Think it is academic.  Think the shit will stay up with their own results. 

I am a saddo live for the Villa like a  lot of people, but I wouldn't cry my heart out if we lost on Saturday.  The positive side is if Blackburn do go down we have at least an easy 4 points next season.

It would be wrong  for Villa though  to sit on the beach saturday.  If I and 7000 plus fans can  be arsed to go to Blackburn then at least the team should turn up.

I will miss Blackburn, Wigan etc. as they are on our doorstep (here on Merseyside) , and are generally a good day out with big allocations for the Villa fans.
We are losing some good away days, Brighton, Wigan, potentially Blackburn and Fulham. Replaced by Sunderland, Boro and potentially Hull. Boring. Can't wait for Sunderland away on Tuesday 19th December.

Hi QV - have you revised your thoughts on the tickets for Saturday? Will we shift 1000 in 4 days? Cheers VCTM

While talking of Quinton - I was in a job interview on Merseyside recently and the Executive Director was from Brum - I asked where about  she was from?
"you have  probably never of heard of it"
"I am sure I will have" was my response,
"Quinton" she said
Me - " I used to live in Bournville and Weoley Castle"
"So what " she said !!!!

Good job I didn't ask her if she used to go to the brothel on the hill!!!!


Ha. My ex went there. Explains a lot

My wife went to that school.

Could be the same person ;)

I'd prefer us to win, particularly if we can pull off a quality performance. 

But I would like to see them go down.  I don't really enjoy the derby, they have a real nasty element to their support and a real atmosphere of menace.  A derby is also more of a lottery than a standard game against a team of their status.  And yes, I'd like to remind the ****** with the coffin that karma is alive and kicking.

I think the perpetual shiteness of Blues is proof that Karma exists. If the majority of their support didn't wish ill on their local rivals above supporting their team then maybe they wouldn't be quite so shite.

Part of me wants us to lose, but that's sinking to their level.
They are quite capable of making a complete fuck up of things without our help.
Much prefer we win, they lose both games & Blackburn win at Brentford.

It would be soooo funny if their new dawn, with their new owners, ended up in relegation, rather than the world domination they were promised.

Of course if they do manage to stay up, world domination is back on with Harry.

I want us to win as always. Besides, it would be much funnier if they fucked it up for themselves.
I don't care about Small Heath I just want to see Villa win as always.

the players wont think the same as the fans,
you saw on Sunday it was a normal run of the mill game to them until Gabby came on and ran a bit fast and kicked the ball into touch that was all that was needed to get the fans going it had been that bad up till then

the players wont go out to throw a match no matter what we think, they are players not fans,
they will go out and do what they have done every week so far this season, to be honest it might look as though we are trying to throw the game but experience tells us that that's just standard play for us

It would be typical Villa if Saturday is the game where it all clicks and we finally hammer someone and beat Blackburn 4-0.

All I'd think from that is couldn't we have actually done that when it actually mattered instead of drawing endless games 1-1 and losing meekly 1-0 as has seemed the standard for half the year.

Regardless to me the season is over now.

I'd rather not play them and finish 48 places above them next season.

With Newcastle and Brighton on their way up, if Small Heath go the opposite way, it'll be another inconvenient away trip I won't have to make next season.

Likely to be replaced by Sunderland and Boro.

And one of Swansea, Hull or Burnley, all of which are more inviting destinations than St Andrews.
