English Football 09/10

Its going to be an exciting season just to see who gets relegated, I reckon and even bigger fight this season with Burnley (who should come last...note i said SHOULD) Birmingham (who have a few class players, but also some really weak positions), Wolves (who have the most chance of survival out of the 3 promoted clubs, but even if they do go down will be a much better team for it), Bolton, Stoke, Hull, Sunderland, Blackburn and Portsmouth.

Also can't wait to see which of the 8000 players linked with tottenham will actually be signed haha

 

Portsmouth is in no danger of relegation IMO.

 

I dunno, they have been in a bad way of late, i admit they shouldnt be relegated but at some stage in the season i reckon they will have to fight to stay out of the relegation battle

 

still got a couple of months left...doubt any major signings will come through for atleast a couple of weeks. Towards the end of the windo is usually when the shuffling of players really starts

 

realised i didnt really answer your question...15th of august

 

theyve had Nugent for a while now...but theyve never HAD to play until now, unfornately for them.

TBH i think they are better off playing Utaka than Nugent. actually...maybe they should just buy someone new.

i just saw scholes was linked with stoke? is this for real haha

 

Buddy, I guarantee you Portsmouth, Sunderland and Blackburn won't be down there.

Sunderland (and now Portsmouth) have the money to be competitive and stay in the upper mid-table, while Blackburn will benefit from the management of Sam Allardyce who is one of the best outside of the Big Four, IMO.

Next season, the relegation contenders will be IMO:
Wolves
Birmingham
Burnley
Hull
Stoke
West Ham (if they continue to struggle financially)
Bolton

The survival of Hull and Stoke will depend on their summer signings. I think Bolton have enough about them to survive for another season though, even though Elmander has been somewhat of a flop and there are clubs beating down the door to buy the likes of Jaaskaleinen and Cahill.

 

Nah I don't think so. Even now, Portsmouth's team has far more quality about them... notwithstanding the money that will come rolling in when Sheikh Sulaiman buys the club.

 

Lol, **** off, what a dire statement. Hull will be in the bottom 5 next year. Portsmouth should be top 10. With a huge influx in money, and hopefully a stable manager, unlike the 5 they had this season, added to the fact they finished 8th last season.

They aren't touching Fratton Park. They are already in the process of building a new stadium, Solent Stadium. 36000 - 40000 people I believe.

 

Well they can't physically expand Fratton. If they could they would.
