of course... everyone's a genius armchair critic, or monday morning quarterback - depending on your point of view or chosen sport...
and that makes me no different...
There's three games left to go, three games to decide the fate(s) of two teams - since Norwich are already down and out...
I'm not convinced by our fortitude or mental stamina... or skill... or fighting spirit, etc, etc...
So here's my guesstimate of how the final three games will play out:
Here’s where we start:
Brighton -16 36
West Ham -15 34
Watford -21 34
Bournemouth -24 31
Aston Villa -27 30
Norwich -41 21
Chelsea vs Norwich Norwich 1pt
Man City vs Bournemouth B’mouth 0pts
Everton vs Aston Villa Vila 3pts
Southampton vs Brighton Brighton 3pts
West Ham vs Watford Both 1pt
Norwich vs Burnley Norwich 0pts
Bournemouth vs Southampton B’mouth 3pts
Brighton vs Newcastle Brighton 1pt
Watford vs Man City Watford 1pts
Aston Villa vs Arsenal Villa 1pt
Man Utd vs West Ham West Ham 0pts
Arsenal vs Watford Watford 1pt
Burnley vs Brighton Brighton 1pt
Everton vs Bournemouth Bournemouth 3pts
Man City vs Norwich Norwich 0pts
West Ham vs Aston Villa Both 1pt
Here’s where we Finish:
Brighton -16 41
Watford -21 37
Bournemouth -24 37
West Ham -15 36 RELEGATED
Aston Villa -27 35
Norwich -41 22
Yup, I tried to be as 'realistic / pessimistic' as possible... given how Bournemouth turned the tables on Leicester t'other day...
Essentially, we need to beat either Norwich or Villa (either of which is an 'on paper' possibility... or get a draw at Utd and we'll be safe...
ugh... the bums are totally like going to be squeaky...
By Friday we'll have a much better idea of where things stand...
