Relegation Watch

[VinnieChase84]

So what do we need to happen:
- West Ham win v Watford
- Southampton win v Bournemouth
- Man City smash Watford
- We take something v Arsenal
- We beat West Ham who are safe and on the beach
- Arsenal beat Watford

Simple right ;-)

This is happening

West Ham are safe after a 1-1 draw with Utd.

They played themselves? No wonder they managed a draw, the cheating twats.

I don’t get why people are being insulted for being miserable and negative. We’re Brummies, it’s in our DNA. I’m fucking furious that the selfish bastards have given me a vague slither go hope which I know they will dash in the 95th minute on Sunday.

West Ham removed from the poll. One down. Two to go from three left.

I'd love things to be straight forward on Sunday. 20 minutes in and Everton are 2 up and Arsenal are 3 up and we can relax and play out the most boring 0-0 in history.

Can't see it happening like that somehow. The championship last day night was incredible and we've seen many odd premier league results on final days before.

West Ham showed tonight they're not even to score against and we'll have to defend well at the other end again.

Nice piece today in the Express and Star telling us that we were writing Dean off when we were seven points behind and seemingly down.  Worth a read but I wish he'd written it after this Sunday and after we are absolutely staying up!

Its funny how we always seem to get  more favourable journalism  from the Wolverhampton E&S than the Birmingham Mail.

They don't have to chase hits and their Villa writer is an absolute top man.

Yep, they're just a better newspaper all-round, from my experience.

By miles. Their on-line presence included.

100%, Matt is one of the best

I wouldn't go that far. They're horribly right-wing.

It bothers me that unlike Villa (or Watford), Bournemouth will go into their game on Sunday with one big advantage over the others, ie Bournemouth know absolutely what they need to do - they simply need to win.  For them, nothing less than a win will be of any use.  Not only that, Bournemouth will also know that a win for them by a single goal will be as good as a win by 2,3, 4 or however many goals, regardless of what Villa or Watford are doing.  So nothing that happens elsewhere should deflect them from that one single, simple objective - to win their game, by means of any score.

Villa and Watford on the other hand will go into their games knowing that the results or indeed the scores that they need may change however many times, as games elsewhere twist and turn as the afternoon unfolds, including of course what's happening with Bournemouth.

I don't like it.
