Norwich will be there or thereabouts....sadly there's enough dross in there this season to avert a spectacular Newcastle implosion as Pardew gets complacent.
Before the season started I said Palace, Sunderland and Hull. I still stand by the first 2, but the third place is between Fulham and Norwich. I reckon West Ham will get a striker in January and stay up.

The Charlton legend Mr Pardew has the magpies looking at Europe. Vive la France ;-)
I saw this thread yesterday but thought I'd hang fire until I watched Palace again last night.
They're gone. I cant see Pullis saving them. They work hard but lack quality.
As for West Ham, was shocked how bad they were last night. Plenty of possession but no cutting edge at all last night. Reminds me of another team I watch Think they'll be ok, just. Depends what striker they get in the transfer window. That must be their main priority now, even with Carroll only a few weeks away from a comeback. Wouldnt be at all surprised to see Defoe end up there in January.
I think both Norwich and Fulham have got enough quality about them to see them safe. Cardiff have got a decent spine to their side too.
I'd be worried if I was Mark Hughes. Stoke dont seem to have that never say die attitude about them like they did under Pullis.
Fulham I can see staying up...by the skin of their teeth. Sunderland are down. That is the only one to be sure about.
There is minimal pressure on palace to stay up they have the most understandable relegation situation which will mean they maybe a tough team to play against under Pulis. Still can't see them surviving but who knows.

So for me, its:
18: Stoke 19: Sunderland 20: Palace
Well that shows you how much I know lol.
West Ham might have gone down if it wasn't for Tottenham rolling over every time they played them lol.

Fulham 33 pts
Palace 10 pts and a new record.
Had a bet before the season started - Palace, Stoke & Sunderland @ 80/1
Only a couple of quid but better than nowt
