Take the lead against Liverpool. Bottle it. Zero points.

Go two up against Man U. Bottle it. Winning goal scored by someone who will never be heard of again, deep in injury time. Zero points.

Palace. Ayew scores early, we go two-one up, Benteke equalises. One point.

Everton. They seem to have a chip on their shoulder about us for some reason. They'll win. Delph will probably score. Zero points.

Chelsenal Hotspur. We know what happens with any of these c***s. Lose to everyone around us, beat us. They'll rest loads of players and still win. We'll probably take the lead. Zero points.

West Ham. Already down, just like Newcastle in 2016 we take them with us with a draw. One point.

Emile Heskey was on 5live this morning and said us and Bournemouth are gone.

Looking at the fixtures, and current form, he couldn’t see any way out for us.

It’s hard to argue. We’ve taken what 2 points from 27? If we survive we will have had a massively atypical upturn in form. I hope it happens but the odds are against it. Manure next, who we never beat and who have hit good form.

Most on the Watford forum think they're as good as down if they don't beat Norwich. Think they're assuming we'll find a win from nowhere.

Do you not think the last few performances have generally been better though? You could make a case that we are slightly unfortunate to only have two points from the last five games so it’s not inconceivable that we pick up, say, a win and a couple of draws from our next five games.

Also, taking the form to a certain point as you have, you could say Watford have five points from the last thirty. We would only need a massive atypical upturn in form if they have one too.

We are more likely to go down than Watford but there isn’t that much in it.

Man United - 0
Palace - 3
Everton - 1
Arsenal - 0
West Ham - 3

35 points. Watford beat Norwich and draw with Newcastle  lose to West Ham (to confirm their survival) and then get drummed by Man City and Arsenal. 33 points.

Fingers crossed.

A Watford fan:

Quote
Obviously Liverpool have decided to be abysmal for some reason, however, fair play to Villa

This performance is everything we should have aspired to last night. Strengthens my belief that they will grind their way above us over the final few games

I'll scroll on to see if their version of Paul digs him out *wonky face *

Found the Hertfordshire Risso!

I just can't see us beating anyone, even Norwich. Villa will overtake us at some point

big week for us

could do with a draw or loss for Watford when they play Norwich if they win they are 4 points ahead of us before we play Man Utd

we will probably (nailed on) lose against Man Utd
 but then we got C Palace which if ever there was a must win game that is it
 
thats why if Watford can just take a point or lose against Norwich we can go above them as their remaining games are on paper harder than ours i think

i think its a straight shoot out between us and Watford and the results this week will be crucial,
 in a way theirs more than ours because we know what we will do

Performance has been a little better but the big problem, as far as I can see anyway, is that our team doesn’t appear to have goals in it. As soon as we concede we’re in massive trouble. Unless we start banging in some goals we’re going to struggle.

I can understand why he might not start, but it seems mad not to have Hourihane on the pitch when we're chasing a goal toward the ends of games.
