Premier League 2019/20

[thebigfella]

Here is how I think this will play out.

Leicester to beat Spurs
Utd to beat Hammers
Pool to beat Chelsea

Due to their superiour goal difference the Leicester Utd game will be played out as a boring nil all draw; like those world cup group games were both teams need a draw to qualify out of the group.

[quit yo jibbajabba]

Who cares, all of a sudden we have Connolly, Obafemi, McGoldrick and Long all plying their trade in the Premier League with a few goals to boot

Smallbone getting a few games for Southampton too and looks decent.

Villa completely f*cked it up last night. 1 nil up, missed a sitter from 1 yard and then let Everton score a late equaliser. Now the only hope is that either West Ham or Watford don't pick up any more points (same with Bournemouth) and hope Villa beat Arsenal and West Ham.  Bob Hope and No Hope...

The race for the Arsene Wenger 4th place trophy is really heating up too.  I think Chelsea will just hold on for fourth with Utd finishing 3rd.

West Ham play Watford tonight

Yeah hard to know what way I'd prefer that to go. Maybe West Ham to lose it, and then lose to Utd. Showdown with Villa last game of the season. Providing villa have at least scraped a draw v Arsenal (unlikely).

Or Watford to lose it, get a thumping off city and lose to Arsenal.

West Hams goal difference looks like another point at this stage. I think villa's best bet is west ham winning and then being safe so not really giving two shits about the last game. Watford getting tanked in the meantime

Yeah a draw this evening would be the worst result for Villa and B'mouth. Would need 2 wins then. West Ham and Watford will both know this, and if they are level with 20 mins to go I don't see either of them pushing too hard to chase a winner.

did you copy and paste that from match of the day last night

West Ham got a big win tonight against Watford to make West Ham all but safe. Watford on the other hand could be in a bit of trouble with 2 tough games left.

Bournemouth have the kindest run in. Watford's goal difference could take a battering on Tuesday if Man City are in the mood. Villa need at least 4 points as their gd is the poorest of the 3. The interest levels of their opponents will decide a lot. Arsenal, City, Everton, West Ham, Southampton.  None of them have anything to play for really. Although in Southampton's case they won't want to lose a derby.

Nigel Pearson sacked as Watford manager with two games to play.

Bournemouth beaten by Southampton but their relegation fight along with Villa should go down to the final day seeing that Watford play City next.

If Watford's goal difference does take a battering, then Villa could sneak safe even with a narrow loss and a narrow win.

Following set of results would see Villa safe:
Watford 0 - 3 Man City
Villa 0 - 1 Arsenal
West Ham 0 - 1 Villa
Arsenal 1 - 0 Watford

Watford and Villa would both finish on 34pts with GD of -27. Villa would have scored 40 goals to Watford's 34.
(oddly specific set of results, but just to show that the GD isn't as far apart as it seems, given that for it to come into account, Villa need to win one game and Watford to lose so minimum net difference of 2GD)

Strange timing to be sacking Pearson. He seems to be a bit of a character.

Cant really understand that sacking.  There has to be more to it.  He can be a bit of a ballix so maybe he has rubbed someone up the wrong way.

Suppose with quick turnaround this probably is the time to do it? Word of players knowing before he knew doing rounds here online.

Seems a very odd club.

Watford need to replace him with Ranieri and they'll be Premier League winners next year. Think Pearson more or less built that Leicester team and Ranieri got all the credit

[Cunny Funt]

Watford as expected well beaten by City, Arsenal v Villa to come. As it stands Watford, Bournemouth, Villa have the same GD.
