EPL - which 3 teams will be relegated?

It’s early doors at the moment, as they say in football parlance, but you have one week in which to decide which 3 teams will plummet to the second division, or whatever stupid name the marketing people call it now.

My choices: Portsmouth, **West Ham ** (brave choice that, with them sitting pretty in second place), and Blackburn.

One-Bryan-Robson to keep the Baggies up again, and Paul Jewell to do the biz for the rugby league giants.

Teams here:

Charlton
West Ham
Arsenal
Man Utd
Tottenham
Chelsea
Aston Villa
Bolton
Birmingham
Fulham
Liverpool
Man City
Middlesbrough
West Brom
Wigan
Blackburn
Sunderland
Everton
Newcastle
Portsmouth

To make it more interesting and to decide the winner in case of ties, I’ll make it last three in the correct order. To kick off:

18: West Ham
19: Portsmouth
20: Blackburn

And I’ll pop a link in the new English football thread so people can find this before gridiron and ice hockey knock it off the front page.

My picks to drop:

  1. Portsmouth
  2. Wigan
  3. Sunderland

I think West Ham United will avoid relegation, as will Fulham and West Bromwich Albion.

Lot’s of people don’t give Blackburn good odds to stay up, but I think they’ll do just enough to survive.
