In the same league I mean.Quite like Everton, although less so of late

I've got a bit of a soft spot for Sheff Utd and Brighton from living and working in both cities at various times. I don't think I'd describe them as second teams though. I like to see them do well but it doesn't have a massive effect on me if they don't. As for Leeds being anyone's second team, I'd find that very surprising.
For me, it'll be Fulham, WBA and West Ham...
This is how I saw it a few days' ago. If the WHU takeover happens that will either confirm their ineptitude or pull them away from the trapdoor.Palace have now got enough in their tank, I think, with Eze and Batshit in their squad.
Geordie here,
Lots of positive vibes on here this week so was surprised to hear we are still third favourites for the drop. Just checked and it is true. It is Fulham, Albion, us. Also surprised to see Leeds have such long odds.I've heard it said many times the bookies don't get it wrong. They have this time haven't they? Or are we all kidding ourselves?
Geordie here, I think if you sign a good striker that will go a long way to making survival a little more comfortable. As it stands and unless they suddenly splash a load of cash, it has to be Fulham and West Brom as the bottom two. They just look miles off the quality required to comfortably stay in the league. Ahead of them it could be any from a group of 6 or 7. Brighton play some nice stuff at times, but they haven't the quality, Burnley defy expectations every bloody season, Crystal Palace over-reliant on Zaha (although Batshuayi might shoulder some of that burden), Leeds did well in the Championship and Biesla's a top coach, but Bamford's not a PL striker and Rodrigo might be a Joelinton. Newcastle have some good players, and have bought well imo, but Bruce is a terrible manager, West Ham are a club in crisis, don't have a good striker, don't have a good manager.For me, it'll be Fulham, WBA and West Ham. But yourselves, Brighton and Palace might leave it late to clinch survival.
Again I think that is scoring goals will be a problem, also not convinced about either of our centre half’s.with the current squad we will probably be 15th and another season of struggling to survive
