[Sir Megson]

I think if you look back over the recent years I think the teams that have bounced straight back are the ones that have managed to keep a strong nucleus of the PL squad together.  Newcastle, Burnley and Hull have all done that in the last 3 years, whereas teams that cleared house for whatever reason seemed to struggle - Sunderland, Wolves, Wigan, Hull (this season) and Villa.  Of course the turmoil behind the scenes at those clubs was also a big contributing factor to their struggles, you seem far more stable than them to start with.

And then we went to Barcelona...
