Northampton in almost the same position they were last season, needing to win their final game at Tranmere. Last year the Elliot Anderson-inspired Gas pipped them with that mad 7-0 over Scunny to overhaul them on GD. Quite crazy the same thing could happen this year if they don't win, Stockport can pip them. Win and they're in though.

Yeah I mean i'm not going to pretend that it isn't slightly more precarious than it was a couple of weeks back, especially if we lose tomorrow and that could happen, last chance saloon for Arsenal. But howay man, the form we're in, I feel very confident and Liverpool getting jammy single goal wins 4 games in a row doesn't change anything, we're a great, confident side.

This is about where i'm at and i'm a pessimist most of the time. Honestly, a draw tomorrow isn't a bad result at all if we follow it up with a win over Leeds. Those 4 points would have us almost there.

Pity they didn't play Liverpool instead of us that day, the one time everything clicked all at once for them

I hope so but Villa were pretty shite today and their season is dwindling to nowt

Each of their last 3 games all should have been draws. Instead they've snaked 3 single goal victories, We could have had a 10 point lead for fucks sake

Think @Disco takes most of the plaudits here

Thought they might even lose today if Brentford showed up. Useless wankers and Frank can fuck off as well, noncey cunt

We knew this would happen, it's why we've always had to just do it ourselves. Makes the home defeat to these horrible bastards so much more painful

Glad I didn't bother watching, same old shite

Can't bear to watch it or hear about Liverpool getting more VAR/officiating help today. Gonna take the dog for a 2 hour walk and hope to come back and hear all about those fuckers losing hilariously.

Villa lose. They're better than they were but that's not saying a lot. Lot of the ball, did fuck all with it, Wolves played it like a cup tie.

Chelsea safe from relegation, great season

Mings misses an absolute sitter

Very interesting thoughts and I agree to a point. On the charisma thing, I think Eddie protects himself (and the players by extension) by being cool and calm and calculating in every media interview. He keeps emotions well out of it and manages interviews really well. It doesn't lead to any true insights, I suspect he is very different on a personal level and off-camera, but yeah, his interviews all sound broadly the same. It won't win him any charisma awards but at the end of the day, I think it's a self-preservation thing and keeps controversy far away. Besides, in the charisma stakes, who can beat SBR saying "our tickets are selling like cream cakes"

Buendia looks revitalized under Emery

Spicy at Wolves, Villa camped in the Wolves half, plenty or argy bargy

Aye once the bluster fails, out come the pathetic excuses "couldn't have had a harder start, gave it our all, should have had a throw-in second half that might have led to a goal" etc etc

"On reflection, Pep might be nearly as good as me"

Charlie knew the craic

Certainly isn't merciless, been beaten by Brighton twice and worst ever defeat to Liverpool in their history. Great season though.

Not a single manager up there can credit the opposition, apart from our own Eddie. They're all terrible, classless losers.

Shaw looks more and more like Barney Rubble every time I see him

Froggy's on here taking his medicine and dishing a bit out. All good imo.

IMO, nobody will remember that beyond this season, a poor day with a much changed team. 7-0 at Anfield, that stays with you forever.
