Bottom Six Mini League
Hello everyone and welcome to the very first Bottom Six Mini League! TheSloth has been compiling a mini league involving the teams at the top for the last few seasons, so I decided why not do one involving the teams at the bottom? These are comprised of the teams that finished 15th-17th last season, plus the three promoted clubs: Crystal Palace, Bournemouth, Sunderland, Burnley, Middlesbrough and Hull will be fighting it out.
It is of course subjective - these teams will not necessarily be the bottom six at the end of the season, however they are treated as such for the purpose of this mini league. Also, as seen with TheSloth's mini league, the teams that finish top/bottom of the mini league do not necessarily reflect their real table positions, as seen with Man. United winning it despite finishing 5th and Man. City coming bottom - below the likes of United, Liverpool and Chelsea, who were below them in the real table. Code:

Hull and Burnley will most likely be competing for who finishes bottom, both in this mini league and the proper one.
Not sure on Middlesboro yet. Benteke's a decent signing for Palace and in theory I'd expect them to do quite well in this now, but as their league form dropped off a cliff around November/December last season and still hasn't recovered who can be sure? Wouldn't be surprised if Pardew is replaced during the season. Moyes might not have covered himself in glory with his recent jobs but I'd be surprised if their wasn't some improvement with them. I think Bournemouth will do ok. |

Watched Bournemouth's match today on Sky......they looked very poor
West Ham looked very poor as well but they have most of their first team out injured so they might improve as the season progresses |

Palace, Bournemouth and Sunderland already competing for the wooden spoon after two games and nil points.
Not bad starts from Hull (especially), Burnley and Middlesbrough though still very early days of course. |

Wh are Palace in this mini-league?

Reading things properly gets in the way of being angered. Can't have that

...and the outlook has indeed changed! With Burnley beating Crystal Palace 3-2 and Sunderland winning 2-1 away to Bournemouth, Burnley are now level on points with Bournemouth and Sunderland are a point further back. Hull are now at the bottom and need to pick up more points soon...

Sunderland got the win they needed and a big win too, beating Hull 3-0! That catapults them up to 2nd in this mini league and leaves Hull languishing 3 points adrift of Burnley and Bournemouth at the bottom.
