Relegation Possibility

[Chipsticks]

Only problem is that we still have the dreaded month of March to get through...

[ozzjim]

Us, Blackburn, Wigan and Wovles in 4 games time could either be right up close and personal, or we could be safe. HE can't get a second season surely.

[Rip Van We Go Again]

Are we going to get relegated? No. Is it a possibility? No, because there are at least five teams more shit than us.

My chest swells with pride at this.

'At least five teams more shit than us.'

Yeah it's great, to be in this position two years in a row is an utter disgrace. We are a shambles and I'm afraid after his interview today and the tactics on display Mcleish has to go, because he will not learn from his mistakes.

I don't want us to get relegated, but I'm at the stage where I'm not even enjoying our football and I'm actually ashamed to be a Villa fan, so I'm not going to feel any different if we drop down at this stage.

Oh turn it fucking in.

[Legion]

Ashamed to be a Villa fan? Never.

There are far worse teams than us currently lower than we are. We'll be fine. Top half just like last season.

that's a bit far fetched imo, but not as Faulkners aim for top-8.. hilarious.

There are five worse teams than us. They are the ones currently below us.

No chance of relegation. 5 teams on 21 points or less from 25 played. Teams will stay up on 34 points this season, which means we need just two wins. These will be easily achieved in the next four games.

I wouldn't worry too much about Faulkner, he couldn't organise a two car funeral.
He has all the footballing acumen of an empty crisp packet.

The fact that, for the scond year running, we are looking nervously over our shoulders and comforting ourselves with the statement, 'there are 5 worse teams than us' makes me want to fucking weep !

Your ashamed when we lose some games of football ?
I have never for a moment been ashamed to be a Villa fan. In 45 years I have done embarrassed, angry, end of my tether, pissed off, despairing, crying, sad, mad, but I have never ever done ashamed.
What's it like ?   

[Merv]

I think we'll be alright, but I can see us finishing 15th-16th.

Next few weeks crucial, and players are unavailable just when we need them: Keane goes soon, Clark out for a few weeks (big blow, was playing well), and probably Dunne also, following that injury.

We should be calling Delph back now, and hoping Herd is fit again very soon.

[Des Little]

How the fcuking hell have we ended up being relegation candidates so soon after being Champions League contenders?  Our decline in the past 3 years is remarkable.

Can I just point out, after 25 games last season, Blues had 30 points. We have 28. With a better squad. Shit is not the word for the job he is doing. If they can drop from 30 at this point last season, we can from 28.

Last year was mental at the bottom though and not convinced it is goin to be the same this year - Blues were relegated with 39 points which is extremely unusual.

After 25 games last season we had 28 points so we're in the same position, albeit the bottom three had more points last year.

We'll need about 35 this year to be safe I reckon.  Even AM should be able to get 7 points from 13 games!?  We'd need to do a Newcastle if we were to go down - they had 28 points after 26 games in 08/09 and finished with 34 - 6 points from 12 games!
