I agree Jon but this league is just total mayhem.
I spent 3 hours on Friday evening really giving some serious thought into the remaining results for the eight teams at the bottom (excluding Rotherham). What a waste of time that was!
How many would have had Blackburn beating Leeds for goodness sake! Mind you, anyone in any of the other teams would have had Leicester slaughtering us!
Hey ho!
It is indeed
total mayhem (I really do think that's the perfect description after 43 games!), but because of our position in the table, that win was worth more than just the three actual points.
Before kickoff, very few of the Green Army, me included, had any real hope of getting anything. Twenty minutes in, we probably had even less hope. But the longer Leicester morphed into the worst of Wenger's Arsenal, constantly passing the ball across the face of the penalty area, we started to believe. Thankfully, Patson Daka appears to have some kind of compromising information about someone who picks their team.
At full time, many more of us believed we can stay up. Then, even after Blackburn get that win at Leeds, as good an effort as it was, it doesn't alter their distance from us in the table, thanks to our win the night before. It was huge. It also means that whatever happens at Stoke, we can only drop two places, barring an 8 goal swing for Birmingham City!
