Agree that Villa and Stoke will probably be ok

Enough quality there.

But Newcastle are perfectly capable of taking a dive and lack decent number for me. QPR are definitely paper thin and still have no strikers - but January could be big for them.

I know: all pointless speculation. But the look of so many teams this season suggests not just a standard that we can easily aspire to, but a real complacency.

How can a side like Sunderland spend all that money and yet have Kieran Richardson and Titus Bamble in their defence?

        How many premiership goals do you need to score until you're a proven premiership goalscor (NCFC) - Ken Dodds Dads Dog, Sep 27, 12:12:57
