Fortune smiles on the Irons again
Manchester United put three past Watford without reply earlier with Wolves managing the same result against Norwich who now look entirely booked for the drop
It means that we go into tomorrow night#s match at Liverpool (oh that it was somewhere, anywhere else) with a goal difference better than any of the four teams around us – for now anyway.
Norwich are on minus 27, Watford on minus 19, Villa, minus 18 and Bournemouth on minus 17 whilst the Hammers are minus 15.
Yes, of course, it’s a rubbish position to be in but given everything we have to be grateful for the smallest of mercies and in those terms this weekend has been good news for us.
The Norwich and Watford defeats come after Aston Villa, Newcastle and Bournemouth were all beaten on Saturday while Brighton could only manage a draw at Sheffield United.
Now there’s only the small matter of runaway leaders Liverpool with whom to deal!!
