Are we safe now?

[Brian Taylor]

Assume wolves and west ham win today than there will be four teams on played 35 with 35 points. Other than the two mentioned Wigan and Blackpool. For us to go down now  these teams will have to get 7 ponits each from 3 games and us to lose all 3. This is very very unlikey.

This is The Villa you are talking about..all things are possible.
6th just wasn't good enough but fucking round with relegation as an alternative is...
Wondering if we can beat wigan to stay up..the humiliation of it all. Last week we were talking about being amongst the top end...gord how pathetic is that?

It's not pathetic, it's was just a bit "knee jerk" (winky thing)

[Brian Taylor]

Well there you are..a few steps nearer safety due to the opposition losing or drawing. WH can't catch us. Wolves need a miracle and we have to beat Wigan. simple but this is The Villa we're talking about..
Looks pretty safe now if we even draw against Wigan..for respect we need to beat them well.
sad that Wolves are in such a predicament.. the derbies were always the best in terms of emotional, and good natured, fan rivalry. Then that doesn't exist these days..not much anyway.
Depending on other teams failing is not how it should be!!!

"It's not pathetic, it's was just a bit "knee jerk" (winky thing)"
OK a bit harsh but now it is just a a release of breath in relief at nearly escaping thanks to the predicamant of others and nowt much to strive for other than not being 4th last.  (winky thing)!

You can get 150-1 on us going down, so i sugets those without a calculstor put some money on

[WikiVilla]

Dont West Ham have 3 easier games now ?

[Villa'Zawg]

I think we'll be OK but we're not safe yet.

If you want to sweat it out a bit just imagine WH and Blackpool are going to lose all of their games and will fill two of the spots. Now imagine that Wigan, Wolves and Blackburn all win their winnable games next week.

It's been one of those seasons where we are destined to sweat all the way

It's called supporting Aston Villa

[Bald Eagle]

Some of the bottom teams have to play each other, so they will take points off each other.

[olaftab]

Relegated teams will have 38 or less points.

[WikiVilla]

i did the predictor thing,  its possible we go down but unlikely, even so we need at least a point vs Wigan

[PaulWinch again]

We are not going down, no chance. 7 points clear of the drop zone with 3 games to play with a few teams between us and bottom three. No chance.

We should be fine now

[Brian Taylor]

This is not relevant.. we are still dependant on points lost by shite teams and we should not be associated with them; simple. Depending on others to lose is not the way it should be!
Still we will see the posts about survival..Villa are not a survival club..we ought to be challenging for Europe..minimum!

We're not depending on other clubs though.

I think Brian was responding to the suggestion that we are fine now (even if we don't win any of our 3 remaining games). In that circumstance we are relying on other clubs results going our way.
