You mean when we stay up and Norwich are relegated? Yes Norwich gave us 6 points.
 I think the 4 points from Bpaggies after being two down in both games is also a significant contributor.

Reasons to be positive about this weekend…

Hull’s away record is W3 D3 L11. The three victories came against Newcastle, Sunderland and Cardiff. There are only three teams with a worse away record - Cardiff, Norwich and Stoke, which brings me to my next point…

Stoke may be poor away, but their home record is W9 D6 L3. They have only been beaten at home by Norwich (back in September), Liverpool and Spurs. They have beaten Chelsea, Arsenal and Man Utd and drawn with Man City and Everton.

Fulham have won four away games. They were against Sunderland (opening game of season), Palace (back in October when Palace were shit), Norwich (in December) and us. Their victory at Villa Park was their only away win in 2014.

Villa to get a point. Fulham to get a point at best. Norwich won’t win at Chelsea. We’ll be safe by Sunday evening. I hope.

Me too, but as someone said on another forum given our penchant for ending team's poor runs it would almost be better if Hull had 20 away wins in a row under their belts.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/teams/aston-villa/10794375/Aston-Villas-top-earning-players-face-pay-cuts-if-club-are-relegated-from-Premier-League-to-Championship.html

Might have to let the club masseur go if the disaster occurs

I hope the Telegraph are going to publish an article about potential pay cuts to players at Norwich, Fulham, Sunderland and Cardiff this morning too. To me the article is a space filler and serves no real purpose. I'm quite sure all clubs have relegation clauses even if the likelihood of them being activated at places like Man City and Chelsea are between slim and none.

I don't think Hull have beaten us in the league either have they?

I really would like to go into the Man City game knowing the battering we are likely going to take won't matter.

Agreed, I think it's hugely important we win and end any worries this weekend.

Yeah, they had beaten us at Villa Park 2-0 under McLiesh.

Hull are just as poor as us.

Shame, there's another record Lambert could add to his unimpressive set.

I'm going to evoke the spirit of 88 and wear my shirt from that season to the game in hope of another 5-0. We're also unbeaten in 9 against them stretching back to 1987.

Not without relying on other teams results. We know that if we win we're safe regardless of what anyone else does.
