I'll make a wild guess what two of the Ws will say.
Olbiyun have us to go down but the Dogheads don't.  However, both have Dean Smith as the first manager to be sacked.  West Ham don't mention us at all.

West Brom were the only one to have themselves going down

To stand a real chance of staying up we have to strengthen the squad and keep our key players. Do so and we will be fine. Simple!

We seem to have got it half right so far then.
If we’ve not done business for a decent striker by this time next week I’ll start to worry.

That's how I see it as well. It is the main area we are seriously lacking in.

As things stand, I’d have to agree with the betting companies, most of which have us struggling this year (and most have us odds on for relegation).
Pretty much agree with this ......we "got lucky" at seasons end - we can't afford to rely on this happening again this season - I'm feeling pessimistic right now ......17th again ?

We got enough points. We did better than other teams did. It's not luck.

Signing a striker has probably put 2-5 more clubs below us.

I would swap West Brom and the Mancs.

I know it's a bit of fun, but I wouldn't like to speculate. I think we could finish anywhere from 9th to 19th. Think we have too much to finish bottom, but not enough to trouble the top 8. I fancy us for a comfortable 13th or 14th, but don't feel secure enough right now to speculate who we'll finish ahead of.

Still a few moving parts to come to rest at the moment (Martinez, Rashica/Benrahma, ANO) and the same for a couple of other clubs but assuming a few purchases;

Clubs who are certainly not good enough for the PL; Olbyun, Fulham
Clubs who are probably not good enough for the PL; Dirty Leeds, Wet Spam
Clubs who will have a bad season but probably stay up (one might drop though); Blades, Palace, Brighton

We're better than all of them. We'll be in the 9th to 12th position bracket, setting-up feverish speculation over next Summer that 'if we buy right we'll be in Europe next season for sure' :)

Despite signing Ollie bookings have still got us favourites with Albion and Fulham to go down. I'm going for Albion, Fulham and Palace for the drop and providing we keep our key players us to finish 14th.

Bookies take bets from Leeds fans who suffer delusions of Dingle magnitude.

BBC News were positively masturbating over Dirty Leeds tonight. It was truly sick-making, especially before the watershed.

I saw Carragher suggest they were going to be everybody's second team, on some website the other day. I suppose if they roll over and give us six points and beat West Brom and wolves they might be.

Do people even have second favourite teams? In the same league I mean.

Leeds will surely blow themselves out some time in the new year.

Quite like Everton, although less so of late
