I just want it to be confirmed.

What team will relegate us then.....way it's looking it could be sometime in early March but I do think we'll get some more points in the period.

Man. United away I think 6 games before the end of the season would be fitting given our dismall over record v them in the last 20 years.

I would be at peace with Man U relegating us though I think we'll be gone long before then. I'm thinking we could be the team to relegate Newcastle again.

Because i'm mentally drained with the false hope.

When, where and how did you burden yourself with false hope this season?

If we have a 10 minute spell of pressure then I start dusting the passport off.

Relegating Newcastle in our final home game and taking them down with us would be the only glory for us this season. They won't go down though, they dominated Arsenal yesterday and have better players than us.

If they're safe by the time we play them they will rip the piss big time and we'll have to take our medicine after 2009. We won't still be crying about it 7 years later though like them.

[Smirker]

At the moment I am convincing myself that I am OK with relegation and starting to accept it but when it is actually confirmed I know it'll be awful.

7 points off 19th = three results at least needed over Sunderland. Just not happening.

Have any of you actually paid for season tickets?

Have any of you actually paid for season tickets?

Yep - I have a standing offer to any of my friends who were ST holders (there were 6 of us, just 2 now) that they can have a free seat for any match other than the final home game - nobody has taken me up on it yet ;-)

I know this might sound like pie in the sky now and does nothing to quell the understandable anger but the back end of the promotion campaign was both tense and a lot of fun at times. I especially recall with fondness sat in the upper Trinity as Kevin Gage's cross was met at full pace by Platty's nut to win the game versus Bradford. Not sure what the attendance was that day but it was a good one at VP. Promotion means relegation so its going to be tough to take when it almost now inevitably arrives, but when I look at who is at the top of the table right now in the Championship it's hardly a bunch of world beaters or world beating managers. I know this seems impossible to imagine now but Garde with his staff and with the support to get us out can do it and we can enjoy winning again as we take that ride. Or at least that's what I'm hoping. This making wankers of ourselves year after year in the PL has gotten very old and we almost need to start again.

[Salsa Party Animal]

Knowing the Villa it probably be no more win then we win 9 games on the trot at the end of season and get relegated by 1 point.

My wife and I got a half season ticket in December and we plan to keep it

[kippaxvilla2]

Derby went down after the 32nd game - so that is the benchmark or it could of course be worse.  Who is the 32nd?

Mine was £40 less thanks to my Villa cash. It hasn't really softened the blow that much.

[tony scott]

Won't use mine as much as usual ,commitments in March and April blessing in disguise

I know Garde has said he'd stay with us next season, but there was something in his eyes at Sunderland that seems to suggest he's had enough. He'll probably walk before the summer.
