Wycombe will be down, but only by one point.

What has happened to Derby is epic.

Really hoping Lincoln can make it. Will fans be able to attend the semis?

Rumours of a potential Derby points deduction - if so, Wycombe will be safe. Or, in other words: uberlolz

Yes I believe so - at least Bournemouth have set up a ticket ballot for their home leg v Brentford. I think 2000 will be allowed in, but I think potential crowds are based on % of capacity.

I've had a pointless £5 on Burnley to go down at 50/1. Will probs cash out if they lose tonight.

So all three relegation places sorted with three games to go. Is that a record?

Good chance we could have all 3 of last year's relegated sides promoted from the Championship (Norwich, Watford, Bournemouth) and 2 out of 3 of the newly promoted sides have been relegated (Fulham, West Brom)

Snooze.

Identical 21/22 Prem to the 19/20 one if Bournemouth go up - with the exception of Leeds for Sheffield United. Gulf in quality between the two leagues growing

Anyway, sure Leon will be disappointed tonight :wink:

So identical except for where it's not ;-) assuming Bournemouth can beat Brentford, which I don't think they will.

In which case the PL will be 10% different than 2 years ago, which is probably about average.

Don't think that quite stands true. Using the last five years as an example:

18/19: Norwich, Sheffield United, Villa went up - only Norwich came back down
Huddersfield, Fulham and Cardiff went down - only Fulham came back up

17/18: Wolves, Cardiff, Fulham went up - Cardiff and Fulham came down
West Brom, Stoke and Swansea went down - none came up

16/17: Newcastle, Brighton and Huddersfield went up - none came straight back down
Hull, Middlesbrough and Sunderland went down - none came back up (Sunderland double relegation)

15/16: Burnley, Boro and Hull went up - Boro and Hull came down
Newcastle, Norwich and Villa went down - only Newcastle came back up

14/15: Bournemouth, Watford and Norwich went up - only Norwich came down
Hull, Burnley and QPR came down - Hull and Burnley back up


Average over the last five years is 20% - so the figures of 5%/10% are low regardless
Whether that's part of a "new trend" or is anomalous is another question I guess

Brentford are perennial bottlers on the big stage, don't handle pressure at all, so can see Bournemouth getting through. Will be interesting nonetheless, as most have ruled out Barnsley/Swansea yet Fulham were almost dead on certs to beat us in our playoff campaign

Derby's decision overturned. They may get a points deduction after all...

Currently on track for the lowest points total needed to survive in the PL since it began. There was a season where 30 points was enough, and the next lowest was 33 points.

Currently need 27 points (with 3 games left for that to possibly change)
