    OK I’ll say it again, for those of you who seem to have difficulty with the concept of this thread.

    Out of the teams in the bottom half of the table, who are therefore the most likely to be relegated, which 3 would you most like to see go down?

    West Ham - owners, Brady ('orrible person), putting 'London' on the crest, screwing everyone over the stadium.

    Everton - WARCHEST and it would just be funny.

    Burnley - Fans were a bunch of ignorant f**kwits in the pub before the last two games at St Marys.

    I can but dream. The strange thing is many WHU fans see relegation as the only way to eject the Dildo Twins from their club, I think they underestimate how much can be squeezed from a club as they plummet down the leagues (see Blackpool).

    The two South Coast clubs and Watford. I'm bored with the local rivalry in the PL now and i've still never forgiven Watford for the 7-1 back in the 80s!.

    Newcastle, Everton and West Ham....because I have no particular reason to like them... and in general they are the teams that we compete for a league spot with (and yet they think they are soooooooooooo much better than us).

    To be fair, the head says those three as they are (or have the potential to be) the strongest teams next year and the next etc. Would make our life a bit easier.

    The heart still says Bournemouth instead of Newcastle as even today I have had a convo with a Bournemouth fan who insisting that they are not in a relegation fight and once "Eddie gets back all the injured, we'll be alright". "We can beat anyone on our day". "We'll finish above you" etc.

    Bored of them now. They need to go back down the leagues to get a bit of reality like we did.

    I want Bournemouth to go down as they are getting spiteful, some fans . I do agree that I dont think they will ESP once EH gets the squad back . Can still hope though .

    Bournemouth, Burnley and West Ham for me.

    Bournemouth - Fed up of the non-rivalry, their fans and quite enjoying the end of the Eddie Howe mirage
    Burnley - Boring club, crap trip, not an exciting team to watch, quite dislike Sean Dyche
    West Ham - Grew up with loads of Hammers fans, still live in London, would quite like them to have their wings clipped

    I think the injuries are just masking the fact that they aren't that good now. They had team spirit (like the one that got us back to back promotions), but I think that is mostly gone. Also Eddie wants to play football "The right way", and you can't when you are in a relegation battle. Sod pretty football, just get points on the board.

    Yeah, I think they will find it incredibly difficult to rediscover their mojo now, even with a fully fit squad. Winning is habit forming, but so is losing. And habits, as we know, are very difficult to break once formed.

    Yep but we as a team and fans have experience of it. Ralph didn't and that is why it took so long to shake ourselves out of the rut IMO

    And now Ralph is a member of a very exclusive club - a manager who has stared into the abyss, been given the opportunity to turn it round by his employers, and successfully done so. That makes him a rarity in the modern game. That experience could be invaluable for him and us, going forward.

    He has now also got buy in to his methods. That is why I think we had so many weird players at weird positions - the traditional left back/right back didn't buy in to his ways. They have now and we are transformed. I also think we will be affected by injuries, but not as much as we could be as even the reserves know what to do.
