Have you stopped checking?

Have you stopped checking the table - specifically, the bottom of it - yet?
I have. I gave up about three weeks ago. It just seems futile, we're so doomed, and have been for a long time.
What about you?

In January - same time as the board gave up.

Oh it's over. I can't be arsed anymore and I am oddly looking forward to the day it is all confirmed. I can then watch football again without any real care. This is our fate, let's accept it, learn from it hopefully and come back stronger. We appear to making better decisions at board level. I am praying that translates towards our longer term strategy. But as for the table, don't care because we aren't even trying to get out of trouble.

We're gone. But I still look at the table now and again to see who is where.

I couldn't stand to look at the table from very early on in the season. January's defeats and defeatist attitude ensured I didn't go out of my way to check again. I know we'd been close a few times but never thought I'd see Villa in this position - certain to be relegated.

I gave up when the club officially gave up at the end of January. More interested in what happens at the top now.

I've developed a technique whereby I only see positions 19 and upwards to make sure Newcastle are still doing badly. I can't see who's in 20th, but I bet they're shit.

League tables don't mean a thing until everyone's played each other twice, so I'll have a look at the end of the season.
Don't spoil it for me.

I'm more interested in hoping Newcastle go down with us.

Yes, probably a month ago. What a sorry state, I don't care who goes down and I don't care who wins the league or not. Not interested in who's coming up and until we know who is in charge next season the transfer thread seems pointless, not that I have a clue who anyone is in the lower leagues.

I'm hoping we go down on a Saturday. That way, I can sleep in on the Sunday so I don't get woken up by it on a sports roundup, and it won't be on BBC Breakfast on the Monday. A brief word with a Villa supporting colleague about it and that'll be that.

Stopped after Liverpool, the gaps only going to get bigger and I can't bare seeing the terrible numbers next to our name it just gets me angry.

I've voted "I've stopped" but that's not quite true. I still check, but only to see who's going with us and hoping to see Newcastle stuck in 19th. I checked on Sunday night for the first time in a few weeks and was surprised to see that it's essentially a 3 way fight between Newcastle, Sunderland and Norwich.
I can't decide if I want Norwich, just for being arsey about Hoolahan after Lambert or Sunderland on the basis that they've been as rank as we have for the last 5 years and deserve to go with us, destroying the Allardyce doesn't get relegated myth at the same time.
It goes without saying that relegating Newcastle on the penultimate weekend is about the only thing this season that might raise a smile. And even that will be more because of the pent up fury it would engender in them that they couldn't take the piss.

A long time ago. I was surprised to learn we are only 9 points adrift. Thought it would be about 20.
