Can't wait to see the scintillating football the likes of Hull and Ipswich will bring to the Premier League next season. Jeez. Coventry are probably the only one that has a chance of surviving but even that's a slim one.

Careful now people probably said the same about us when we won the play offs - well done Hull City and "hahahaha" Steve Gibson and the Smoggies!

I imagine most people had Sunderland nailed on as finishing bottom this time last season.

It was all three promoted sides the previous two seasons I think and I can't see it being different next season but we shall see.

Again, that's exactly what everyone said 12 months ago. There was nothing special about Sunderland or Leeds last season in the Championship that meant they were nailed on to stay up this time. Everyone said they would go down because the promoted clubs all getting relegated was just now a fact of life.

I think next season has the potential to be a huge mess for loads of clubs. Sunderland and Leeds have to deal with their second season and second seasons aren't easy. Bournemouth, Palace, probably Fulham will have new managers and might turn into this decade's Charlton as soon as the new guy turns up. Brentford won't go on forever and at some point will crash. Who knows what Spurs/West Ham and Forest will end up looking like.

Any of the three promoted clubs could easily stay up next season if they do it right.

Was going to watch Celtic v Dunfermline, but they have Stephen Kenny on as a pundit. FFS!

MON suited and booted for the occasion. It's an improvement on the trackie.

Maybe he's got another court date this afternoon.

Sunderland and Leeds stayed up because they were bigger clubs with more spending power. The biggest since we went up.

Ipswich will have greater spending capacity than Coventry. Doug King will budget to do down like Burnley.

I’m just dreading the inevitable early season away day at the CBS whilst they still have spirit (and hatred of us)

All three will need to splash the cash like Sunderland and Leeds did.
If you don’t you end up like Burnley
