So if things go well tonight we could be:
5pts up on Cardiff with a game in hand
Level with Brighton with 7 games left each
Level with Burnley with a game in hand
3pts behind Palace with a game in hand
Aguero injured. Sterling, the Silvas and Walker on the bench.
In the other game that impacts us: Murray on the bench for Brighton. Hmm.
For Chelsea, Giroud, Hazard, Kante start.
One of the worst for this is Andy Townsend. Really liked him as a Saints player, but when he does the co-commentary he has nothing good to say about us. Did something happen between Saints and him for him to not like us?
I know eh, had we just held on for the draw we’d be 8pts clear of them now and safe. Hopefully we can get more points on the board soon and they don’t fluke a win vs City.
Probably that under Ralph our form has been much better than relegation form so we can relax a bit. That and that Hughes form would have seen us relegated.
Breeds confidence for next season.
Am I having a “whoosh” moment? They beat us 4-1 twice, after that we had 2 draws. 1-1 and 2-2 where we went ahead late and the jammy bastards equalized at the death.
Jesus we’re going to have to put up with the “breathtaking arrogance” crowd who were convinced we weren’t safe in our first season back and then last season when a 10 goal swing was needed.
