Who will be the unlucky ones this upcoming campaign to get relegated.

The teams who got promoted

West Brom

Hull City and

Stoke

Hull City, Stoke City and Sunderland

Stoke, Hull & Sunderland for me. All lacking a goalscorer and the two promoted teams style of play (saw them play at least half a dozen times each last season. Best performance was Stoke's against Newcastle in the F.A Cup ) is that similar to Derby, which is more suited to the Championship than the Prem.  

I think it will be Hull (Not consistent enough) Stoke (Not subtle enough) and Reading (Lucky not to go down last year)

Are yoy being deadly serious! Do you watch football!

Reading went down last season!

Anyway, I think Stoke, Hull and either Sunderland or unfortunately Fulham.

Hull are a mid-table Championship outfit who have stumbled into the Premiership via the back door.

Stoke have missed out on too many transfer targets, and can't deal purely in loans as they have done for the past few years in the Championship.

I think Fulham and Sunderland have bought well enough to secure another season in the top flight, but Bolton haven't bought well enough (Elmander is a pricey and unproductive replacement for Anelka), and I think they will fall.

I think, well I hope that Elmander does well for Bolton. Just hope he doesn't end up a failure like Daniel Braaten last season.

But yeah, Bolton are another relegation candidate.

Like I have said in a previous comment. Why do you football lovers always feel the promoted teams will go straight back down? Reading didn't,Sunderland didn't and neither did Wigan so don't write off all three of them avoiding the drop. I feel they will.

I think that Roy Hodson's Fulham are doomed as are Gary Megson's Bolton and I think the final team to go down will be.....

West Ham unfortuneately for them.

At first I was serious but then I  realised my mistake and just sat and hoped no-one would notice.

Fat chance of that. OK I am now feeling very humble but I will bounce back and hope to enjoy the new season.

I will make a note of who goes down this time. So my revised answer will be Hull, Stoke and West Ham.

Ok, we've missed out on carson (one player last time i checked) so how is that too many targets? and last season every decent player at the club was owned by stoke city

loanees: ameobi (useless) riggott (played about twice) nash (one good performance)

Hull, (Panic buying too many Squad players a la Derby)  Bolton (need to reinvest in quality players, haven't yet), West Brom (they played using the right style of football in the championship, trying to pass it around premiership opposition will lead to their downfall)

Hull : ***! Watching them on setanta against Hearts now, they're playing soooo crap, Gardner can't pass to save his mother, Barmby can't even pass to save himself.

We'll see if Sunderland go down all you noobs out there who have apparently missed the signings of Tainio, Diouf, Chimbonda and Malbranque really need to wake up and smell the coffee!
