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.
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.

As has been said before If I wasn't a Villa fan, we're the sort of side I'd want to see go.
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 am filing the " we wont go down this season" in the same bin as "we are comfortably mid table"
Hang on it does. If I take 20 and add 0 it becomes 200 and another 0 and it's 2000.....(sorry!)
We will win on Sunday. Cheer up, folks

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.
