Aston Villa	v	Man City		Lose		24
Reading	v	Aston Villa		Win		27
Aston Villa	v	QPR		Draw		28
Aston Villa	v	Liverpool		Lose		28
Stoke	v	Aston Villa		Draw		29
Aston Villa	v	Fulham		Win		32
Man Utd	v	Aston Villa		Lose		32
Aston Villa	v	Sunderland		Win		35
Norwich	v	Aston Villa		Draw		36
Aston Villa	v	Chelsea		Lose		36
Wigan	v	Aston Villa		Lose		36

That seems a very reasonable set of predictions and provides a points total that might keep us up or might send us down

At the moment I would say there is more than 50 per cent chance that we will finish 17th or 18th. Sadly, I think the most likely scenario is 18th, as you would have to be quite optimistic to believe that we will have a better run-in than Wigan. There's of an outside chance that Southampton will get involved, but so far they've looked to good to be relegated. I wouldn't be surprised if they beat Newcastle, and in that case Newcastle would be our best hope of an outsider.

what do our fellow strugglers' remaining fixtures look like? hopefully not as kind as ours

[russon]

Wish I hadn't looked up Wigan's remaining games. They should finish mid-table with this friendly trot to the summer beach -

Home
Liverpool
Newcastle
Norwich
Swansea
Spurs
Villa

Away
QPR
West Ham
West Brom
Arsenal

and that's only 10, there's a missing fixture somewhere for some reason.

[russon]

Reading on the other hand are doomed -

Home
Villa
Southampton
Liverpool
QPR
Man City

Away
Everton
Man Utd
Arsenal
Norwich
Fulham
West Ham

I can't see any way the team will improve enough to stay up - as promising as our attacking options are they can't compensate for the dreadful defence or Lambert's overall ineptitude.

[Legion]

I make that 33 if we draw against Norwich.

[Clampy]

For me it's one game at a time.

[eastie]

For me it's one game at a time.

Absolutely agree clamps!

I make that 33 if we draw against Norwich.

Oops! Quite right.

Still crap, though :-(

I protest.  There's already a finely crafted thread about this.

I agree with all those predictions up until the last 3 games when I think/hope/pray we'll get more than a point. Chelsea could be beatable if top 4 is sewn up and they have a Cup Final to worry about.
