[Motogull]

Look here fella. They were the worst performing team in 2016 and extending that to date sees them leap to second worse. Their luck has run out. A lot of their own fans fear the worse.

This was always going to be an 'enjoy the ride' season for us but little did we know the fun they were going to give us from the very first kick off.

 

[beorhthelm]

too early to condemn them, but next games are ManC (A), ManU (A), Chelsea (H), so you wonder where their first point will come from.

 

[WATFORD zero]

I'm not voting but enjoying it while it lasts

 

[Lindfield23]

Yes, they always manage it somehow

 

[lawros left foot]

I don't know, but their goal of the season competition is going to be a damp squib at this rate.

I remember looking at their tough run of fixtures at the end of last season and reckoning they were down.

I don't know, but their goal of the season competition is going to be a damp squib at this rate.

Might end up being from a selection of own goals or (dubious (obviously) given) penalties.

One day their luck will run out - it always does.

And that day gets closer everday.

It feels like when taking about palace, our luck runs out first.

 

[vegster]

Palace, Leicester and Stoke to go down this year...

 

[ferring seagull]

One or few expected contributors have 'surprisingly not responded to this thread but perhaps, on the other hand we should wait a little while before - Oh !!!

 

[Dorset Seagull]

They have a few injuries and you can bet all things will click into place as soon as we are due to face them

 

[Gazwag]

I sort of hope they get their first goal and win before we play them

 

[symyjym]

Sunderland hung on for years.

 

[theboybilly]

Every time I watch them I can see discontent. As each game goes by it can only get worse - Benteke especially looks properly fed up

 

[studio150]

At this stage, I'm just hoping their start to the season goes to P8 L8 F0 A14 Pts 0

 

[martin tyler]

Yes more than likely.
Be interesting to see where they are at after the Chelsea game. If they are yet to get a point I could see them 7/8 points adrift already. They could turn that around over the next 30 games after that but that would be some ask in their current situation

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

It's the middle of September. Far too early to determine their fate. I fully expect Hodgson to sort them out.
