I still want Bolton to stay up, QPR down please.

I'm undecided. On the one hand, Bolton dropping lessens the likelihood of ever seeing Kevin Davies in the Premier League again. But on the other, he'll just end up at his spiritual home: Stoke City.

QPR dropping would be acceptable, simply for all the Bertie Big-bollocks stuff they were coming out with before they sank like a stone. But then I have a feeling Mark Hughes would become available for the Villa job again, which would not be in the least acceptable.

But fuck it, as the team wearing claret and blue is stopping up, I really couldn't give a cack.

I'd take a bet he ends up at Sunderland!

What do Bolton charge, 25 quid?

QPR, 45 Quid?

I rest my case m'lud.

Also, I think QPR with the investment will improve and finish mid table next season, Bolton would continue to fight relegation.

QPR down, no question. They have money to throw away with their investors right now. While we're looking for Bosmans that will accept a £40k-a week wage cap, they'll be snatching up people with real names.

I'm well past caring who goes down now, sadly. At the start of the season I'd guess that we'd all have one team that we'd hope to see relegated, but right now I just don't care who goes down because I know it won't be us.

However, come August, I suspect that we'll be that one team for a lot of neutrals and that's appalling! Thanks for that Randy, Paul and Alex, thanks a bunch!

...or Heskey's replacement at VP!

But for a late equaliser from West Brom, and the lack of a late winner from Spurs, it could have been so much different. Although we are safe with a game to go, we were treading a very fine line.

If you mother had been a bloke it could have been so much different. Don't really see what your point is tbh.

But for getting more points and having a better goal difference than some other clubs...
We stopped up, enjoy the feeling, we do this every now and again, it's The Villa, it's what we do.

Too many teams in London that get too much media coverage. Despite the dreadful result liked the way Bolton fans applauded the 19th minute. Also Reebok is 35mins away from where I live and they love signing our rejects!

Expect Heskey to be announced as their next signing.

Replacement?
I was hoping to see them as our new two-pronged attacking force!  ;)

I wish to change my vote now as I believe we will stay up.
I am so pleased to be wrong.

But as for next season ..

Perhaps we should have another topic whether we'll stay up next season!

Don't like QPR. Don't like their fans. Don't like their chants. Don't like Joey Barton.

They're lucky they know Bolton have to win at Stoke and that its not what happens against City which seals their fate.

I wonder who is most relieved, Randy or John E?
