I know its early days but if we have a look at the current strugglers in the premier league, I am just wondering which you think have enough about them to escape the drop.
of the teams with 0 points (Bournemouth, palace, sunderland) I think all three will struggle and probably all be placed in the bottom 6, with Bournemouth and sunderland to probably drop.
of the strugglers with 1 point (arsenal , lesta, Watford, Southampton, stoke) I fancy Watford to scrap it out all season, although they are possibly favourites for the early relegation 6 pointer at the weekend with arsenal.
my feelings are that arsenal and lesta should have enough to survive (although arsenal are such a mess that they might self destruct and not last the season), as should Southampton and stoke
Which Strugglers will escape relegation?

Just like Leicester pulled off an unbelievable feat, it would be fun to watch if either Spurs or Chelsea are relegated.

so far fetched not even worth mentioning. although Chelsea do have recent experience of relegation scraps that would hold them in good stead

Burnley will go down. Bournemouth will stay up they have real quality in that squad in positions.
I think Sunderland will join Burnley but I can't pick a third team at the moment.

Arter is a very good player, as is Boruc in goal and they still have Gradel and Wilson in the squad who are excellent players.

boruc is a good player? hes absolutely terrible.
Wilson unproven at this level.
arter is decent, hes not "very good".

Agreed to disagree but there's a reason Bournemouth survived comfortably last season. Plus they have a very very good young manager.

I actually like Bournemouth and thought they played some nice football last season.
and I agree that Howe is a very good manager.
but they actually weren't as comfortable in the table last season as I thought they were.
they finished 16th, 2 places above drop zone, and 5 points above drop zone (with an inferior GD to Newcastle who took the final relegation spot)
if the season had gone on another month they might have been in trouble.
I want them to stay up, but they are in for a long hard season

They did take their eye off the ball massively towards the end of the season and their form spiralled when they were basically safe.
I remember being at Dean Court when Bournemouth were promoted to the championship a few years ago and that was a huge achievement for the club so the fact they are now in their second season in the PL is just massive.
Surely the smallest club ever to have been in the league?
