I have my Villa head on now after yesterday. We won't qualify because we're going to lose every game left and Brighton will win all 4 thye have left.

I think I may put a bet on. I never win those.

I wouldn’t.

I don't see Brighton winning today. Howe needs a result badly and would even talk up a draw. If they do win against the Saudi's I'll start to get a little nervous.

Leeds' result last night has the headlines saying they are "almost certainly safe".  They are above Newcastle.  If Leeds are still at risk, then so are Newcastle.  They're motivated alright, but Brighton are the better side at the moment.

Not sure if this is the right place for this observation:

10 years ago today Leicester won the title as a result of Spurs only drawing at Chelsea.

That season, Spurs finished 3rd and we were  relegated  - bottom of the table with only 17 points, half as many as the two other relegated clubs - Norwich and Newcastle.

Next season:

Leicester- Div 3
Spurs - Div 2?
Villa - Champions League?

I can absolutely see Brighton winning, hopefully they won’t though.

I'll take a draw. Let's get it down to one result on everyone barring Bournemouth.

Win tomorrow and we are in if Bournemouth drop points in the earlier game. Sadly, they are at home to Crystal sodding Palace and no good ever comes of Crystal sodding Palace matches.

Do you think they do it on purpose?

We just need to win tomorrow for a host of reasons - turn up Villa, it has been flat the last two games. Please Unai do not start Buendia.
