Watford getting absolutely eviscerated.

Also if anyone hasn't watched "Take us Home Leeds United" on amazon prime I would strongly recommend doing so. Really good look into understanding the history of Leeds United.

I feel for the Watford players. They had one objective today--don't get destroyed. And they're managing now to get destroyed. That's gotta feel terrible.

They better pray Villa doesnt get a result today.

I'm confident Villa *can* totally squander this opportunity! I sure hope they don't, though.

Watford almost gave up a 5th at the end.

O/U on the number of times Grealish goes down, fouled or not -10.5.

I'll take the over, for sure.

I'm also sure Arsenal can squander there opportunity.

Bananas and orange slices for everyone.

I hate this water break crap. They get 5 subs. It's England and in the low 60s. Just play soccer.

Goal!!!

So as it stands right now I am pretty sure Watford goes down and Villa survives.

Any Villa win puts them ahead on GD.

Sure hope so!

This Villa team is worst in the league at giving up goals in the last 15 minutes. So, no Villa lead is safe. Ever.

Sideshow Bob with a bit of the Dark Arts there. Rake of the Achilles.

And on cue Grealish goes down and gets the call on a perfectly fair shoulder challenge by a much smaller player.

My eight year old just switched it to the Astros game.

He's only hit the turf three times in 30 minutes. Off his form.

It's because they can't just grab any water bottle from the sideline.

That was a good game. Villa played with their collective hair on fire.

Sunday is going to be great.

Bournemouth needs a lot of help now. They have to win and AVL and Watford both have to lose. That would get them through on GD.

It was highly entertaining. What a great day for Arsenal to show up with a half-hearted effort!

A +5 shift in GD today--who saw that coming?!

Sunday will be fun.

Hell I didnt even notice they were still there. I thought the goal difference was too great but you are right. They could pull it off. They have Everton.


I am good with Bournemouth going down. They were supposed to be a one hit wonder and hung around for I think four seasons. They are not a big enough club to take a spot long term.

None of the three relegation teams control their own destiny. And as of now 3-4-5 are also up for grabs. Tomorrow will be huge at the top. There could be 5 games that matter Sunday.

What fun!

Who else is a Villa fan? I chose them as my team about 6 years ago, and damn what a ride it's been.

Here. Been on them since around 2010 or so.

Ok everyone. Time to call your shot for who goes down.

Going down:

Norwich -- already done
Bournemouth -- Everton supporter here. As flat as we've looked since clinching another mid-table finish, we're just too good to give up all 3 points to Bournemouth.
Watford -- close the season out against Arsenal. Just got bent over by Man City. Just fired their manager for some weird reason. Club seems a mess.

Safe:

West Ham -- still technically eligible to be relegated but would have to get absolutely curb stomped by Aston Villa and Watford would have to smoke Arsenal. Not happening. Also have a match in hand -- albeit today against Man U, 1 point seals the deal.

Aston Villa -- hungry to stay up, they pull the "great escape" and squeak out a 1 goal win over West Ham on Sunday.

Agree. Sad day for Delia and Sir Elton.

West Ham looking for 3 points vs mufc to leave zero doubt

1 point is still good enough to mathematically eliminate them from relegation headed into the final day.

I didnt watch the matches, just looking at results, but...

Nottingham imploded.
They had to lose and allow Swansea to overcome a 5 goal difference.
Unreal

Christ Forest. And what an awful looking set of playoff teams from my perspective. Brentford is the only one I dont have negative feelings about since it would never even occur to me in a million years they would ever get promoted to the Premier League.
