Bournemouth are effectively down already. Difficult run in - still got City, Spurs, United and Leicester to play with their fixtures against us and Newcastle being the only ones they will have much hope in. Terrible form. Strikers all gone impotent. I fear that West Ham are going to survive. Pity cos I would pay to see them relegated. Watford will be fine. Nigel Pearson's done a great job. Norwich 20, Bournemouth 19, Villa 18. Same here. Anyone want to put into a kitty? Feel sorry for Bournmouth - not a big enough club to survive a run bad luck and injuries. David Brooks looked a great player before his injury. Will he get back fully from that? what has the cat done?

In 9 games since the restart, the teams from the bottom four have amassed a total of 2 points registering no wins, both points collected by Villa. Considering what is at stake here and usual relegation battles that is really odd. I think it just goes to show that the quality of the teams is having more of an effect without fans.

Just pooling cash like behind the bar when you had to turn up to cousin Brian's Stag at the Beefeater (he was just 46, how time flies) but the Dudley lot were only putting in £17.50 instead of £20 because they weren't having starters but were drinking more than anyone. Anyway about £40 should do it for the Dildo Brothers to pull the plug. Best offer they will get for a while.

Villa lost, don’t think any one at the bottom want to stay up

Wolves have won all three restart games now. Look like a regular in the top six now.

That's 3 points 0 wins from 13 games of the bottom five since the return. That is unreal. Suddenly looking like about 33 points for safety.

With no crowd influence, the stronger teams are winning, Brighton losing brings them back in it, normally 36 points is enough to stay up, it’s going to be lower this season.

Newcastle at home was Bourenmouth's easiest remaining fixture.. and they got trounced. Totally gone.
I hope Howe is given the season in the Championship to bring them back.
West Ham have too much quality (!) compared to those around them to go down. I know there's a lot of rubbish there and no coherency in their recruitment overall, but Antonio is consistently direct and dangerous even on their off days. Fornals influence fluctuates but he strikes me as clearly a top 10 club midfielder in the right hands.

So that’s Norwich and B’mouth nailed on to go, what do we think Villa or Watford, I’ve still got a sneaky feeling Villa will just about fluke it.

But on paper - which football is not played on - Watford have the better run - Next two for Villa is Liverpool (A) and Man utd (H) so 0 points. Watford have Norwich (H) coming up and the psychological pressure really on Villa and 4pts behind with four games left. Depends how bad Watford really are. We will find out. I have always had a soft spot for Villa - When I was small most of the kids at school supported them - they were the local 'Big' club even though they spent time in divs 2 and 3. I really like Jack Grealish too (reminds me of Paul Gascoigne). Apparently Man Utd are circling.

so will it transpire that if Saints beat Bumfluff then that will be the nominal point of their relegation? Could add extra spice to the "local not derby"
