Aegs was worse but this was bad 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hippo Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Actually with our GD being 1 better than Watford - we could win at West Ham and still go down ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Diabolical' would be missing an open goal or taking an airshot or something. Agree El ghazi one yard out not willing to throw his body in to a defender in order to get the ball over the line is diabolical Davis is a miss, a bad miss but let's not pretend every other striker in the league scores that because they don't, more than a few miss 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watford haven't beaten Arsenal by more than 1 goal since 1987, though, so history is on our side. You get the impression that the Pearson sacking has sucked the life out of that time, and they'll almost certainly go down. I think Bournemouth are our bigger threat - very winnable game against Everton. But at least with Bournemouth we have total control over that outcome, just need a point to wipe them out.

If Watford win with more goals they could stay up, say we win 1-0 and Watford could win 3-0. It ain't over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well for us to win we'd have to have another +! on the GD which means Watford would have to beat Arsenal by 3 clear goals. Not totally impossible i suppose but fairly unlikely. If you can go away to Arsenal and win 3/4-0 on the last day to survive with no real manager then fairplay to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They will probably get chances on the break v Arsenal with Sarr, Deeney and Welbeck. We got chances on the break and we're not exactly a rapid counter attacking team. Hopefully Arsenal will be 2 or 3 up at that point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob182 Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 I don’t think we need to worry about Watford this weekend. Arsenal will have an eye on the cup final, but also, Arteta really won’t want to lose two games in a row to bottom 4 teams. He’ll tell them they’re playing for a place in the cup final team and they’ll beat a poor, rudderless Watford team at a canter. Bournemouth have more chance of beating a fairly average Everton. But what’s the deal? Is it... If we draw or win, then Bournemouth can’t catch us. If we lose, then Bournemouth need to score and win by 2 goals to overtake us, or win by 1 goal but score...3?... in the process, to go ahead of us on goals scored? I’m lost.

Best position is West Ham, 3 clear and ridiculous GD in favour. We were actually like that in the McLeish season. Could've still gone down if we'd lost 14-0 to Norwich on the final day.

I said that if we went into the final day with a chance I'd be over moon. To be going into the final day not only with a chance, but with it entirely in our own hands is better than I ever expected. Fair play to Smith and the whole team. They've been excellent the past 3 games. Just bring it home now lads. Smith teams always finish strongly 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nick76 Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Don’t break my heart now Villa, I’ve been saying all along we would stay up and we now have a great chance. I’m so nervous now, it all comes down to Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
