Hard to agree, they stayed up because hawkeye played up and didn't register a Sheffield United goal.
That in itself is extraordinarily lucky

Unbelievably lucky tho that was, what with the 'all seeing eye' not connected at that moment, they also suffered some criminal decisions that went against them this season.
I've already been in touch with some Villa supporting mates, congratulating them on embracing the Coventry City experience.

Well they didn’t that’s a Sunderland argument

Of course anything could've happened after that incident in that game and subsequent ones, but it's hard to deny it had a material effect on that game and the outcome. I doubt they'd be able to claim (it must be written in the league contract that no claims can be made due to mistakes due to technology failure just as they can't for human error by an official) but we'd be livid it happened to us.

Can see why he gave it. It's one of those that the ball has ran away and two players coming into contest the ball. An orange card really (if ever there was one) but a yellow would have been accepted by all and the game continues.

Bournemouth will lose players, Norwich will be strong and Watford could be a basket case

I don't see Watford struggling. At first glance, it won't seem like it with the managerial sackings but if you search a little bit deeper you will find a very well run and organised football club. The owners have money and very good resources, they have an infamous global scouting network which has found players such as Alexis Sanchez, Ricahrlison, Bruno Fernandes. They have a very good and unique academy, which has been copied by top European clubs, Jadon Sancho was a product of this academy they brought on a 17-year-old Brazillian today against Arsenal who has scored more goals in the Brazilian top-flight than Neymar had at the same age, and they have very talented youngsters playing all over Europe some have been making a name for themselves in La Liga and Serie A. They will probably be able to bring in good players from Spain and Italy as well. Last time they were in The championship they had Marco Cassetti playing for them. For me, there is no way that they will struggle I think they will be the strongest out of all the teams that come down and I would put a wager on them going straight back up, I think the way that they are run will suit the current circumstances. Bournemouth may lose players but they will get good money for them and will be able to replace them with good championship players, furthermore let us not forget that they are also owned by a minted Russian businessman and that they will also likely be able to buy players and pay a better salary than a lot of teams. I actually think Norwich will be the worst out of the teams coming down because they will keep average players but the likes of Beundia, Cantwell, Max Aarons, Jamal Lewis, possibly even Tim Krul will very likely be sold and they simply have less money than Bournemouth and Watford.

None of the three should struggle as they have the very unfair parachute payments to back them up.

if I had to pick one to struggle it would be Bournemouth, Howe is far to comfortable in that job and the players seem to have had an easy ride with him, also the better players are going to be off.

To be fair they are going to pick up to 40 million for Nathan Ake who is being linked to Manchester City, I would say a possible 20 million each for Callum Wilson and Joshua King, probably 15-20 million for Jefferson Lerma. If they keep David Brookes they will do very well he looks like a terrific young player, they will probably keep Solanke and Junior Stanislas who should be good at Championship level as well. Looking at that though that is around 100 million that they will likely make from selling just a few players. Same with Watford with the likes of Doucoure, Pereyra, Estupinan, Delufeou, and Ismaila Sarr they possibly won't even sell the latter two players Delufeou is injured until after the transfer window and I could see him staying at Watford until January, their owners have come out and said that they are not selling Ismaila Sarr as well. If they have got Gerard Delufeou and Ismaila Sarr playing in the championship next year with what will probably be Danny Welbeck up front they will rip teams apart. Then, of course, as you say they have the parachute money. They are going to be miles ahead of us and probably the rest of the league considering the current circumstances, just my opinion though. We need to be worrying about the likes of Luton, Wycombe, Barnsley, and Rotherham possibly even Birmingham, if a genie came and offered me 4th from the bottom now I would take it if I am honest with you.

Bournemouth have a recent history of very poor signings, Watford should win the league comfortably especially if they keep people like Deeney. Fourth from bottom will a good season for us.
