I think we will stay up because ....

[Can Gana Be Bettered!?!?]

To add to my earlier effort, I would also add that we're in the worse run I've ever known, yet we're still in touch with plenty of teams around us.

[Legion]

Our poor run does not look likely to end, whilst all those around us are picking up unexpected points.

[Can Gana Be Bettered!?!?]

That's not keeping to the title of the thread surely.

Unexpected points, but still right by us and we're still in touch with them. It's nowhere near over yet.

[Fernando Partridge]

Its mathematically possible at this moment! Also there are several teams down at the bottom and other teams could lose alot of matches. !   

[Eigentor]

... because there are other shite teams too.

Frankly I think this is the best reason. We've been pretty dire for most of the season, but we have mostly (though not now) been outside the relegation zone. A repeat of last season's 38 points and we'll probably be pretty comfortable.

.....it's a funny old game Saint. Och ya crack me up Greavsie.

[Billy Walker]

We'll stay up if we stick together, stay positive and get fortress Villa Park up and running.  It's time for us to draw a line in the sand and get the club rocking.  It can be done.

Also, everyone stick some money on Villa to go down, lose every up coming match etc. to mess up Sod's Law/Murphy's Law/karma etc.  We are not going down!!

You say his every week - the fans continue to provide great support and we continue to play shit and lose!

Stamina required  Eastie!  We've got to keep battling.  You're right about the fans, the support is top notch.

..... Lerner will wake up from his deep sleep tomorrow, look at the league table and our terrible results in the last five weeks and take the urgent, remedial action a billionaire owner and custodian is obliged to do while he still has the opportunity.

[Matt C]

There's still 14 games to go to s.o.s.

[Ian.]

We have signed Yacouba Sylla.

[sonlyme]

We will stay up because we have a good proven manager - some excellent players - and a lot of kids.    We will also stay up because there are at least 3 teams who are weaker than us.

Our kids are on a steep learning curve and will make mistakes - but as long as they learn from them they will get stronger.  If we can take the second 45 from last night - and repeat it for the remainder of the season we will survive - and if we do - we will get better and better.

The gunfire is close - time to stand firm and show the team and the world what support can achieve.

It's either that or calling everyone to do with the club cnuts and saying I told you so.

I prefer the first option.

Sylla is our saviour!

[newtonsballs]

Because Sylla's mother said

[Leighton]

Because I'm drunk and also hooked on crystal meths. Pass me those Bath Salts, I'm ready to chew Lamberts face off.

[ADVILLAFAN]

I think we'll stay up because we're going to stop doing that wank team huddle before each game
