Relegation Possibility

[Villanation]

Without a doubt it looks like results are going our way, I was seriously concerned if QPR and Blackburn won today we would be right up against it, that didn't happen, so this is a golden chance to get something v Man Utd.

Two good results today. Even if as expected we lose tomorrow, we are still slightly safer than before the weekend games started.
Then we have Sunderland. Now I reckon our esteemed manager will take encouragement from their result today. I mean if Wolves can take a point off Sunderland then we stand a chance of a point too.

The Mcleish mantra is `A little point here and an odd point there keeps Villa in the Premier`.

Yeah, Agreed, it looks like the Sunderland players have already gone on holiday

I'd take a point against the Mackems.

Blackburn looked doomed...need 9 points from 12 to catch us.

They don't need to catch us to avoid relegation...just need to do better than 2 out of 3 from Bolton, Wigan and QPR.

He should be ashamed that after 32 games he is even looking at results like today's.

Yes..was just commenting on our relegation possibilities though (and the fact that they looked doomed)..

I think not even McLeish can take us down from here.

Would you bet your house on that?
We will not be safe till the points are in the bag.

[brian green]

When we look like going down it scares the shit out of me but when we look like staying up that scares the shit out of me too because McLeish's tenure will be regarded a success in the face of fans who never got off his back, an owner who never gave him any money and injuries and illness which no not affect other clubs.

Yes Fergal, I would.

What would you bet on us going down?

[chippy]

Does anyone think we have any chance of a point against United tomorrow? Not to be negative but we've always struggled against them and with all the injuries etc. I think we might get a hammering to be honest.

(I'm new to the forum by the way, sorry such a negative first post)

[TheSandman]

If you want to be negative you've come to the right place By the standards of recent posts on here that one borders on happy clapping.

Very few people on here seem to fancy us for anything other than a drubbing tomorrow.

Welcome BTW.

[Greg N'Ash]

Well a good result re QPR. Blackburn i'd already discounted catching us, so just need arsenal to do the bis with Wigan and things are looking up however much of a tanking we get at United
