Villa are the team most likely to improve next year so them to go please ..... (not that i'm resigned to us being in a perpetual relegation struggle or anything)
Decisions decisions...
Plucky little money-laundering Bournemouth.
A noddy club that doesn't have enough away tickets available. Ever. They also have a smug manager and don't like us much. Feeling is mutual, nick off back to where you belong and don't bother us with your begging buckets when your dodgy owners have pulled the plug.
Aston Villa
An army of deluded fans told us they'd be top 10 and that Tyrone Mings was world class. Gareth Southgate believed them. Turns out that for a big club, they're proper shit - we should have beaten them twice to be honest. Would be hilarious to see them relegated, Jack Grealish and all.
Watford
Can't say I've ever had an issue with Watford personally, but Nigel Pearson - dear oh dear. I didn't like Pearson but that sacking was totally unjust.
Don't get carried away, I meant on this occasion.
I'd like Villa to stay up, two of my best mates are Villa fans and I can categorically state that they are not the Billy big mouths you describe in your post. They know exactly how poor their team is and have been expecting relegation ever since McGinn was injured and they realised all their new strikers were rubbish.
Also Villa away was one of the best stadium atmospheres I have experienced for quite some time, that sort of passion should be in the premier league.
PLB and Watford.
Villa Park is a fantastic away day. Great city, great stadium.

I expect Villa to spend big this summer if they stay up so will happily see them go. Bournemouth have had a poor season but have some very useful players so they can also go. Watford will have another new manager and could all go horribly wrong, I think they are our best hope to finish below us so I'd like to see them finish 17th this season
I know this goes massively against the grain on here, but I don't really have a problem with Eddie Howe. In fact, in some ways I find quite a lot to admire in him. I like his single-mindedness. I like the fact that he stands on the touchline for 96 minutes looking like he gives a shit and I find him pretty candid in his post-match interviews. And I like to see at least some British managers in the PL. Appreciate he's not eveyone's cup of tea, but for me? He's okay.
