History/nerdy-type questions

[Martyn Smith]

If we win tonight we will relegate two teams simultaneously, i.e. QPR and Reading.

Have we ever relegated two teams as the result of one match before? I certainly can't remember.

And if we should do that, then, given our last fixture it is possible that we could relegate all three teams this season. Have we ever done *that* before?

Interesting stat although i doubt very much it will come to fruition.

We could even relagate two teams and ourselves. Have to keep things the Villa Way after all.

[ACVilla]

I haven't seen this mentioned on SSN today.

Apparently Man Utd can win the league though.

Off the top of my head the only side I can remember us relegating is Newcastle. If I remember correctly the year Coventry went down other results would have sent them down anyway.

Hadn't we sent boro down too the week before we did the barcodes? Not entirely certain of all the maths regarding others results, but I vaguely recall that they needed to beat us to have any chance of staying up.

They weren't relegated that day, but the draw was generally regarded as not enough to keep them up, and so it proved.

That's the way I like it. Keep the pressure on them and away from us.

I'd like to share your optimism, but if there's one quality you have to admire in Ferguson's Yanited, it's their ability to ignore huge pressure.

They had to win by something like 5 goals

Clutching at straws a bit, but stranger things have happened.

[ADVILLAFAN]

We've gotten quite a few Newcastle managers the sack, but not two teams relegated at the same time. I'll believe it when it happens regarding our easy win away to Manure though.

Can't think of any off the top of my head. Hold on a sec, didn't it rain fish once in Sweden?

They didn't cope to well last season with a spot of pressure.

TS news just said both - that 2 would go down if Villa won and the obvious one.
