Christ that really is ****ing stupid.

Let’s hope another result goes our way. I don’t like Southampton - but if I can want Palace to win last week then I can want Saints to win today! It all feels a bit dirty, but as long as results go our way ...

Good stuff from Ings.

And so it continues... madness!

It is. It is also funny. Statistically we should not have more points than the teams below us combined. Obviously its lovely we do. Is it bottle, poor preparation, being shite or what?

All of the above!
Each team seems to be playing in fear with a complete lack of confidence.
GP has Brighton believing they are Barcelona.

In fairness, Southampton seemed to have prepared excellently. They are so much than before Lockdown.

I'm rather enjoying this from the bbc minute by minute

Watford 1-3 Southampton

Watford might have scored - thanks to an own goal - but they end the match without managing a single attempt on target.

When you are fighting to stay up, that's not good enough.

It’s gets better and better.

A loss to mega spending Manu won’t detract from an incredible fortnight, in relative terms, for us.

Only problem with this run continuing, GP might be in line for MOTM

Not against Arsenal they weren’t.

 

[Invicta]

Lets just beat Utd to keep this going!

 

[Giraffe]

One of them has to get some results at some point...surely!?

It is quite astonishing really, but when you look at the next couple of fixtures Bournemouth at home to Newcastle and Norwich at home to us are the only ones that look possible to yield a win for teams below us. Lots of tough games for all the bottom six.

 

[Sorrel]

It has been nice, much better than I even hoped (never thought so many other teams would keep loosing). Getting a point against Man U would be even better.

 

[Weststander]

So we only need two points then?

According to Iwelumo post match today when discussing Watford, he said 7 points in their winnable three matches will see them safe. Putting them on 35.

Will the cut-off really be as low as 34 against 35 points?

I imagine Klopp already has that sewn up!!

So much of football is about confidence, either having it , or not having it.
Further up the league, Leicester look to have a complete lack of confidence, and Wolves seem to have it in abundance at the moment.
At the bottom, every time one of our rivals don’t win, or even draw in most cases, a little bit more confidence drains out of them, and our players, already buoyed by our two results so far, gain a little bit. Having a manager with a degree in leadership and emotional intelligence must be a massive advantage in our present situation.
The better our rivals below us play, as long as they don’t get a win, the better it will be for us, as they will start to subconsciously believe they will never win again.

We are halfway up the form table and all the relegation teams are in the bottom five positions. Perfect.
