I've toiled with this - my initial and lasting reaction would be 1 game in our history to lose - not a great deal - 1 game to send the unwashed into permanent misery and grow the chip forever - priceless. However, what price the saving of the unwashed by beating Blackburn and being able to be their saviours? I think that has even more turmoil in their little heads. the Vile saved us.

The though of answering every anti Villa comment and song from them next season by saying "well that is gratitude for you!" does seem quite funny.

Fantastic scenario, I like it. Our creative songwriters would have a field day.

Rags game aside, we still have a manager playing for his future unless beating the Unflushables is the height of our ambition?

Let's finish the season, as ugly as it's been, in some style.

I fear that if the last two games produce a bit of pig lipstick for a truly horrible season, it would make the forensic rigour we need to apply to the matter of sorting out long standing, deep rooted problems a bit harder.  Suppose Gabby got a couple goals in the last two games.  He would get a further contract extension.  I don't want us to play badly, I want those in charge to see the team for what they are, a mid table Championship side in need of massive, sustained improvement.  I have seen nothing in the last four games including last Sunday's hugely enjoyable panto, to suggest that improvement is at hand.

Saturday might involve the most passionate support a Blackburn side has ever witnessed with 7000 away fans cheering them on..
it would be quite funny to watch the away fans cheering on the home team, but I hope we don't. All the shit we sling at Blues for being small time and obsessed with Villa wouldn't wash anymore. Fans and players need to at least go through the motions and not give them any ammo to take the high ground. If we lose and they go down great, but at least if we win and that result becomes necessary for them to survive, we can lord it that they depended on our charity to stay up. I'd be gutted if we looked like we wanted to lose, lost and then they stayed up regardless.

Agree Mark. I just want a Villa win, for Kodjia to score his 20th goal and if Blues go down it will be because of their own incompetence.

Will be keeping an eye on Wigan results as well - theoretically they can still go above Bloose on goal difference

Of course that is the ideal scenario and if we were given the benefit of hindsight then it's what we'd all prefer. But, as we do not, just to make us more comfortable a 3-2 defeat with an outrageous penalty decision going Blackburn's way with the last kick of the ball isn't the worst way to lose.

Couldn't agree more Brian.
We undoubtedly have a better squad of players than we did in December but I see very little in the way of improvement as a team and cause for optimism regarding automatic promotion.
There is much work to be done between now and August.

Ten of us from the Bournemouth Lions Club travelling up by mini bus. A 7.15 start from Bournemouth! A big thank you to Ian who organises the tickets for each game.

I don't really care if Blues go down and frankly why would we want that? we regularly beat them.

Now that would be really funny

Everyone watching our games and Wigan getting all 6 remaining points and them missing out on GD
