Relegation Watch

Let's try again:

Everton 1-2 Villa
West Ham 2-0 Watford

Villa 0-1 Arsenal
Watford 0-3 Man. City

Arsenal 2-1 Watford
West Ham 1-1 Villa

I think with that we stay up on 34 points and goals scored.

We must beat Everton given what they produced today and also West Ham beating Watford makes far more sense than the other two possible results as they'd be on the beach for final day.

There's still a chance.

You might be right but I was thinking a West Ham/Watford draw with them both dropping two points might be the best result for us.

No not for me. Watford could easily lose their last three and we need points total to be as low as possible so that would be 34 and hopefully Watford would get at least one heavy defeat. We're 6 behind them in GD.

With a win West Ham would be all but safe and if we only were on 33 points going into final day they couldn't go down so you'd like to think they wouldn't bother much.

We have far more chance of getting a draw/win at West Ham on last day if they're already safe, think that's a pretty logical conclusion.

A draw or Watford win leaves in our own hands, West ham winning would mean we could beat them and still not get promoted if Watford get a win at Arsenal.

100% agree. We have a good chance last day if West Ham are safe, still need another win from next 2, at least there is still hope

Even the word hopeless has hope in it!

If Watford beat Arsenal fair play. Something we've not done all season. We also play Arsenal a few days before so will have one final chance to put that sorry record right. David Luiz will probably play like McGrath v us.

The task is harder though. We would need to win two games to stay up whereas if Watford lost all three a win and a draw may be enough.

Promoted?

[cdbearsfan]

I'm fairly certain Arsenal will beat us then lose to Watford, if there is any chance that could prove crucial.

[Des Little]

This is going to be like the Krypton Factor with all these possibilities

Promoted?

Yeah, sorry, was in the middle of a chat with my baggie supporting cousin when I was writing that, telling her how funny it'd be if they fuck it up.

Beat Everton, and Watford and West Ham might just start to shit themselves.  The thing is with with the game bewteen the two of those, it's not fatal whatever happens.  If (and it's a big if) we do beat Everton, then a draw between those two and it's back in our own hands.   A Watford win and it's also back in our hands.  A West Ham win would mean we'd still need Watford to drop points, but then the Spammers might not try very hard in their last game.

One more point  right now would be huge to us. Such a crying shame we didn't hang on for a point against Chelsea.

[TaxDodger]

I think a West Ham win against Watford might be the best result for us really. Watford have two very difficult matches after that, and West Ham being safe before the last day of the season could help us.

I think so too.

Agreed. Draw would be the worst result

I don't think so.  Keeps them both in the shit, as long as we beat Everton.
