3rd Relegation Spot. H&V Decides: 1-day poll

[nigel]

5 yes FIVE people on here have said Villa....un-f-in-believable!

Why is it so unbelievable? Because we see the games before us going against us? How many times when we have needed them too, have games gone for us? Thankfully we are doing it for ourselves.

That's why it's unbelievable.
Because we're not relying on other results.
We seem to be the form team, along with Wigan, yet 5 still don't have confidence in the team.

I don't think we are likely to go down, but if you think it's 'unbelievable', then look at the table and you'll see that mathematically it is still possible.

It's really as simple as that, form team or not.

I agree, Paul, with the maths etc
But the lads are playing well and, surely, having a bit of form does count at this stage.
I think what aftab is getting at is that they should now have the confidence of the support.

Win agin' Chelsea and our agony is done; so let's go to it.

I think that is what we need to do to ensure we are not in the mix on the last day of the season, coupled with Swansea and Arsenal giving Wigan a good going over.  Villa should not be in this situation, that much is clear.  But Wigan have been flirting with relegation for at least five years and their luck must eventually run out.  They are a mediocre Championship side dancing on the top deck of the Titanic as the iceberg is approaching.

Given the form guide in the last 6 games, we're in the best shape. Norwich and Newcastle need to worry the most. I can see Norwich being fruitless from their last two games as well. In which case, they'll be reliant on Wigan to slip up, which given Wigan, you'd expect them to somehow scrape out of it again.

There seems to be a worry and an assumption that if its goes to the last day for us then Wigan would be favourites to win.
However, we have not lost away to anybody outside the top four for 7 months.

Huh, we lost to Noocassil on the last day of Jan - barely 3 months ago. We've been Champions League since then though.

Cannot see Norwich getting another point. On there forum they were upbeat about how they were attacking Villa and it was an improvement !!!

Blimey. I don't remember Guzan making a meaningful save.

That's cos he missed a meaningful header at the death!

That was at home, Eamonn. Andy did specifically say "lost away".

Lets face it, form goes out of the window when you are fighting for your life to stay in the league. All this ''well such and such should beat such and such'' Its all bollocks at this stage of the season.

FWIW, I think Wigan will go south.
If they dont, it will be one hell of an achievement with the run in they have got and the time frame to do it in.

If i had to pick one, i'd say Norwich although i wished they was'nt playing the Stripeyfilth on Sunday.

Sorry, missed that in my eagerness to prove him wrong. Apologies Mr Lochhead.
