It was a funny moment listening to 5 Live in the car yesterday afternoon. I had been ambivalent about West Brom v Chelsea - it was just another Premier League game playing out until I suddenly realised/remembered that it was a game that DID MATTER to us.
I then enjoyed each Chelsea goal that followed.
This afternoon's affair clearly does matter also.
A Watford win would see us drop to 9th, but retain a 6 point cushion over the bottom three.
A West Ham win would see us remain in 8th, but our buffer would drop to 5 points as West Brom enter the relegation zone.
A draw means we drop to 9th AND our cushion shrinks by a point.
What do you want?
