Predictions please, let's have the scores as well.
A WEST BROM - Two shit defences, 2-2.
H WIGAN - They are very poor, almost certain for the drop, if an injury ravaged Sunderand can turn them over, I think we can win 3-1.
A ARSENAL - Lose 2-1
H LIVERPOOL - A fairly tight game, but we'll win it 2-1
Seven points, not too bad.

WBA; Lose 2-1

A WEST BROM - Law of averages, they are due a win and this season all our neighbours seem to be bucking the usual trends. 1-0
H WIGAN - A win, but a good performance would help. 2-0
A ARSENAL - 3-0 win. All the goals miles offside, Wenger finally sucumbs to the madness we all know is due to hit him sooner or later.
H LIVERPOOL - GH still in convalesence, an entertaining draw. Small Heath relegated.

Surely we have to win at home to Wigan? We've not beaten them at all at home in the Premiership.
-
WBA 1 Villa 2. Just like Wolves, there bound to beat us sooner or later, won't be this season though.
Villa 1 Wigan 2. With us safe and them fighting for there lives, plus there good record at VP, I can see them nicking this late on.
Arsenal 3 Villa 3. Since that cup final they've bottled everything, while they can still mathamatically win the league they simply won't and by the time we go there it will be mathamatically impossible aswell, an open game with Bent bagging a hat-trick.
Villa 1 Liverpool 1. Liverpool could somehow still make the champions league, I hope they don't, although I hope that its a possibility by the time they visit VP but the draw hands the last spot to Manche...... Oh erm Totten..... Oh fuck them all.

Another 6 goals for Bent, Ash to score the winner on the final day
-
West Brom 3-3
Wigan 2-1
Arsenal 0-3
Liverpool 1-2
On that basis we'll end with 45 points and in mid table obscurity; not a great season by any stretch of the imagination but could have been a lot worse I suppose...

Win at West Brom, draw v Wigan, lose by three at Arsenal and a 2-2 thriller on the final day with Liverpool.
-
Can't work out why so many people think arsenal will win, by the time we play the league will have been decided and they'll be sulking over another trophy-less season...

Villa 3 - 0 Wigan
Arsenal 2 - 1 Villa
Villa 1 - 1 Liverpool
Got a feeling we will beat Albion, they think they are the dogs knackers at the moment and I can see us sorting that out. Wigan are shit, solid gold shit. Arsenal will play with freedom now the chance of winning something is gone - a good team with no bottle are always great when the pressure is taken off, and Liverpool I think will be a very tame affair unless they are on the necks of getting 5th, at which point they might give us a hiding, but have provisionally gone for a draw. Bent to score 3 more too, taking it to 10 for Villa.

I'm going for weird unpredictable results.

Villa 0 Wigan 2
Arsenal 1 Villa 3
Villa 0 Liverpool 0

WBA 2 Villa 2
Villa 2 Wigan 0
Arsenal 7 Villa 0
Villa 2 Liverpool 1
48pts hopefully just enough for the 10th place finish I predicted last summer before MON went.
-
Based on the season so far...
Lose 2-1 to Albion after being a goal up. Dunne and McAllister have a touch-line spat. Concede the winner in the 93rd minute.
Frustrating 1-1 draw against Wigan including Ashley Young's last-ever penalty for Villa, which he misses trying to emulate the Dwight Yorke dink.
A battling come-back to draw 2-2 at The Emirates. Journalists and broadcast media to focus solely on how the wheels have well and truly come off Arsenal since since handed the League Cup to Blues. Elsewhere in London this weekend, Man City create an historic precedent by collecting the FA Cup dressed in sky blue keffiyeh. "It's what I came here for," says unused substitute, James Milner.
Well deserved 2-0 win against a Liverpool sporting their new away strip - stripes based on deckchairs. A glorious sunny day with Villa playing the best football of the campaign, spoilt only by Houllier returning from his convalescence to lick King Kenny's shoes and personally negotiate Stuart Downing's transfer to his beloved Anfield.

No. We will finish 11th on goal difference due to your absolutely scandalous 7-0 prediction for the Arsenal game. Shame on you sir !

I actually think, after we beat the Dippers on the last day, a Lap of Honour would be worth it, Dunney maybe pushing GED round in a wheelchair (Lou & Andy like)
Staying up, against all the adversity of MON's sabotage, and the media hate we've had, it feels great to stay up and better than anything that short, Irish fellow achieved
-

We stayed up every season with "that short Irish fellow", its' just that he set our sights a lot higher.

Yep, he also did his best to bankrupt the club and clearly only thinks of Nr 1, a) by suing us ?? b) by clearing his desk 5 days before the start of the season
Premidated sabotage, by the short, bald irish man

No, I've allowed for Newcastle getting stuffed at Chelsea and Fulham also getting mullered by a relaxed/nothing to play for Arsenal.

Yep I can see this happening, as long as we don't lose to the baggies!
-
Tesco Wankers 1-2 Villa - Keep the new (2-1 wins) and old (beating them) tradition going
Villa 2-0 Wigan - Couple of scary moments but we will finally beat them home in the prem and they will go down
Arsenal 2-2 Villa - Two shit defences, not much to play for and a good battle from Villa
Villa 2-2 Liverpool - An abject 1st half but we look a good team in the 2nd and are unlucky not to get the winner
-
I used the BBC predictor and if every result goes against us we go down by three points. A win against Wigan will keep us up - at their expense.
I do mean EVERY game going against us. This table has Wolves 14th! And Blackpool winning at Spurs and ManUre
-
WBA 2-2 Villa
Villa 1-0 Wigan

We stayed up every season with "that short Irish fellow", its' just that he set our sights a lot higher...
..and our standards a lot lower.

WBA 2-1 Villa (think they're due a win against us)
Villa 1-0 Wigan
Arsenal 2-2 Villa (their bottle will go as they blow the title)

One down, although not admittedly totally correct with the prediction.

In fairness, I remember watching the 1988/89 season on VHS loads of times. We avoided relegation there near the end. I'll have to go and compare the seasons. I was probably more passionate about football then. It may have also been the very first season review videos too so maybe it was the novelty?

Think there'll be a lap of honour/appreciation after the Liverpool game?
-
A lap of apathy.
A lapathy if you will.
-
Aye. I can picture the lapathy now.
Players trudging leaden footed - like Stan after sixty minutes - heads bowed and watched by pale blue seats of cold plastic. Tombstones of those departed from us.
And from the remaining few, yet to depart, a silent vigil but for a faint and constant 'hiss' of hate.
The drizzle out of a grey sky with a cold wind whipping sodden corner flags into sharp slaps of wet cloth - a cutting mockery of real applause. The Holte silent as the grave except for the occasional keening wail of a fan overcome by mourning for times past.
The mournful "caw..... caw" of an expectant Crow. Black of heart in it's need to scavenge from the dead remains of a once proud band of Brothers. "Aaaaaagh" screams a demented man living in the bowels of the Holte
"It's Vic come back to Haunt us !"
And as if to accompany the slowing heartbeat of those brave souls unable to leave this funeral march of misery and shame:
The Bells. Those Fuckin' Bells.

Me too - same with the 1994-95 one. Both had far more memorable games than the non-descript rubbish seen this season.

What a great entrance for the team - the clanging chimes of doom. Utterly ridiculous.

Around the late 80's I was in danger of becoming a Blues supporter, so my Dad went out quicksmart and got me the Villa season review for season 1989/90 and the official history on VHS for my tenth birthday.
Thanks Dad :)
