Match Day: West Ham vs. Aston Villa
This is it.

This is it.
Aston Villa host Arsenal this evening with two games left and four to six points needed to secure survival. It was never going to be easy. That’s not the Villa way. But the failings of our fellow relegation contenders have kept hope alive, and hope isn’t easy to relinquish. For the most part.
Another day, another cup final, or semifinal, or something. Regardless, another couple hours of hell. The life of a Villan.
Well, here it is, Villans. A must-win if ever there was one. Am I confident? No.
It’s all getting more than a bit nerve-wracking. Villa, while not cut adrift, find themselves needing the three points that West Ham and Watford have finally managed to secure since resuming play. Tonight, it’ll be a tall order getting them against United.
