It bothers me that unlike Villa (or Watford), Bournemouth will go into their game on Sunday with one big advantage over the others, ie Bournemouth know absolutely what they need to do - they simply need to win. For them, nothing less than a win will be of any use. Not only that, Bournemouth will also know that a win for them by a single goal will be as good as a win by 2,3, 4 or however many goals, regardless of what Villa or Watford are doing. So nothing that happens elsewhere should deflect them from that one single, simple objective - to win their game, by means of any score.Villa and Watford on the other hand will go into their games knowing that the results or indeed the scores that they need may change however many times, as games elsewhere twist and turn as the afternoon unfolds, including of course what's happening with Bournemouth.I don't like it.

Win, and then unless managerless Watford have a freak 3-0 win against Arsenal, then we stay up and they go down. If it's 0-0 in the 90th minute I hope we still push forward like we're 1-0 down in the FA Cup final, because you simply don't know what's going to happen elsewhere.
Could always do what Fulham did last night and purposely come out late. They didn’t kick off until 2 minutes after the rest.
