Chavski have already confirmed they are playing a reserve team tomorrow . They will beat athletico and play reserves v Norwich too.
So stop looking for favours off the moaner


Didn't request favours from anyone nor mention reserve teams. If we go down we deserve to.

So stop making assumptions.

I wasnt making any assumptions, merely saying if we go down it will be down to ourselves. So calm down :)

Apologies vfl. My reply was aimed at silhillvilla

I remember doing all these obsessive permutations in a dim and distant past under JG. The difference is, that was to work out our chances of getting into the European places. We didn't.

I'll have a tenner on myself feeling used and dirty five seconds after the season ends.

I'm pretty much at the stage where I don't give a toss. Stay up or go down, keep Lambert or sack him, Lerner or new owner, £10m or £100m to spend - so fucking what? I'll keep going because I enjoy the company and get a buzz out of the odd win but it's just Monopoly with a ball and I refuse to let it get in the way of real life.

Careful, Chris, you'll start sounding like keepshiteon on the Small Heath thread. 'Its more fun in the lower leagues, fella, new grounds to go to'.

That's very healthy. I wish I could say the same.

We got really lucky with those two late Hull goals today, IMO similar to Spurs scoring twice from 2 down at Wigan last season which denied them two points and saved us.

 

Even if we don't get a single more point this season, Fulham need to win their last two to finish above us (I don't see them winning at Stoke), Norwich need 4 points from Chelsea away and Arsenal at home. Given they were demolished by Man. United I really don't see that happening.

 

We need a Sunderland win tomorrow. If they do then Cardiff need to win their last two to finish above us.

Overall we should still stay up but this is through none of our own doing, more the ineptness of others. What a sorry state of affairs this football club is nowadays.

When someone like Chris is saying this and Frank over on the match thread is saying he might not renew his season ticket, then I know things have really hit rock bottom

It comes to something when we could be relegated by

Fulham - Shit all season and on their 3rd manager.With the cherry on top that they could stay up from a goal from our record signing who we loaned them !!

Cardiff - Tan enough said

Sunderland - A team that employed Di Canio as manager

Yet we are in worse form then all of them and there being only 2-3 games left is what will save us.

What an utter cluster fuck of a season

I still think a draw is the ideal result tomorrow. If Sunderland won i'd feel they were quite likely to get the other win from there last 3 games that would bring them level with us. Those two wins and our likely defeats in the final couple of games could make their goal difference uncomfortably close to ours. It also means that only one of the other 3 needs to pull of there unlikely results.

A draw and I cant see two of those four getting the points they need to catch us.

Should stay up just about this season, but if Lambert has all or most of next season in charge we will go definately. The away form is awful as well now.

Mods, please, please purleeese, can we lock this thread?  It's doing my head in.  I'm depressed enough without coming on here and reading this.  I know I can bypass it but, I'm feckin drawn to it like a magnet.  Have pity on an old man who gets chest pains just reading this.

We'll definitely lock it.

When we've failed to stave off the inevitable and plunged ingloriously into the Championship achieved mathematical safety.

He's posted about 28,000 times on here so I don't for one minute believe he's "not that bothered". He's probably hurting as much as the rest of us.

3rd year on the trot. Has that ever happened before? Not since I've been a Villa fan that's for sure.

In an effort to cheer myself up I just looked on a blues forum, things are so bad there they are saying they'd welcome McLeish back, and how sorry they are that Zigic will leave at the end of the season.
