Villa Move Up A Place!

Agatha Christie could not have written a better plot!

Bournemouth were losing 1-0 into added time (and should have been 2-0 down). Then Bournemouth thought they had scored in the fourth extra minute, but it was disallowed. Then Southampton scored again in the 8th extra minute to help Villa move up a place as we have scored more than Bournemouth!

So, as I see it, it's just (just!) a matter of us getting above Watford (4 or more points to their 0) - or we just getting 3 points and they conceding a lot against their 2 remaining opponents.

Bournemouth seem to be effectively down no matter what they do in their last match.


West Ham and Brighton are effectively safe.

This in the knowledge that in  the 1963/64 season Liverpool won Division 1, Leeds won Division 2 and Coventry won Division 3.  

... While Villa finished fourth from the bottom. (I was kindly reminded about this by a very alert Villa fan.)

It doesn't help my heart condition. I'm suing Villa!

UTV!
