Premier League Predictions: Who Will Finish Bottom Half?

11th: Norwich

Chris Hughton CC Flying high in seventh is no mean feat in the toughest league in the world, and with all due respect to Norwich fans, it can't and won't last. Even as I write this, they've dropped down to tenth. The argument that anything can happen in football is always a valid one, but I merely point you to the fact that in 2009, Hull were fourth in the league, a position that, had they held it, would have given a newly promoted team Champions League football,and yet they only just survived on the last day of the season. Norwich are better than that though, and if these massive results against the big teams keep on coming, they'll be well placed to prove me wrong. But (and there's always a but), there's a reason a cliche becomes just that, because it tends to be true - and football is a 38 game season, regardless of how sick you are of being told that. I would also ask you to remember that last season the Canaries finished 12th, and so a prediction of 11th might actually be rather generous.
