Relegation Possibility

[Greg N'Ash]

Reckon we're safe but 3 points will do it for sure IMO. Two games ago i wasn't confident of getting any points but we've shown a bit more spirit than i expected post Petrov. bolton and sunderlnd are the biggies. If we're within 3 points of one of the bottom three after those games then we're in deep doo-doo

My feeling is that we'll lose against Man Ure, Sunderland and Spurs; draw against West Brom and Norwich and either win or draw against Bolton. This should give us 38 or 40 points; either should be enough to stay up. If we lose against Bolton, I'll start to worry.

Apologies to one and all. I am an impulsive sort who wears his heart on his sleave. I've never seen villa get relegated and tonight it just dawned on me how likely it is.

Dave, I do actually have a sense of perspective. I'd willingly send villa to the Conference rather than have lost some of the people that I have in the past decade, or go through some of the dark days that I have come through the other end of.

I still think I'm allowed be a bit upset to be confronted with a Premier League without Aston Villa though.

It's not very likely at all and please try to get a sense of perspective. It's only football.

Then we can all have a blokey cry-fest with Irish Villian.

is it me?, or is it a sign that the 2 words at the top of the page, near the page nos., are "GO DOWN" and stand out more now than before Xmas?

fateful insight by the site design team..?

Or of look down you see 'GO UP'. Depends on your state of mind.

So does that mean we shouldn't cheer if we won a cup or a score a goal, because after all, it is only football and we should be saving our cheers and happiness for meaningful events.

Villa Fan 2011/12 season = very negative outlook on life and actually believe Windows OS is flawless compared to the current side residing @ B6!!

We should stop treating it like a national disaster. That goes for all football, not just us.

Just being realistic i think.  if one of the bottom three can overtake us with a win after the bolton game, then i'm not confident we'll get anything from the remaining games. I don't think that will pan out though.

You're right, and I'm starting to think about why I stick with it when it brings me nothing but disappointment.

[Irish villain]

'Man up' gotcha Dave!

[ozzjim]

I think we will get a point at Norwich, but if that will be enough is up in the air. Spurs last but one game, on their current form, could provide our easiest win. I will be cheering them on all the way at the way on Saturday for sure. They won't be steaming into tackles with the cup final a game away.

But they hasn't said it was a national disaster, they said they shed some tears at the thought of Villa being relegated. Probably won't be alone in this aspect in all of football. If people didn't have feelings for their football club then it wouldn't exist. Why does DCF and PK spend thousands of pounds and hours following Villa around the country and the world if they don't have feelings for it? I'm not saying he will be bawling if we went down, but I would be surprised if there was not some emotions at all.

[Pete3206]

I shed a few tears tonight when I saw those results. I only found out what happened on MOTD. I am shell shocked.

I burst out laughing at that.
