Waste of time, this sort of thread. The other teams at the bottom are showing they can get results against the top sides

We are showing we can't beat any of the lower sides

how is this a waste Richard? How are the other sides around showing any more form than us? Wigan and Wolves won today. But they've been bollocks all season which is why they are where they are. How are any of the sides around us getting results against the top sides? Come on, I know things are bleak but that's just nonsense.

Threads like this trying to predict who will do what are always nonsense TV, not having a go at you personally

As for teams getting results against the top sides, look at West Ham and West Brom today

They may not have won but both were games that this sort of thread would have expected them both to lose....

I'm sorry but anyone who by analysis is trying to show that we have the slightest chance of staying up is deluded. It is that type of attitude that us got us where we are now. We're the Villa we're too big to go down' - our players are just too good.

Boll*x to all you happy clappers look at the damage you have caused!!!!!!!

Richard, I didn't post this as a prediction thread because I don't find those any use either. I posted it as a matter of fact. Just showing what everyone had left and that it wasn't going to easy for any of the teams. As for your other point, getting only 1 point versus Arsenal when you should have got all 3 will be crushing to West Brom. As much as for us losing when we should have won today.

Why should we have won today? We were diabolical.

Joe, we should have beaten Wolves today. Unfortunately we were shit, but it doesn't change the fact that this is a game we should have won.

I'm looking at 7 points max from the remainder which doubt will be enough

TV, did you see the game today? I'm not having a go at you, but there was no way we should have won, not a chance. Not bad refereeing decisions, not unlucky, just absolutely bloody awful, without a tactic or clue how to beat a team who, by common consent, are going down. God help us, then.

I'm saying that at 3pm, every one of us would have thought this is a game we should win. We played like shit which is why we didn't. I'm not saying we should have based on how the game went. Yes, I did watch it and I'll never get those 90 minutes back.

I said around October time we'll struggle this season.
I said around Christmas we'll be in a relegation battle come january.
And now i'm saying we're going down. The other teams down there have fight and spirit, we haven't got those things. As for our squad being too good, do me a favour, we rely on Ashley Young to do everything and take everything and he's shit. As for our run in, if we aren't safe before our last two games we're gone.

I don't think my heart could handle a 'Survival Sunday' against Liverpool.
