In fairness it should've been a free kick rather than a pen, but still a second yellow.

[brenchill]

Keeper should have saved both of Gabby's shots. What was he playing at?

[Jimmy]

I think the first one was a pretty sweet strike. The amount of curve on it makes it a really tough shot to save, I don't think he deserves stick for that. The second one maybe a little more, but when it's going in the corner, there's sometimes not a lot you can do.

Also, Lukaku's through ball in the build up to the first Baggies goal was superb.

[brenchill]

Can anyone else see Villa and Wigan staying up?

[Jimmy]

Dunno, the last game of the season could be the one which really fucks the other up. But hopefully they do and it either Sunderland or Norwich's expense. Or in some miracle world, Stoke go down.

[brenchill]

I don't think we'll beat Chelsea or Wigan in our remaining games so I'm hoping 40 will be enough. Kinda hoping Sunderland and Norwich will continue to be shit.

[Hobo]

I'll only be happy with Wigan going down if they win the FA Cup.

I'd prefer anyone from Sunderland, Newcastle or Villa to go down. Sunderland are almost over due a relegation at this point. Villa would be novel. Newcastle would just seem a bit like they really over reached themselves last year.

[Nerf]

I'd be kinda worried if I was a Fulham fan. They've got us next, I can't see them taking any points after the way they've been playing recently. Who've they got on the last day?

Also, really nervous about today. If we beat Everton, there's a good shot of us finishing 6th if Chelsea do us a favour in the last game.

[Jimmy]

They've got Swansea last. I think Fulham will be safe.

[Hobo]

I'm hoping for a rare Carragher goal in his last derby.

Just catching up on MOTD, Joe Bennetts not a smart lad is he? Blatantly should have gone by the penalty at the very latest.

But he never touched him. No pen. :/

[/summ]

Wasn't a pen. Contact outside the box then the winger leaned on him and went down in the box.

[Ant]

If Wigan draw on Tuesday then i can see them going down. I can't see them picking up the points at the Emirates especially as a Champs League place is Arsenals to lose.

Dunno about the other Villa contingent but i'm still kind of nervy.

Forget the relegation dogfight..theres still a love triangle to sort out first. Vlaar don't look too happy with the warm embrace Guzan and Weimann are sharing:

[Nerf]

I'd say he looks really happy, actually.

[stokeriño]

Depends if he's about to launch into a tragic soliloquy or not.

Decided to give the incident a watch, and you're right. I don't even think it was a FK, either way.

[brenchill]

He should've been booked for diving, IMO.

[Ant]

It still amazes me Holt was on the pitch to take the penalty.

[Nerf]

What did he even do? I don't think they covered it on MOTD.
