Pretty tempted to go up to Scouseland for a beer and watch in a pub . Is that mental ?

I've also been thinking about it as well but we are shielding the wife until August so best not.

It's a really good idea to shield the wife from Scousers, probably well beyond August though mate.

Well, we’re back to 19th as it stands. Bournemouth 2-1 up against 10 men.

I don’t think it changes much.

We’ve won our most winnable game, that’s all for now. We probably needed to win 3 of our last 4 and even then it could have been out of our hands. If we do that and we still go down, we’ll, it will be a pisser but it’s our own fault. Nothing’s changed, slim chance of survival, variables outside our control

Yeah I agree. I thought we’d need to win 3 out of 4, so now 2 from 3. Bournemouth have Man City, Southampton and Everton away. If we win 2 out of our last 3 will 36 points be enough?

The goal difference is starting to look a bit negligent now, given that we had a decent one until fairly late in the season and it was relatively tightly clustered in a few embarrassing results where the players gave up.

Could've done without last 20 minutes. Bournemouth got a better GD than us again. Hopefully Man. City will put 4-5 past them to put that right.

Suppose one way of looking at things is we need minimum 34 points to survive and Bournemouth could still lose 2 of their last 3 given one of those is Man. City away. Southampton will want to put them down aswell and they're good away (mind you so are Palace).

They were all but down even with a draw.

Leicester have literally given Bournemouth 4 goals tonight. Just hope Man City batter them midweek and then Southampton take the derby seriously after that. Going to the wire

The promising factor is that Southampton are a good, professional side.

Yep, I believe in Ralph Hussenthal and all who sail in him.

You'd have hoped the same could've been said of Leicester until that second half. They served up something even worse than we have done this season.

We need to win 2 games and possibly draw the other.

Ings should enjoy himself against that Bournemouth backline. I only had a passing interest in game until it got to 1-1 and honestly thought Leicester had scored another goal, it had the air of them being 2 or 3 up, they were so comfortable in the first half and wasted so many chances.

The punishment for them is they'll probably miss out on even finishing 5th now.

That Leicester second half was so bad it should trigger an investigation from the Gambling Commission!
