Is anyone else quietly optimistic / excited for tomorrow?
The reason I'm personally excited, is that in my opinion tomorrow is more than a 6 pointer, it's a premier league survival match. I genuinely think between the two sides tomorrow, the loser will have to get too many points to survive.
If we win, we're 2 points behind Brighton with Fulham away and Palace at home to play (both games I would honestly expect to go either way). Brighton's only game that could go "either way" is Newcastle, and the form Brighton have been in I would be suprised if they get another single point, nevermind 3.
If Brighton win we're 8 points behind and, well, for arguments sake we're relegated. We can't come back from that. If we're not good enough to beat Brighton in the form they're currently in with their (in my opinion) star winger banned tomorrow, we definitely won't have enough about us to beat either Liverpool or Man U, which we'd have to if we lose tomorrow.
Does anyone else find it strange that people think we're already down? Can't possible say that unless we lose tomorrow. HUGE game.
As I said, winner stays up, that's not my heart saying that, that's my head. Just look at the fixtures coming up for both of us.
Super excited and nervous for tomorrow now! Not confident, but at least we'll know our fate tomorrow (within reason)
