Thank goodness we’re out of this scrap. I still think Southampton, Bournemouth and Forest will be the ones to go, but it would be great if one of the real big teams get dragged in and go down. Be interesting to see how Palace react now, Wolves after their defeat yesterday and Leicester just can’t get going. Such an interesting watch.

I would think so as well. It’s bad enough calling out the players but when you criticise the club and board, you’re a gonna.

To be only four points off sixth place right now is an incredible turnaround. 50-55 points is surely a realistic finish now.

It was by no means perfect yesterday but the seeds are definitely there for all to see. We want to control the game and it’s great to see a team with an identity. Play out, pass pass pass, then explode in the final third. If we don’t have the ball, it’s yours to get. I love it. I’m 48 and have enjoyed some of the Taylor, Big Ron, Little/Gregory and Smith years but this has the feeling of being different somehow? I wouldn’t have put any of our past managers in the elite box but I would with Emery. He just knows the game, knows how to win and most of all, knows how a team should play. It’s not based on individual brilliance or luck here but a collective. Everyone has to contribute in a game and that’s what we’re seeing, and it can only get better. Can’t wait for our next game, the games after that and then an exciting summer. UTV

Morning all, isn’t the weekend and week ahead so much better after a Villa win? On reflection, Luiz also gets my MOTM but Mings, McGinn, Moreno and Cash should also receive an honorary mention.

Imagine if we’d sold him to Arsenal for twenty odd million in January? He’s played a lot of top flight football already and still only 24. Just a fantastic footballer.

3 goals 3 points 3 clean sheets in 4 games Top ten for a few hours at least

Whatever you say, he’s as straight as a thigh this ref.

Should give Ramsey some confidence that goal. He’s been better today.

That’ll do

Wolves have pulled two goals back now. Typical.

Wolves falling apart. 3-0 down now.

We need a second to settle the nerves.

Scores, to put Watford 1-0 up.

Right team, let’s all hope for the right result.

Oh well, that’s me done for today and for the week. Won £44 and a few pence overall but spent £35 on bets. Still, up £9 and a few pennies. I’ve enjoyed it over the week and nothing like the thrill of a win. edit - thanks again for all the tips everyone

A draw against West Ham away probably wasn’t the worst result in the end and again helps to give us a nice buffer against the teams below us. Hopefully we can go a place or two higher still, it’s going to be tough, but Fulham at least seem catchable. Another win on Saturday and it keeps the pressure on the teams above us. Kamara, Coutinho and possibly Dendoncker out? Maybe Dendoncker will make it on the bench at least? I don’t think Emery will shuffle the pack too much, although Bailey has been in woeful form for a while now, I can still see him starting this one, especially being at home: Martinez Cash Konsa Mings Moreno McGinn Luiz Buendia Ramsey Bailey Watkins Subs: Olsen, Sinisalo, Young, Digne, Carlos, Chambers, Dendoncker, Traore, Duran Bournemouth had a great result last weekend but they’re still near the bottom for a reason. If we can keep an eye on Billing who seems to charge forward a lot, then I’m pretty confident that we can get the right result here to keep our decent form going. Going to say a 2-1 win but could be a right slog and nervy game. UTV

Having bet £20 so far this week, I finally got an e/w right today and got £25 back. So at least I’m slightly up and tomorrow is another day. Thanks for all the tips etc you’re posting on here guys

Keep the tips coming guys. I’m down £5 today but it’s a bit of fun for me.

Haha, yes she did seem annoyed. Great strike of the ball though. I must admit, that one West Ham CB is a bit of a nasty piece and kicks anything that moves. We’re really building something and Carla Ward deserves a lot of credit here.

Having watched the game in full yesterday and most games this season, we really are a pleasure to watch. Really good football. Quite rightly, Hanson, Daly and Dali deserve all the accolades but we have real quality all over the pitch now. Hannah Hampton will be knocking on the England door again soon no doubt and Danielle Turner probably deserves consideration as well. Going under the radar a bit have been Sarah Mayling and Maz Pacheco, both of whom are very solid and dependable. I’ve been really impressed with both of them. Finally, the signings of Staniforth and especially Nobbs in January were truly inspired. If we can add two, three or four additions of similar calibre in the summer, maybe just maybe, we can really push the top four teams. Already we’re establishing ourselves as the best of the rest, which again is truly remarkable after only a couple of seasons in the WSL. Onwards and upwards, UTV.

I agree.
