Bournemouth in free fall !

[Riversider]

They look in real trouble to me, playing with no confidence and it's hard to see where their next win is coming from,
When you consider that they didn't spend a single penny in January and didn't bring in one single player, I would say that Bournemouth have got a group of supporters that should be truly concerned , if they get dragged down in to the bottom three then they are gone !

I don't think they will be relegated though

Hull are certs
Sunderland probable

Palace and Swansea I think will be safe

Leicester could be the 3rd to go down !!!!

[St Eve]

They will be fine. They are 3 points from 9th. I agree with Riverside

[Riversider]

Have a look at their next 5 or 6 games, could be in the thick of it after that, nobody fears going to Dean Court maybe they should have recalled Murray from his loan at Brighton or is it only Derby that try that ?

[Nero]

seem to have lost it since Ake went back no wonder they where willing to pay big money for him

[MikeW]

In fairness from what I've seen of Ake on the box he looks well decent.  The Scum are well served at the back, but hey, with that money.

I hope Bournemouth stay up but they have got a few shockers coming up.

Bit like we used to be!

Agreed.  They are having a bad spell but nothing worse than that.

[AlexW132]

The teams that stay up this season will only do so because there are worse teams. Out of all the teams, Hull, Swansea, Palace, Sunderland, Middlesbrough, Watford, Bournemouth and Leicester all look crap enough to get relegated, but I think it'll be Hull, Sunderland and Leicester who do.

Just had a look at their fixtures, final game of the season Away to Leicester !!!

From a Fulham point of view if it's 3 from Bournemouth, Boro, Hull and Sunderland none of those sides strike me down with fear for next season , provided Villa don't get their act together the Championship could be wide open next season.

Looking at the percentage of the Premier League clubs that are owned by non-British interests I would guess the foreign ownership groups understand pretty well the value of being in the Premier League.  Looking at the top of the table it looks like they understand the value of being in the Champions League as well.

Not to hijack the thread,but has a team ever won the Prem and then been relegated the next season? For that manner, in any of the EPL?

Man City did pre-war, and Ipswich got into the UEFA Cup one season and were relegated the next a decade or so ago.

A quick google search came up with this. 

Manchester City's first ever league title in the first division came in the 1936/37 season. What made the victory even sweeter was the fact that their arch-rivals Manchester United were relegated after finishing second to last in the table after 42 games.

Although City started the season with a loss to Middlesbrough, they lost only 7 games that season and ended with a strong run of 22 games without defeat which included 15 wins. Four players reached double figures for goals in the league – forwards Peter Doherty (30), Eric Brook (20),  Alec Herd and Fred Tilson (15 goals each).City's home form was identical to second-placed Charlton Athletic (15 wins and 5 draws – 2 points per win), but their away record was marginally better and they took the title home with a 3-point lead after 42 matches in spite of an abandoned game midway through the season.

But the very next season, their weak defence saw them lose 20 out of the 42 games as they finished in 21st place, above West Bromwich Albion only on goal difference. Surprisingly, they were the team that scored the most goals that season but still couldn't survive the drop. City had the second-worst defensive record, conceding 77 goals in the season. Even teams above them who had a negative goal difference managed to score more points.

Sunderland deserve to be relegated after not being punished for playing an ineligible player in the 2014 season. 

[The Swan]

I think that Murray signed on permanent deal for Brighton in January.

The teams that stay up this season will only do so because there are worse teams. Out of all the teams, Hull, Swansea, Palace, Sunderland, Middlesbrough, Watford, Bournemouth and Leicester all look crap enough to get relegated, but I think it'll be Hull, Sunderland and Leicester who do.

Remember that team who are so crap .. and the way they won the Championship? They are not a worse team now.

Yes, they are on a bad run. They are having a bad spell. For a team with a crowd of 11,500 who despite  funding from their owner still exist on a fairly meagre budget compared to other premiership teams, they are still not doing so bad. Going down is what should be expected. But Eddie will stay calm,. the ship will be steadied .. in Eddie we  trust ... oops, just given away the fact Bournemouth are my second team, and indeed my home team.

My first game at Dean Court was 1965 v Burnley (3rd in div 1 at the time) in the FA cup. I blame my son for the fact that they are still not my first team.

Some people may think this is an act of disloyalty but after being a season ticket holder at  Fulham for at least 10 years, my allegiance,  though once always with Bournemouth, gradually  turned into a Fulham allegiance.  You just can't help it. And when Bournemouth played Fulham in the Championship I was there home and away, and despite all my formative years being at Bournemouth, of the two, I root for Fulham. (And I like rooting!)

So COYW .. and come on you Cherries.

Bournemouth are in trouble but I think they'll stay up. Boro can't score so I think they'll go along with Hull & Sunderland(bad year for the northeast!) Ranieri's sacking will ironically save Leicester. Palace & Swansea should just about be OK-It'll be tight though.

[Woolly Mammoth]

I reckon there are more than three teams worse than Bournemouth, so they should end up safe.
