so... 11th against 12th... we could get done by Watford TWICE in a season... not twice ever... twice... IN A SEASON... yeah... football's a funny old game... our home record against Watford is shit... W1 D1 L3... that's the actual stats... not some ultra depressive way of looking at a glass half full...
so... we have our shiny new signing ready to take the plunge... will we be forEVRA blowing bubbles... or will Arnie's return to duty be all that we hope for?
so... since it's still friday night here in sunny (well, the sun's gone down but you know what I mean) L.A. let's look at the other fixtures taking place and how they might affect things because this table is tighter than a gnat's chuff...
If Watford turn us over again... there'll be a 6 point gap between us... we need to beat them by more than 3 goals to actually overtake them... YES.... WATFORD!!!!
It was depressing enough standing in the open air all those years ago watching Watford draw 2-2 against us... (at Vicarage Road) today... a draw would actually be a half decent result for us... I know... a DRAW.... with WATFORD....
we live in interesting times...
Saturday's games...
Tottenham vs Arsenal -- meaningless game... no one gives a shit
Everton vs Crystal Palace -- a win for the Toffees would kinda put them out of our reach unless we also win. A Palace victory would put them above us unless we win... so whatevs, we have to do better tomorrow than Palace do.
Stoke vs Brighton -- another tough to call game where ideally from our point of view both teams would lose. Brighton (yes, BRIGHTON!!!!!!) are level with us on everything... so we gots to do better than they do... but if Brighton lose then that puts Stoke on the same points we have (but with way worse goal difference) - so we can't afford to lose is basically the upshot because no result here really works in our favor... I guess if you have to pick a side then let's Brighton rise above and hopefully consign more teams than us to relegation...
Swansea vs Burnley -- let's face it... Burnley are kinda out of sight (I know... BURNLEY!!!!!! oh boy... we live in interesting times) The Swans are kinda on the up 'n' up... but if they win then they get to rise to the lofty heights where we currently are... so I guess we got to for Burnley to continue to rise and rise and rise...
West Ham vs Watford -- there's only one result here .West Ham win!!!!!
Man City vs Leicester -- unless there's a major re-adjustment of the table, I don't see us catching Leicester... which basically means... who gives a shit who wins or loses this one...
Anyway... that's enough pointless pontificating... I need to get some dinner, catch some zzzz's and be up at 6:45am for the big game...
