Relegation?

[supertom]

Norwich need a miracle. Cannot see them getting another win. Arsenal at home could be key for them, particularly if Everton have pulled the gunners trousers down and mathematically nabbed their fourth spot already. Arse players may well then sleepwalk the last game with the FA Cup in mind. Conversely, if Arsenal have sewn up 4th spot by this point, the same might apply.

Fulham need 5 points to overtake us (if we're to assume we get nowt, frighteningly likely). That is just about do-able. I don't see them doing much more than that.

Cardiff and Sunderland. Forget it. Dead and buried.

As for Hull. Home and dry to be honest. Hopefully by the time we play them they'll have 1-3 more points to cement it and will then be in coasting mode.

I think we've got 2-3 more points in us which is more than enough.

Just fired this over to our beloved club on their official web site, here's hoping but noty holding my breath...

Will Season tickets for 2014-15 be reduced if Aston Villa are relegated ? At this moment in time this is a distinct possibility and with only 6 wins to date in all competitions at Villa Park during the season this surely represents very poor value for money. I believe the fans need to know what is being done to address this as we are not being told by any direct means.

I have followed our beloved club since 1971 and apart from our relegation in the late 80's & don't recall the morale amongst my fellow supporters being so low as it present. Someone in the Villa Park hierarchy needs to stand up and be counted because without the supporters and the fan base all over the world we have nothing.

I don't expect this e-mail to be read or a response received as this would appear to be the way Aston Villa, a once great and proud club conducts its' business these days, behind a wall of silence.

I really hope you prove me wrong on this occasion but I have my doubts, please prove me wrong ?!

Thanks

The best way to guarantee we don't print something is to say you know we won't print it.

Could see Naarwich getting at least a point against Liverpool, just can't see the Redscouse's run continuing.  And as you say, Arsenal could be on the beach/ conserving energy by then.

Based on his previous games against them, I'd expect that Liverpool could field Suarez on his own and that would be enough to dispatch Norwich.

Can we snatch relegation at the last hour?

in the words of the great man.

Do you want to bet against us?

[dicedlam]

My concern is that if we play like we have played against Stoke, Fulham and Palace, every Premier League team can beat us easily.
I count more on the fact the Norwich must face 4 very difficult games in which they will struggle to make more that one point.
Very sad the we, the once mighty Villa, are reduced in these conditions to have to count on the opponents disgraces, but this is the actual situation.

Spot on.

Never let it be said that your grasp of English is questionable Archie. You have summed up the stark reality that our once proud club have found themselves in.
Having to even think that we need to rely on other teams inadequacies is a very sad state of affairs.

Yet again.

I honestly think that one point will be enough for us. Then again, I have no idea how or when we'll get it. That said, I fully expect us all to give it everything we have on Saturday...by that I mean start on the front foot and play with the brakes off...it's when we try and grind draws is where we have often got done late on.

Des I am really losing patience with you. Two pages back you said 2 points and now it's 1. Please tell me the truth as my nerves are at breakdown point?

[ozzjim]

3 would make it certain.  Southampton is the best chance.

[olaftab]

I agree 3 is the number.

[JUAN PABLO]

Draw Soton

win Hull


If we dont beat Hull , it will be so close , but Norwich, Cardiff and Sunderland are the certs for me

I'm sorry. The truth is I don't know. Who does? That's the beauty of a relegation scrap.

Cardiff: Stoke H, Sunderland A, Newcastle A, Chelsea H

You would say they have a decent chance of 6 points from that group of games on the back of their win at the weekend. Say 35.

Fulham: Spurs A, Hull H, Stoke A, Palace H

Again 6 is not beyond them. Palace final day could be a given, Hull at home with them and us could decide who finishes above who. Stoke A is a lottery, Spurs should beat them. Optimistically for them say 6 points - 36.

Norwich: Liverpool h, Man U A, Chelsea A, Arsenal H - Even the most optimistic fan could not see more than 3 points at the most. I reckon none. Finish on 32. Down.

Villa: Southampton H, Swansea A, Hull H, Man City A, Spurs A - I reckon we will get a point at home against Hull. A second against Southampton and we are sorted I think on 36. Cardiff would need 7 to reach 36. Fulham would need 7 or 6 and a lot of goals. Norwich more 4 and a lot of goals. So from that 5, 1 win, or 2 draws and I can't see us dropping.

Will we do it.......

A last minute OG at the weekend would suit me.
