Relegation Possibility

The worst of it is that we are certain to go and have about 2 shots in 90 minutes and about 25% possession on Sat. It is inevitable.

I predict 0% possession and 0 shots on goal on Sat

Wigan have Arsenal away this weekend which is good although the way Wigan are playing, anything could happen there. QPR are away at Tesco and the way the stripey filth are playing at home, it would'nt surprise me if QPR won. Swansea's form has also dipped of late so Blackburn might get something there.

It's another weekend where unless we get an unexpected result at Old Traffford, we're relying on other teams again. Whatever happens at the end of the season though, McLeish needs to be shown the door.

I have not been here on this thread before. Shit this is top job slit wrist take cynide tablet jump off the cliff stuff going on here.
Not clicking on this again ever!

Their game is against Spurs and they have to come to Villa Park.

er check the league table, the spurs game that was postponed was in the cup

Roll your eyes elsewhere. You said they have a game in hand. Presumably you meant the one against Spurs as you surely didn't mean their game in hand over us was against er, us.

I will do this really slowly, Bolton have played 1 less game than every one else except us, so they have a game in hand on every one else except us, so thier game in hand is against us not over us

Just one point to the positive spinners (and I think we will survive by a point or two albeit with less than 40) we have been crap. Turgid football. This is the worst quality Premiership season (IMHO) for many many a year. Now it could continue to decline next year though if we keep McDuff and the standard stays the same or improves not sure that  we will survive next season.

[Nastylee]

My casual prediction of the results to happen between now and the end of the season sees most of the teams below us on 35/36 points, except Wolves and QPR. Therefore if we fail to build on what we have to date then that's that!

Looking at the fixtures we cant even get in the bottom 3 for weeks even if everyone wins all their games so sleep easy for tonight at least !

[VILLA MOLE]

after 32 games we have won 7 games = 22 % of games drew 14 = 44 % lost 11 games = 34%

so approx pro rata we should get 12 points hmmm

It would be interesting to know in how many of those drawn games have we been ahead/behind.  If we had just won three and lost two in 5 of the 14 draws we would be 4 points better off and be smoking cigars whilst wearing slippers sitting on the beach in our deckchairs!!

I think the original reply confused a game in hand against us as a game in hand over us.

You are currently correct. But as the Spurs match this weekend against Bolton is called off, by the time we play them, they will also have a game in hand over us.

Off the top of my head I can tell you we were beating Newcastle, Blackburn, Liverpool, Stoke...

The lost game that really annoys me though was against the Stripeys. Dodgy ref plus negative tactics.

I think when he managed That Lot they got less than 10 points from their last 11 games. Some narrow losses and draws and the odd win. Ring a bell?

QPR, Sunderland, Everton...

And how many of those that didn't wind up in three points were down to his usual, depressing "sit back and try to defend it" routine.

Had a go at bbc predictor - 2 draws and we survive on GD. blacburn and wigan down. that's with blackburn unbeaten and wigan only losing to them.
its getting too worrying now though
