Well I'm afraid after reading this forum for the last few months It can only be Leicester Tigers, for these reasons: All reasons given on here in the past few months:

They havent bought enough quality players while everyone else has.
The salary cap.
Sky give L.T lots of money to televise games.
They will play too many games on a Friday.
They will also play too many games on a Sunday.
Tigers play too many games.
The Anglo Welsh cup is :censored:.
Their away shirt is white.
They are only interested in making money, not winning.
England play too many games.
LT players get unfair treatment from ref's & the RFU in general.
The RFU is :censored:.
So is Rob Andrew.
They havent started work on the expansion of WR yet.
The new badge is not as good as the old one.
The fans werent consulted about the new badge.
They've banned smoking at WR.
The beer has gone up & the bar staff are :censored:.
Matt Henson keeps being spotted in various places.

How on earth can Tigers possibly avoid relegation with all these matters unresolved :lol: Oh yes & I have an ST for next year. :wink:

I can't believe you left out:

The complaints of people about players performances on this forum leading to a further loss of confidence and therefore form, the poor fragile things;

and

people standing in the seating areas, leading to the stadium being closed by H & S officer, meaning we play all our 'home' games at a neutral venue;

and

the insecurity of not knowing who our head coach will be for the following season.

ND1 for us then Steve, with you there to cheer us on our way down. :wink:

Saints will do very well this season. They proved last year that apart from Frank( Spencer) they had no need to buy players they just recruited from their academy. Like Tigers do and they finished the season pretty well.


Do Not Underestimate Saints.
Totally agree G, based on form since Jan 06, the table looked like this.

LEAGUES TABLE FORM from JAN 2006 to End Of Season
Sale 38
Irish 38
Saints 36
Leicester 31
Gloucester 30
Wasps 30
Newcastle 29
Bath 25
Bristol 19
Saracens 18
Leeds 16
Worcester 15

Saints won't get relegated, my money is on Newcastle.

Sorry Iain but I don't agree when you say Wuss are the weakest team. For me it's Bristol who are the weakest team. Wuss have more quality in there team with Sanderson, Drahm, Gomers, Delport and a certain Mr Morris and I think given enough games Garvey could come good again. Compare the Wuss team to Brizzles they have a much better squad thats why I think Bristol could go down but it's gonna be close between them and Falcons.

Gomers has been dropped.
Im not sure hes actually in a team at the moment!
Got to be something behind that, that Wuss aren't letting on.

My moneys on Brizzle or Wuss *snickers*

I think it'll be Bristol this year.

Judging by the usual accuracy of my predictions, they'll now make the playoffs :wink:

I reckon it'll be Bath for the drop, my reasoning being that their kit is now supplied by Puma. Puma's track record in sponsorsing premiership teams aint too good: Richmond in 98/99 - went bust & thrown out of the league, Bristol in 02/03 - relegated. Here's hoping.

Barf - maybe - they have hovered for a while now. Just got my tickets through for the 9th, so will be able to make a better judgement then - I do think it will be very close as usual this year with everybody capable of beating everybody ( remember Leeds almost turning us over at Welford Road in the rain ) and I would not make the Queens certs to stay up either - despite Deano (legend) at the helm.
Records suggest it is not easy first year up no matter what
