Perhaps they have. After all, it's been standard Premier League procedure since about 1996.

Why do so many on here excitingly claim our crowds are lower than announced?

For the same reason that it's now becoming obvious that some people want us to lose and seem awfully disappointed if we get a point instead.
Misery hunters!

I don't think hardly anyone wants us to lose. Also you think that point against Stoke was a good result? The Liverpool one fair enough.

I think, in the same way Larry David talks of self-hating Jews, there are many out there who are self-hating Villa fans.

I have to say, Dave, I think this "some of us want us to lose and are disappointed if we get a point" is one of the dafter theories on here.

And Jackthevillain - a Jew hating self hating Villa fan.

I don't, I genuinely believe there are Villa fans on here who want us to lose. And you can sense the disappointment in the posts they make when we don't.
It's probably a combination of those who want McLeish out at any cost and will take a run of defeats if that aim is achieved and those who just want their abject misery-arsed pessimism to be proved right.

Oh, and PaulW, no I didn't think Stoke was a good result, but it was one point more than a considerable percentage of posters on here thought we'd get.

Personally speaking I want Villa to win every game. However under Mcleish I expect us to lose much more often than I expect us to win. His negative style is dragging the club down. I'll be delighted if Randy sees sense and he goes in the summer. I don't want us to lose in the meantime though.

I want us to win every game, I get disappointed if we lose and it's not like it's a cheap thing to watch.

I don't get freebie tickets from the club.

The only time i've ever remotely wanted us to lose was the tail end of 86/87. It was pretty obvious we were going down and part of me just wanted to be put of my misery. Even then though, deep down I kept hoping we'd win, bastards teased me with that West Ham game.

I think there are one or two here. They either misguidedly think relegation would be good for us and/or they are determined to show how right they are. Like that chap who is demanding explanations from everyone who doesn't think we're going to get relegated (which includes me) if we do go down.

I imagine that the pain of watching Villa this season could be dulled somewhat by a glass or two of free champagne.

A meal or two would have helped.

After today`s results I think the teams below us now need snookers to stay up!

Just want this season of misery to be over now quite frankly

It's almost a free game for us now so if I was manager i'd just send us out to close the mancs down fast and attack them as much as possible. Bet we don't though.
