I Just did the BBC League Predictor thingy and....

the omly way to do it is to leave out the villa scores, no bias then. Do the villa after

12th 43 points

15th on 35 points. This was being exceptionally harsh by saying we are only going to beat Bolton at home, draw with Stoke at home and draw with Norwich away on the last day.

I think and hope we are safe, looking at the teams in the bottom five, they all have to play each other and have some very hard home away fixtures against the top 6 / 7 teams. It appears from the fixtures although we have a really tough run we maybe OK due to others being worse rather than anything we do over and above between now and the end of the season.

If however we finish with 7 wins for the season and one win at home from November to May, McLeish should be frog marched out of Villa Park and paraded round the city centre as a shining example of how not to manage a premier league team.

As I've said previously, one surprising statistic in this dire season is the amount of games we've actually lost in a row stands at two. Whereas in seasons when we were going for 4th under MON, I think we lost 4 in a row a couple of times.

That's not to defend the tripe we're watching or the manager at all but does show in amongst the defeats, we can still pick up draws and the occasional win which the 5 below can't.

It is March, you know.

[SoccerHQ]

I'm more dreading April tbh.

Hopefully we'll be safe by then but back to back away at Liverpool and Manure, MON returning and away to WBA will probably finish me off for good.

[hawkeye]

agree we have to get the points in march

[TaxDodger]

I just did it and somehow West Brom ended up going down.

The trouble with this team is that they are all a bit "meh".

We haven't the consistency to put a run of anything together. Because of the talent in the squad we will pick up points frequently but because of the tactics, and can't be arsedness of some our players, we won't pick up a run of wins either.

We will be comfortably safe this year as I have been saying for some time but we need to see some green shoots in the summer.

[avfcpg]

Win our next two and we will be all but safe...even a win and  draw and a few scarmabled draws afterwards would probably do. The way the bottom 5 are performing I can see 37 points being safe...
Next season however is a whole new ball game...down unless drastic changes are made (and I don't mean the kit Randy).

[N'ZMAV]

15th with 40 points.

Man City 1st
Man Utd 2nd
Spurs 3rd
Arsenal 4th

Wolves 18th - 30 Points.
QPR 19th
Wigan 20th

can't be right, that's too few points to be relegated with.

[itbrvilla]

Going with a mate to wolves this weekend as he's got a free ticket going. Going I the away end with the 30 or so Blackburn fans. Should be interesting. Think the draw is best as it keeps more teams away from us although a wolves defeat will leave them adrift a little.

[supertommykN'iba]

I've got us staying up on Goal Difference. That's without us playing another game this season.
