    Taking a break from the top of the table, who would you prefer to stay up and who would you prefer to go down?

    I wouldnt have minded maybe Burnley staying up. I have a soft spot for Luton and really want them to push through, but I don’t think they will.

    Would have liked to have seen Everton to go down, but there’s more chance of the pope mooning a crying baby than that happening at this stage.

      I would like to see Luton stay up and Forest go down. Both Frankenstein teams but at least Luton has character, just want to give them a chance to have a more permanent squad and see what they can achieve.

      In terms of who is coming back up, Leicester is already back albeit on minus points, between the teams now in playoff positions… let’s have Norwich come back up

        Agreed, despite their position, they aren’t afraid to play some enjoyable football. If they had a better setup, I could see them being more competitive. If they could stay up who knows where they will go. But, maybe the parachute payments will help?

        Not surprised Leicester will be back up. I can get behind Norwich. Maybe Ipswich to mix it up? xD

        Been over 20 years since they were in the top flight last

          Definitely don’t want to see Southampton lol…Hull actually might have a chance at playoffs since West Brom is on 72 and they’re on 70…that might be very interesting

          They also most likely won’t be barebones like Forest or Luton when they come up, though do need upgrades.

      It’s a tough one this season. I honestly don’t mind any of the struggling clubs, and would be happy if they all stayed up. All the clubs I dislike who could have been relegated (Stoke, Hull, Leeds) are currently in the Championship.

      If I had to choose just one current club to be relegated, and since Tottenham and Man United don’t fit into that category, I suppose it would be Everton.

        I kinda liked Leeds since I have a bunch of mates from there.

        First football game I ever saw live was a preseason friendly between Leeds and Everton on 1st Aug 2015. I think Leeds lost, lol

      At this point, I don’t really mind any of the three going down. Maybe Forest staying up cuz my old english teacher’s a Forest fan.

        I don’t mind Forest. I think their rebuild was a big ask and have done well to have made it this far.

    Curious how Ramsdale is the taller goalkeeper yet Raya is the one known for claiming high crosses.

      Reads it better? I also don’t know if he faced as many crosses as Raya has. That would be an interesting stat
