Nice, Villa control their own destiny

Villa....Everton- Arsenal -West Ham
 
Watford... West Ham- city- Arsenal
 
West Ham...Watford- manu- Villa
 
If I'm Villa I want want a W/L in watford/west ham game...presumably west ham as watford would possibly finish with 3 L's in a row.
 
That will still require Villa to get 5pts in 3 games though.
 
Or just 4pts if GD gets skewed heavily in last 3 games...Watford v city ???
Well you got those 4pts....make it 7 and it's over

Villa-West ham
Bournemouth-Everton
Watford-Arsenal

Well gotta say I'm pretty specchless. I did not see today going like that. I mean you still have to step up against West Ham, but damn.

With GD, not completely.

my math could be wrong, so i welcome any corrections...

For Bournemouth to stay up

  • Bournemouth wins (by any score), Villa loses (by any score)Watford loses (by any score) 

(GD doesnt enter into it if the above results occur. Yes all would be tied on 34 points, but Bournemouth would have the best GD by the vary nature of the results)

For Villa to stay up

  • Villa wins, Watford wins - but by less than Villa
  • Villa wins, Watford draws or loses
  • Villa draws, Watford draws or loses
  • Villa loses, Watford loses, Bournemouth draws or loses (Villa has the best results in their loss and stays up on GD)

For Watford to stay up

  • Watford wins, Villa wins - but by less than Watford
  • Watford wins, Villa draws or loses
  • Watford draws, Villa loses
  • Watford loses, Villa loses, Bournemouth draws or loses (Watford has the best results in their loss and stays up on GD)

Pretty much. There are simpler ways to explain it, but that will do.

HOWEVER ...

Don't forget West Ham CAN still be relegated. Because GD is now big time in play for United and Leicester, there is a big incentive for United to RUTS today. While unlikely, a swift 10-0 ass kicking could make things even MORE exciting in relegation.

Assuming that doesn't happen and you want some real excitement root for:

Villa 1, West Ham 0
Watford 7, Arsenal 5

Then you get a 1 game playoff for relegation.

There is also a possible 1 game playoff for top 4.

Better keeping than DDG, TBF.

Nice 1-2-3 between Martial and Greenwood to tie it up.

Am I reading things right that a 1 goal win is no better than a draw for Man United?  Either way, on Sunday, they stay ahead of Leicester with a win or draw and go behind with a loss?  If they're able to win by 2+ today then they could afford to lose on Sunday.  With a win today by x (x>1), they could lose by x-1, right?

EDIT - No that isn't right, they'd actually need to win by 3 today to be able to lose by 1 on Sunday.

maths, how do they work?

1-1 draw.  Now Chelsea just needs one point against Liverpool today or Wolves on Sunday to guarantee CL.

Great job by West Ham. Now it's down to Villa, Watford and Bournemouth.

Ah. The perfect scenario. Liverpool win = I'm happy. Liverpool loss/tie= fuck ManU = I'm happy.

I can live with this. I am on record stating I think Liverpool 2019-2020 is a magnificent team. 

That said, GO BLUES! 

Liverpool is doing their part to build up the drama for the last day

Well shit if Pulisic was going to carve up Liverpool like that - he should have started this game.

Frank should think about starting this Pulisic kid

West Brom promoted back to EPL after locking up 2nd place in the Championship.  Was pulling for Brentford, west london rivals and all, but they couldn't manage to beat Barnsley.

Uh can't Chelsea literally lose this and their last game and still qualify for UCL?

They can.  United would have to beat Leicester next week though.  A draw or a Leicester win and Chelsea would be 5th.

Swansea? Furrk... i was rooing Nottingham Forest to get promoted. Just looked.. Forest had an epic collapse..

DLDDLL in their last six matches.....then today, last match of the season...Forest lost 4-1, while Swanea won 4-1

Final Table Results

6 Swansea 70 points +9 GD

7 Forest 70 points +8 GD

cruel

When you look at the scores of the games, you realize that the major collapse happened in the last 30 minutes.

at 61' both games were tied 1-1.

Swansea would score 66', 84' 90+1'

Stoke would score 73', 78' and 90+6' (OG)

Any expectations?

So what races do we have left?

1 and 2 - done and done. Liverpool is the champion. Man City has #2 wrapped up.

3-5 - 3 and 4 get the last 2 UCL spots and someone's getting left out. United 63/+28 (@ Leicester), Chelsea 63/+13 (vs Wolves), Leicester 62/+28 (vs United).

6-7 - Wolves 59/+13 (@ Chelsea), Spurs 58/+14 (@Palace) - 6th gets Europa, 7th waits for the results of the FA Cup.

8-10 - Teams that can't get higher than 8th, behind Wolves and Spurs: Arsenal 53/+7 (vs Watford), Sheffield 54/+2 (@So'ton), Burnley 54/-6 (vs Brighton),

11-12 - Everton 49/-10 (vs Bournemouth), So'ton 49/-11 (vs Sheffield)

13-14 - Newcastle 44/-18 (vs Liverpool), Palace 42/-19 (vs Spurs)

15-16 - West Ham 38/-13 (vs Villa), Brighton 38/-16 (@ Burnley)

And the aforementioned relegation battle

17-19 - 17th place stays up, 18 and 19 off to the Championship. Villa 34/-26 (@ West Ham), Watford 34/-27 (@ Arsenal), Bournemouth 31/-27 (@ Everton)

20th - already relegated Norwich.

No clue. Its pretty uncharted territory.

Pep Guardiola on Player of the Year award:

“The winner will be from Liverpool. When we won the Premier League the Liverpool players won. When they win the League, I'm pretty sure they are going to win the Player of the Season. These awards are always for Liverpool.”
