VillaChris Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 4 minutes ago, fightoffyour said: Still unlikely that the GD is overturned, unless you’re just assuming that Man City won 5-0 again. There are good arguments for every result in the Watford vs West Ham match (worst outcome a Watford win, though still not a disaster), I reckon a draw is ideal and others think a West Ham win would be. The fact that we can actually have this discussion probably means it doesn’t really matter that much. I think it's possible. There's only 6 goals in it and we've scored more than them so would finish above if the GD was equal. If Watford are losing their last three then that's at least 3 goals closer to us and then you add in us winning at least one game so that's a 4 goal swing straight away. Need to make sure if we lose one game it's not 3-0 like the other night. You'd like to think Man. City would be capable of sticking 4-5 past Watford, they did it v Brighton. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post villalad21 Posted July 12, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 12, 2020 It's too easy to blame it on Crystal Palace being at the "beach" Burnley had nothing to play for yet they beat West Ham. We played well today. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Keyblade Posted July 12, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 12, 2020 Hoping for a West Ham win because they're actually a good team. I don't see them losing all they're remaining games. But also because it looks like the best outcome. Watford have City and Arsenal after West Ham which is a good bet for 0 points. By which point West Ham will be on the beach on the last day and could gift us 3 points (they're awful when they're not up for it). Going into the final day against West Ham with them needing a result would be horrible. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was the score in the cup final last year? 6-0? They’re capable of sticking more than 4-5 past them. Watford are at home though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post gaz90 Posted July 12, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted July 12, 2020 I'll wait until after the Everton game to decide if I want Watford or West Ham to win. If we manage to get 3 points against Everton, I'd hope for a draw as you'd hope Man Utd beat West Ham, leaving it in our hands on the final day to potentially put them down (unless we manage to beat Arsenal as well). If we get anything less than three points against Everton, I'd hope for West Ham to win as we could potentially stay up with 4 points (with them hopefully being on the beach on the final day). 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The west ham watford game is massive But we still have to get something at both Everton and Arsenal - who knows !!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 We have to treat it now as if we're in a knock out competition, beat Everton and we're through to the next round. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watford are at home though. Completely forgot about the cup final. Man. City do seem to hammer Watford everytime they play although it would be typical for them to have another Southampton game when they can't score. Anyway their results at Watford since Guardiola came in: 0-5 0-6 1-2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A draw would probably see us safe when it's all said and done. We definitely need at least 4 points from Everton and West Ham though and I would prefer that game to be as easy as possible, so as much as I hate them, I hope West Ham are safe by then. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hobbit Feet Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Big result today but at the end of the day we still need to win at Everton which is a big ask. Even Bournemouth might beat Leicester later on as there not in a great run of form. Lots of twists and turns and we’ve given ourselves a punchers chance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCJonah Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 The beauty is, we have 3 games that you can say give us a chance of getting something. West ham and Watford can't say the same. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvonVillain Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 (edited) It's that Arsenal game I worry about... against Watford. They can be brilliant one game and horrific the next. You don't need me to explain which way around this pattern might fall. *edit* though at least Arsenal are at home, and will want to give the piped-in fans something to cheer.

Yeah, logically you have to hope that West Ham are safe by the final game, so they turn up with no motivation and we can play out a draw. (Personally I expect us to lose to Everton and Arsenal anyway, since I'm an eternal pessimist). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 The hope levels after Thursday will either be through the roof, or buried 6ft under the patio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Our goal difference is only four goals worse off than Watford, wouldn't take the most unlikely set of results for us to overtake them by gaining just four points... If they were to lose to West Ham 2-1, Man City 4-0, and Arsenal 2-0, and we were to draw with Everton 1-1, lose to Arsenal 3-1, and beat West Ham 2-1... Then we'd finisih above them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
