We have been battered by 10 man Watford, who have been stuck to the bottom of the table all season.
I was trying to work out who the standout "weak" team in the league was earlier and couldn't. I now realise it's us. Relegation looking a certainty now.

Watford head coach Nigel Pearson: “They had the opportunity to put the ball out of play before the penalty. I’ve not actually seen the penalty, we have technology now, and I think it would be fair to say our players, over the course of the season, have not necessarily thought things have gone our way.”
Aston Villa boss Dean Smith: “They go down to 10 men and you think you’ve got a really good chance of getting back in it. Then there’s two goals that are comical.
“Matt Targett goes down with a hamstring injury for the second, Jack [Grealish] is on the ball, he doesn’t know, keeps playing, Watford win the ball, play on and get a penalty. I’ve seen the replay back, it’s shoulder to shoulder. Troy goes down very easily. If that goes back to VAR, it’s a mistake. If the referee’s allowed to walk over to a screen which is 30 yards away, and looks at the screen, he’ll say sorry, I’ve made a booboo.
“The third goal is a foul right in front of me. Whether they’ve got the protection of saying we can still go back if they score under VAR, it’s a foul. The lad goes through the back of Jack. There’s been free kicks all game for things like that, with [Ismaila] Sarr going down, but forget the second half, we lost the game in the first half today because my players weren’t good enough.”
