Can they promoted and survived in the highest level?
-
Currently the League Championship (New version of 1st division) is topped by teams like Wigan, Reading and QPR (Some of you may have medmories with QPR) etc and do you think they will eventually promoted to the Premiership?
If they do promote to the Premiership in the end, can they survive in the Premiership? -
Mostly, newly promoted dun really survive... Portsmouth survive last season... That's a remarkable feat for them...

Patrik Berger He's great.. -
But it's more easier to be another Barnsley, Bradford and Watford than to be another Portsmouth, Birmingham and Fulham...

It's too early 2 talk abt the leaders since the league is long n they have more games 2 go. The leaders might change god knows how many time from now till Jan. Well if the likes of the above 3 teams can maintain their charge, it b a flash in the pan 4 their appearances in the EPL 4 one season.Originally posted by potong jalan:Currently the League Championship (New version of 1st division) is topped by teams like Wigan, Reading and QPR (Some of you may have medmories with QPR) etc and do you think they will eventually promoted to the Premiership?

Seriously of the 3 promoted teams, Norwich, Palace n WBA, who has the likeliest chance of staying up? The answer is not a chance. When push come 2 shove, they definitely lack that extra quality 2 kill a game off n held on 2 the lead n the points.
Palace has a dodgy keeper, n I still dun't understand how Andy Johnson can keep scoring n doing well, but all power 2 him... but 4 all his hardwork, if the defence lets in goals easily, then his efforts r going down the drain. Case in point, the away game 2 Portsmouth. They equalise almost immediately after a Berger special but was ruled offside, then another chance goes a begging in a penalty kick missed. Portmouth storms upfield the other side n score thru the help of a Palace defender, Popovic. If my memory serves me correctly, that's his 3rd goal of the season, a record 4 any defenders but a dreaded one since THEY r all OWN GOALS!!!
Norwich lacks firepower, how serious can u b taken if u depends on Huckerby, famous abt 10 yrs ago n a defender-turned-striker in Gary Doherty that even Spurs let go? N in soccer, if u can't score, u can't win n 1 pt is not getting u out of the relegation quarmire.
WBA is jus so average. They r hard 2 break down, hardworking n like a Everton side without the classy players. Altho they have Kanu n managed a win over a deflated Bolton, who seems 2 hit the ground after lofty results against the big 3. Seriously, will u b afraid of a side containing 1 Kanu n how many goals can he get u in a match? Definitely a struggler.
This early in the league, only Blackburn n Southampton looks like candidates going 2b embroiled in relegation battle all season. But in cases like this, the key 2 avoiding relegation is the results of the strugglers against each other which will prove significant in the coming months. -
yeah, they hav to grab all points where possible.
drawing with fellow relegation-favourites wun save your own asses...
wats impt is that you grab the 3 pts frm them, push urself up, and push them down.
sounds bad, but well, to survive in the premiership is definitely not easy.
when coming to big matches, dun concede plentiful of goals, you will nv know when the GD are so impt to keep you up...

For promoted teams to stay up, they need all the rite elements - apart fm financial strength, the rite players and manager. And of course, some luck.
Portsmouth survived mainly becoz of Redknapp - a proven manager at West Ham. He bot the "rite" players with moderate financial backings...kudos to him. Altho not a top-10 candidate, I expect them to stay up comfortably this time unless another ugly scuffle happens at the upper level.
As for promoted teams, I'll like to see at least one to stay up each time. Currently, all 3 are struggling and things are not looking good. WBA's situation with the manager is not helping its course; Norwich looks pretty average so far; I can see Palace improving...but will it be enuff?
For next season, I wish to see some familiar faces promoted - any one amongst Wolves, West Ham, Coventry, Ipswich, Leeds... coz they've been at the top b4, n hence, are more likely to survive an immediate fall. -

Portsmouth is getting stronger and stronger..They rae more and more difficult to beat..
I am starting to like Portsmouth..
hahaha -
but i think.. portsmouth mainly depends on a draw or a 1-0 wins to keep themselves in the premiership.. but i m not surprised at this rate they might even go for inter toto cup qualificationOriginally posted by Patrik:Portsmouth is getting stronger and stronger..They rae more and more difficult to beat..
