I sometimes feel like I'm going mad but why oh why do people want West Ham to win so we're relying on two different teams to do us a favour in beating Watford? We have to want it in our hands as much as we can which means being able to catch West Ham with a win on the last day.

As Watford as just as likely to get turned over against Man City and Arsenal and it makes West Ham safe come last day...bar a 10 goal swing.

We have to win our last 2. Just have to. But now West Ham have to win tomorrow. It would probably mean we're out the bottom 3 going into the last day.

We'd need a six goal swing with Watford to go into last day out of bottom 3. Ultimately whatever happens tomorrow has its plus points but winning on the last day and still going down would be a choker.

It would. Odd goal win against Arsenal and if they're losing 2 on the spin, including a game against Man City, that's a good possibility.

Who knows.

We really don’t deserve to stay up.

You always finish where you deserve.

Not sure why everyone is so downbeat. Bournemouth lost yesterday so if Watford and West Ham don't draw tomorrow we will have gained a point on two of our three relegation rivals. At this rate we should be able to haul our way to safety in just four or five more games.

I'm not sure I could take a 1-0 win against Arsenal. I mean, obviously, win 1-0 Villa, but my ticker in those last minutes would be close to exploding. So please drill them 2 or 3 instead Villa.

You'd think Southampton is the tricky one for them. Everton are absolutely toss, so don't bank on a result there.

You would hope that at some stage Everton might do “something”. On today’s basis, Ancelotti was no better than Smith.

And yet he made the substitutions that changed the game?

To be fair, Smith could've made the substitution that won the game if El Ghazi wasn't so shit!

So many worried about Watford and West Ham. I don’t think we’ll even finish above Bournemouth.

2 wins it is then. Will 37 points be enough to keep Villa up?

Yes. Nothing less than two wins now and hope it’s enough

We certainly need a winner in tomorrow's game (would still prefer West Ham) now. Draw and we'd have to win the final two games.

A loser and that's a small chance 35 points could be enough.
