  Which way have the relegation odds moved since the start of the season?
  
  Crystal Palace
  Start of season - 4/7
  Now - 1/7
  The fact that they’re shorter than Sunderland is possibly a touch harsh (they’ve got two more points!) but that’s academic, they need to be longer than three. Fans of Ian Holloway might be tempted by 9/2 on him keeping them up, but it’s not looking likely is it?
  
  Sunderland
  Start - 5/1
  Now - 4/6
  I should have had some of this in August. It’s been a disastrous start for the Black Cats and that’s reflected here. Though if you fancy Poyet to make a difference and keep them up, get in at 11/10 now before he’s had chance to work his magic.
  
  Cardiff
  Start - 7/4
  Now - 2/1
  I’d have thought their start would have led to more of a lengthening. Granted, they’re only a point above the bottom three but they’ve not looked out of their depth so far. It could be that the bookies are expecting a downturn in form once the excitement of promotion has worn off.
  
  Hull
  Start - 4/6
  Now - 2/1
  Ditto Hull. With more than 25% of the points needed for survival already accrued, these odds are clearly more about an expected bursting of the bubble than the Tigers’ current form. Like Cardiff, they’re 2/5 to stay up, but personally I’d be looking for closer to evens.
  
  Norwich
  Start - 7/2
  Now - 3/1
  It’s not been a great start for the Canaries and I expected more from them after they made some decent-looking signings in the summer. You’d imagine they’d be ok if/when the likes of Hooper and van Wolfswinkel have settled but they might not, and their form in 2013 as a whole has been terrible. Could be worth a few quid at 3/1.
  
  Fulham
  Start - 7/1
  Now - 7/2
  Someone’s got to go, and if you fancy Cardiff and Hull to do the business then Fulham, along with Norwich, are probably the next most likely candidates. Why not cover your bases and back them both to fall miserably in to the Championship? Given the age of their squad, I can’t see them improving too much as the season progresses.

  Fulham @ 7/2 stands out, they have a squad with too many players who don't offer enough in a battle, Bent is pointless to have in the team unless he scores, Berbatov is borderline lazy as is Tarrabt

  Agreed, and Cardiff are still 2/1 despite all the speculation about Mackay resigning. It could end in tears if he did so that might be worth a go as well.

  cardiff look to have a lot of problems of their own making to contend with now, i wonder how it will effect them. surely bent and berbatov will get enough goals to keep fulham up.

  You'd think so, but it depends how bothered they are, especially Berbatov. He hasn't scored for them yet in the league this season and Bent's only got a couple, though to be fair he hasn't played loads.
  
  Could be an interesting few weeks at Cardiff.

  i think the owners think football clubs are like subway franchises, you work in all areas then you can mnage a team. he will go from painting the stadium to managing the team in rapid time.

  It's absolute madness really this whole Cardiff situation, you sometimes if foreign fully understand the importance of experience at all levels if you are to stay in the premier league.

  as long as your not a cardiff fan then it is prety funny to be honest. i think you just have to look at what has happened to blackburn since they were taken over to see what will happen.

  I don't think it'll be AS bad as Blackburn. It's not looking great but Tan's done pretty well for them so far and the signings have been sensible.
  
  But that's the risk you take when you welcome the foreign cash I guess. For every Man City there's a Blackburn, every Southampton a Birmingham. I think the FA need to be more thorough in vetting these people.

  i know i was joking, they thought they could make champions league with 5 million transfer budget and the squad they had. very hard to judge owners real intentions.
