I fancy Bournemouth to sneak it and stay up, from what I’ve witnessed lately they’ve been bloody unlucky with VAR.

To be fair, Bournemouth can still stay up too! They’re at Everton (who are poor) but need Watford and villa to lose. Wasn’t that like us in 97?!

We needed Sunderland to lose and if Boro drew, we had to win -

So, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer had a hand in saving us from relegation that year

I think a couple of clubs are in decline in the championship that could benefit us... Birmingham, Huddersfield and Stoke spring to mind, the premiership took its toll on the latter two...

I think Stoke will do OK next season, showed signs late on this season of a revival and O'Neill as the summer now to work with them. Agree on the other two

A little similar then! Be nice if it was the same result (19th getting out of it).

Terrible as a number for football though. Suggests we're going down.
