Its all in our hands now. A win and a draw should do it, pending expected results elsewhere of course. If we balls this up we deserve to go down.

It’s in our hands pending results elsewhere?!

I hope so, but we have learned over the years that you can't trust Arsenal.

Do you ever feel that you might be a bit paranoid where they're concerned?

He's right.

I've literally never met a decent Arsenal fan. Chelsea, Man U, Man City, even fucking Liverpool have one or two decent followers.

Arsenal - shower of bastards the absolute lot of them.

I'll have to introduce you to my wife.


Is she a goer? Nudge nudge wink wink know what I mean? Does she go? Likes games? I bet she does.

None of the usual "we thank him for his efforts and wish him well for the future" platitudes, I see.


I thought the same. It was a rather terse statement.

Talking about home and away performance is a bit of a red herring, isn't it? - without a crowd the home-performance record since the start of this mini-league has softened generally.

There haven't been as many shock results as I thought they'd be tbh, home form generally only been a factor for likes of us, Norwich and Bournemouth. We'd all surely have picked up more home points with fans in the ground. None have picked up an away win since restart (add Watford to that aswell).

Arsenal since the restart have won v Norwich and Liverpool at home and lost 3 of their 5 away games so that's generally what they've been doing during the season.

It's simply a question of motivation for them in these last two games but they're more likely to be relaxed and play free in their home environment. Watford will probably set up defensively to try to scrap out a point aswell.

The way I see it Sunday was a brilliant day for us we didn’t concede a goal! Bournemouth lost, Watford mislaid their manager cheerie stuff. This leaves Watford still in the driving seat but looking shaky and  cherries, almost certainly gone, as for us all that’ll I’ll say is  we have renewed hope UTV

Yes, pending expected results elsewhere, Citeh beating Watford, Arsenal beating Watford and hoping Everton turn up against Bournemouth.

Only one game left for Bournemouth and they look down.  Even if they beat Everton, say 1-0, it probably won't be enough for them.  That Southampton result was really damaging for them.

Yes, pending expected results elsewhere, Citeh beating Watford, Arsenal beating Watford and hoping Everton turn up against Bournemouth.

So we are hoping to beat Arsenal, who outplayed Citeh at the weekend but hope that said Citeh beat Watford and then the Arsenal we manage to beat return to form to beat Watford, with nothing to play for in the league and one eye on the cup final...….Okaaaaayyyy!

It’s comments like this that convince me that some fans want to see us relegated.

It's the last thing I want to see, but there is no logic to thinking we can get out of it with a win vs Arse, who we haven't beaten at VP since who knows when, and expect Watford not to do so.
