Relegation?

[Legion]

Agreed. If we stay up this season (and I think we will by the skin of our teeth), we are nailed-on certainties to go down next season unless there is drastic root and branch change.

I'd say with that Shane Long goal our luck is right in. Shane fucking Long.

The worst thing about being in this awful position (again) is the fucking pain between games.

I can't wait for the Hull game to come round because (hope of hopes) we might get the result to save our miserable season, and put this misery to bed.

But, I'm also absolutely dreading it because I know it's gonna be absolutely fucking horrible.

Yes I feel exactly the same.  I'm miserable for a few days after a game, then forget about it by the end of the week, then the nightmare reoccurs on Saturday/Sunday.  Its been like this pretty much for the last three seasons now.

I hope we are not uttering those utterances next week!

Where is Alan Hutton when you need him.

It's like an endless ride on the Waltzers, you keep going past the bits where you've already been sick.

We have been by and large very lucky this season imo. What makes it all the more galling that we are still where we are. We are definitely one of the 3 worst sides in this League and I have been saying that for a good, good while.

[Jimmy Rimmer]

In a weird way I'm looking forward to next Saturday. I'll be in the holt end with my son. And whatever happens it'll be exciting. Either the players give it everything or the crowd will give it to Lambert and Lerner. The players lap of (dis)honour should be interesting...

We have been arguably the worst team in the league for periods of the last four seasons.  Under Houllier and during Lambert's first season it was the December - February period and under TSM and Lambert this season it has been post March.  We have been genuinely awful during those periods.

I tend to leave on 87 mins to beat the rush. Next Saturday I may stay behind to vent

[phildaniels]

Let's say that regrettably, Chavski cheat, bore and bribe their way to the non champions league final.

And they can't win the league.

Can you begin to imagine the stunts he will pull in their last two league games?

At the expense of his great friends in B6, whilst taking the piss out of the league.

A dish best served cold.

Mate of mine just posted this on Facebook

I'm anti Lambert even though I've never booed or sang for him to be sacked. After seeing another packed away end let down again, not for the first time, I've come to think it's not just Lambert but Lerner and Faulkner are to blame as well. We're a club that deserve to be relegated. Gutless, pathetic end to the season.

I made an attempt to get on the team coach to ask questions but was told by a Villa 'staff member' (in tracksuit anyway) that he "doesn't give a fuck". I can quote that! This is somebody, looked like a youth player, who was on the teams official coach and that's his response.

Obviously I recommended he get off the coach immediately and repeat his words to me but he just beeped the coach horn to call on the police to bail him out.

I feel sorry for all the die hard fans that have been let down once again

They can't say that the fans have not been with them. The atmosphere next week has the prospect of being very toxic.

[Villafirst]

Whatever happens next week, it's about time Lerner got some stick. We've given Deadly more stick for far less. Lerner hides from the scene and is a complete coward. He's presided over the last 4 years, so it's his responsibilty.

[pauliewalnuts]

I've only just stopped vomitting after wanting Man United to get a result tonight, so it is with a mouth full of sick that I say we could do with Chelsea winning at Liverpool tomorrow.

Chelsea have still got to play Norwich and Cardiff.

We could do with them having something to play for for as long as is possible.
