Shows how predictable that this outcome has been coming.
Can't see a mention of it on the board.
Burnley lose at Spurs and are down with Sheff Utd. Luton need a mathematical miracle next week (need to win by seven and Forest lose by six)
It’s hardly surprising. The Championship was utter garbage last year - the worst it’s been in terms of quality for many years.
The three teams who got promoted from the Championship in 2021/22 will still be in the Premier League next season , while the three clubs who were promoted last season are coming straight back down. That speaks volumes.
The Championship in 2022/23 was unusually bad.
Really sad to see that whinging Nottingham Forest are going to stay up, but there can be no doubting that they were better than Sheffield United, Burnley and Luton. Some of tho Norwich teams to be relegated in recent years have been hopeless, but I’d say that Sheffield United have been the worst Premier League side since the notoriously bad Derby side that won just one match all season. Burnley were only truly competitive for a while in the last month and had a rabbits caught in the headlights look to them for the majority of the season. Luton, who I thought may break Derby’slow points record were the only ones out of the three to really have a go and, for a while in the winter, it looked like they could stay up, but ithey seemed to run out of steam about six weeks ago.
I reckon Burnley will be challenging at the top of next season’s Championship, but I’m not sure about the other two,- in fact, I wouldn’t be surprised to see Sheffield United struggle.

IMO- The 21/22 season was poor as the post-world realities hit home, but the 22/23 season hammered the poorly run clubs (Cardiff) as they did anything and everything to shed costs and those who went into Covid less mad did better as they didn't have to shed as much cost. There were a lot of poor teams last season and you didn't really need to do much to collect points from them.
The premier league is a TV money league so Covid didn't hurt them as much so was unaffected. This season's championship is better, but there are still alot of poor teams in it.
Be interesting to see what happens to Kompany, a media darling so may get a bigger job offer
That 4-3 loss at Bournemouth must have knocked Luton badly.
3-0 up and apparently coasting, to lose 4-3 must have been devastating
This will be only the second time in Premier League history that all three promoted sides have gone straight back down. The last time it happened was 1997/98.
Sheffield United have created a new Premier League record by conceding 101 goals (and counting). For context, that terrible Derby side back in 2007/08 conceded 89 goals.
As pointed out elsewhere I suspect, this makes our points totals of 30 and 34 for our two seasons in the Premier League look almost respectable….. :-/
