Villa V Norwich Swansea V Palace Spurs V Cardiff If Spurs play like they did against Norwich Cardiff have a great chance. Hopefully not. Cant bring myself to want Palace to even get a point so its a Swansea win for me. Villa V Norwich??? draw.
Spurs to win obviously. The other 4 are sat just behind us on 28 points (Palace on 26), so I can see the argument about wanting 2 draws as victories for anyone other than Palace moves us down the table. A Palace win brings them within a point of us and tightens things up even more. Therefore I think it's time to wish for results based on widening a points gap rather than maintaining league position. Swansea and Villa are the better teams and it'll be more advantageous to us for them to end Norwich's and Palace's recent good runs. Goal difference is also a factor, as Norwich and Palace are way worse than us (The worth an extra point argument). I have no other interest apart from us not being in the bottom 3 at the end of the season. I therefore suggest that the best results for us today will be Swansea and Villa wins, even though we will be 2 places lower by the end of the day.
Win for Spurs, A draw or a win for Swansea, (keep Palace down there) and a win for Villa as Norwich have a tough run in
Sydney won't like it because it would drop us two places in the short term - but I want Villa and Swansea to win today. I think those two will stay up anyway and it's more important to keep Norwich (with their tough run-in) and Palace down there on as few points as possible.
