Relegation Possibility

[TaxDodger]

We won't get relegated. We're too good to go down. We'll get 10 points before the season is over. We'll also come above West Brom.

Small Heath took 5 points from their last 8 games last year so if we can match that it should be enough.
We were on 33 points after 30 games last year too.  It'll take less points to stay up because the top two especially will end up with far more than last year.  The top team got 80 (Man U are now on73) runners up got 71 which is what Man C are on now. Also the bottom 3 teams were at least 4 points better off than they are now.  Convinced? Nah nor me!

So villa will win 3 more games minimum. Can't see that. Villa will get 1 more win from the remaining fixtures which will be just enough.

Imagine what the mood must be like within the club with the news of Stan. It's bound to have a really negative impact and I can't see them shaking it off in time. I wouldn't be at all surprised if we lost every remaining match.

[Percy McCarthy]

I'm gonna have a bet on us going down.

I never win.

I think some on here and elsewhere need to look at themselves. Of course you cant expect every fan to make it to Stoke but any 'fan' who doesnt make it down who lives reasonably close and has the funds to do so should hang their heads in shame if they are not at the game. Were in the shit big time and our club needs what help it can get. Forget Lerner forget McLeish forget all the boring football just get down Villa Park and support the team. Sat at your PC/ Laptop watching a shit stream isnt good enough for this one. Dont watch it in a crap backstreet boozer spending #30 on beer do your bit for OUR club..

My feelings exactly. YOUR CLUB NEEDS YOU!.

[Percy McCarthy]

Agreed.

[Des Little]

Cannot argue with that one bit.  It's time for everyone to put all the shit to one side (until after 13 May anyway), and do their bit.  This means getting behind the team, all of them, and help them to drag us out of trouble.  Let's do it.

Given the garbage we've served up for most of this season in relation to the quality of our squad compared to teams below us, we certainly aren't too good to go down.

We'll be o.k though.

[SoccerHQ]

We need players back for sure.

Only two out for the season AFAIK is Darren Bent and Petrov.

We need N'zogbia, Clark (who was supposed to only be out for a month), Dunne and Delph all back for the Sunderland game which will be the crucial week as we have Bolton and then West Brom after that.

If they're all back, we'll get the points required.

[SoccerHQ]

I get Bolton safe before the last game.

15 Wigan 40 points, beat Wolves last game
16 Villa 38, draw at Norwich
17 Albion 37, lose to Arsenal but only 2-1 to stay up by one goal of goal difference
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
18 Blackburn 37, get impressive draw at nothing-to-play-for-Chelsea but it proves not enough
19 QPR 36, last day loss at title-chasing Man City but Man U still win title by winning at Mons
20 Wolves 26, down ages ago

Out of interest, how the hell do you get Wigan on 40 points???!!!

I don't blame anyone for not turning up after the rubbish that's been offered this season. People need to look at themselves? That's a hell of a generalisation, given the economic climate. Not every missing fan is watching games in pubs and many who watch on streams live too far away to attend on a regular basis. You can be certain that the team will get the vocal backing, should it be 30,000 or 40,000.

Have to agree with this.  I like the sentiment of Hoppo's post, but as much as we'd like, we can't all get to Villa Park all that often.
