Relegation Watch

[Steve67]

A week before the FA Cup Final, you would not blame Arsenal from protecting their main players.  Saying that, if there are no under-23's in competitive games, they have to go with their main 25 man squad rather than play the complete stiffs like Liverpool had to in the League Cup.

We can't afford to lose to Arsenal. Bournemouth are capable of beating Everton and Watford getting atleast a point from Arsenal.

Bournemouth can stay up in they beat Everton and us and Watford lose our last two and the goal difference swings there way. Of course that can happen and it wouldn’t necessarily be a miracle escape. But if I was a Bournemouth tonight I’d be thinking my club was down bar the shouting. Watford’s sacking of Pearson is mad with two games left, especially as they won two before West Ham. It could galvanise them with Deeney tub thumping, my guess is if Man City score early they crumble. We just have to start in the front foot against Arsenal. But depending if Watford ship some to city we could actually lose by the odd goal and still go to West Ham with a chance. Madness

It's starting to feel that some people want us to fail just so they are proven right on a supporters forum...sad.

I'm quite sure that's not true.

Anyone predicting we'll go down is hardly some incredible Nostradamus - we're 7/2 on for relegation.

The narrative with some will all be about how lucky we were to stay up if we do

That's lengthened. People piling money on Watford now.

Just caught up with Watford sacking Pearson. Confirmed now.

Bonkers! Might be good for us though!

in 1963/64 Liverpool won the First Division, Leeds the Second Division.

Villa finished 4th from bottom. We lost to Arsenal away but beat them at home, we drew with West Ham at home but beat them away.

Just need history to repeat itself.

Pus Coventry the 3rd (I think).

Yes, I’m furious about the reaction that I imagine some fans might have if something which might not happen happens.

No way. I would happily eat humble pie for years. I want us to stay up more than anything, this season has been tough but we all want the same thing. Another crack at the PL next season.

Cheers, overheard someone briefly mention the Leeds / Liverpool thing so assumed it must involve a good omen of sorts but hadn't made the Coventry connection.
