Of course there are more important things that football, but that doesn't mean I want Villa to go down. For a start there's no guarantee we wouldn't just be mid table or lower in the Championship given the way the club is being run. Additionally even if you're at the top, where's the joy from doing well below the top level when you're a club as big as Villa. If Villa go down it will be a disaster for the club.

Whenever I see the footage of the play-off final in May, with all that delirium, I always think, "yeah, in the second division."

Nothing good comes from relegation, nothing.

I do not know if we will go down or not but I am angry as hell we are involved in a relation battle AGAIN.

Nobody at the club seems even vaguely interested in progressing or even (heaven forbid) actually winning things.

I am angry.

All the talk about only needing 37 or 38 points to survive - right now I can't even see how we will get 30 points.

I agree, I'm fed up of us perpetually repeating mistake after mistake. As has been said before If I wasn't a Villa fan, we're the sort of side I'd want to see go.

I am filing the " we wont go down this season" in the same bin as "we are comfortably mid table"

Yup. We are playing shite. If I was not a villa fan I would avoid watching us. 

I wanted us playing like a Brummie Dortmund. Instead we are hoofball merchants who are decent at nicking the odd away win.

We were all like this over xmas when the performances (Fulham, Stoke, Palace and Swansea) were arguably worse than now and we still picked up wins v Sundeland and WBA and a point at Liverpool so that was 7 points from 4 games.

We need to find 3 wins from somewhere and a draw or two. It doesn't look likely atm but if we can scrambe a win v Norwich we will be o.k. Not and it's going to get very dodgy for Lambert and us.

Quite so. You can keep adding 0 to any number and it gets no bigger.

I've never been to Leyton Orient so that would be a positive

I have gone full circle on this.After supporting the club all the way down to the then third division and back again i can say it wasn't that bad, remember some great games on the way back. What is attractive about playing in a division that only four clubs have a chance of winning, year after year after year leaving the club i love to struggle between mid table and relegation, year after year after year. If we do stay up we will be back here next season as we have been the last two or three seasons discussing whether to sack the manager etc.
Lambert looks and sounds like a dead man walking, Lerner does not have the money anymore and the club is leaderless from top to bottom. If we do go down it won't be the end of the world we all have priorities that are more important than football.

Pretty much sums it up for me.

Moi aussi

I used to take digs at Coventry fans.

I have been laughing at myself for four years now.

I don't want that abuse anymore.

Give me back our mid-table obscurity.
