Not saying they won't in this game, but the Leicester victory was more to do with their collapse than Bournemouth being great. The sending off changed it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delphinho123 Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 It could very well be the case that Tuesday is about making sure Arsenal don’t score 3 or 4. I said it midweek, a draw could be an unbelievable result if saints hold out against Bournemouth. It puts them out of the equation on the last day.

VillaChris Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 10 minutes ago, Enda said: Very shrewd move by Villa to not sign Ings last summer. Very shrewd to know we didn’t have to splash £20m for him to keep us up. He was already on loan at Southampton, was born in Winchester so obviously has family and could be his boyhood team. I imagine they had option to buy and while he had injuries his ratio was 7 goals in 23 games so not too bad. As much as I give stick for how the club did business last summer I'd give them a pass on Ings. In normal times we'd have just got Tammy in full time for 25m.

Still Bournemouth 9/2 to win now so decent insurance price. A two goal defeat and we go above them I think.

I get what you are trying to say, but given this circumstances this is absolute bollox and nullifies the valid views you have It's a bizarre decision but not surprising from Watford.

We ain't finishing above Watford if we lose by even two goals v Arsenal imo, would leave too much to do on final day e.g. not just beat West Ham but have to win it by 2 or 3. If we lose by one goal to Arsenal then that takes it to -28. One goal win v West Ham takes it back to -27 so we then need Watford to lose by two goal margins to Man. City and Arsenal. All that without taking into account Bournemouth could just go and win at Everton which is very possible considering we nearly did it. Can't see us staying up without getting a draw at least v Arsenal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted July 19, 2020 Share Posted July 19, 2020 Odd decision to give it to Mullins again. After Quique got sacked he was caretaker for two matches, 2-0 defeat at Leicester and 0-0 draw at home to Crystal Palace so that dosen't suggest he's got some genius strategy to get points off Arsenal and Man. City but guess time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If this Bournemouth results holds I really think 4 points would be enough from the final two. Just need to put in a disciplined performance v Arsenal who are in a better place than they were three weeks ago. Easier said than done given our joke record v any decent top half team this season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can’t see it. I also think Bournemouth will get back into this. I’d say our hopes are at 5% and we need a miracle now. Arsenal will be very excited after their recent wins and we will struggle to cope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
