The Curse of St Mary's

As bad as Bournemouth have been I can see them picking up points v both spurs and Leicester which will hopefully give us the opportunity to send them down. Spurs are so boring to watch. Leicester not playing well and lack creativity atm. West ham have a nice fixture run on paper so will be ok. Villa will beat palace but struggle to pick up anymore points. Villa down on 30 pts and then Bournemouth on 32 pts. Watford are the only hope for villa and Bournemouth as they are really poor but I think they will scrape enough pts.

He has looked awful since season restarted. Not good enough we can do better imo

Would Tom Heaton be an option for us next season if villa go down? 34 years old and only started back training after knee injury but a very decent keeper on his day. Age doesn't fit our usual profile but for a season or two could do a job for us.

The dreaded big me up interview before a game. I seem to recall Bertrand doing one on eve of the 9-0 and McCarthy doing one ahead of a calamity performance

Ralph "confident" Ings will stay

Because he's bang average with the ball at his feet.

Elynoussi has decided to stay on loan at Celtic for another season according to the same journo who broke the story on him joining us in the first place

Seems like a few players dropped for Watford for going to house party. They will look to get ball up early for deeney and doucoure darting into box. Have a feeling we might get out fought and muscled by there tactics. Glad long playing might give us an outlet and allow it Ings to do his thing.
