Quote from: Villafirst on May 15, 2011, 10:56:06 AMThe worrying thing is, according to yesterday's B'ham Mail Gary Mac is considering an 'experimental' side for this game! He may give the fringe players a chance.... he really thinks we're completely safe and can relax! It only takes both Blues and Wigan to win and us to lose heavily at The Emirates...do you feel relaxed??Quote from: VillaSubmariner on May 15, 2011, 10:36:26 AMThis is what has to happen in order for us to go down - Wigan beat West Ham (Let's say by 3 goals).AND We lose to Arsenal (again we'll say 4 goals).ANDBirmingham beat Fulham or TottenhamANDWe lose to Liverpool (again we'll say 4 goals)ANDBlackburn or Wolves has to finish in a win for one of the teamsANDWigan have to win at Stoke (Let's say by 2 goals)ANDBlackpool have to win at Man Utd (If we lose our 2 games with -7 they would need to win by at least a 3 goal margin). If people still think that we are going to go down, with all of the above happening, then I suggest they take themselves to the bookmakers and put a pound on it all, because they will become very rich. I feel relaxed and think we are safe.

Look at the year Tevez kept West Ham up by beating Wimbledon - only to send Sheff Utd down - who everyone throught were not even in danger because a set of circumstances similar to what you have just said had to occur - and they did !!!All I am saying, until it is 100% certain, we should be busting a gut, taking this game as if our life depended on it - not playing an experimental side.Can you imagine if we played an experimental side and all this weeks scenarios you have just said happened ? - do you want to be going into next weekend looking over your shoulder ?
