Taking away the 2/3 miracle results last season we were by far the worst team in the division.

Whilst the signings so far have been ok I don't see them improving us enough to avoid the inevitable.

As we stand I see us being relegated with 2 of 3 that were promoted

Take away all our points and we'd have had none.

Win them all and we'd win the league. We didn't, but we did pull off some results that, based on how they went, were near miracles (Man City, Chelsea, Southampton).

You mean the Chelsea game where we outplayed them and the others where we scored three goals in each? Those miracles?

I think he means miracles in that we finished so poorly and they all did well in the league, so it was a huge shock that we won those games.

Particularly Chelsea, we were the better team.

The Golds sell West Ham and buy us.
O'Leary is DOF.
Downing is manager.

You should not even say things like that as a joke. There are people on here of a very nervous disposition.

But at least we'd get to play all our home games in the Olympic Stadium.

Most clubs get unexpected results from time to time. Look at Sunderland's run at the end of the season.

Cardiff beat Man City. Stoke beat Chelsea and Arsenal. Hull beat Liverpool.

I reckon if Palace hadn't scored a miracle goal with their only shot at Villa Park, they'd have gone down. That win gave them the momentum to put a run together.

Palace will struggle this coming season. They really are no great shakes at all.

With the best will in the world I can't honestly say we weren't extremely lucky against City and Southampton. We played far better against Everton at home and ended up losing. That's football.

Like West Ham, I think with Pulis and Allardyce in charge they'll stay up. Take those two out of the equation and i'd have them both in the bottom five places.

Given where we are in terms of ownership, budget and playing staff we will as usual be making up the numbers.

Marginally better than last season.

Exactly. That's football - yet some of our supporters are the first to downcry our results and forget everyone else's.

It's going to be close, but I just about believe there are still 3 worse teams than us, just.

What's worrying is if we really are deep in the shit come the turn of the year there's probably little or nothing Lambert will be able to do about it in the transfer market if we remain unsold.
This is what 3 or 4 years of neglect has led to, if we cling onto Premier League status then I'll be pleased and very surprised.  Prove me wrong Villa.

This is all a bit of fun I know, but it is too early for this kind of thing.  So for now I'm just saying what I said awhile ago than if we don't learn from out mistakes we will go down sooner rather than later, and at the moment it looks like it might be this season.  Who knows though, if Joe Cole can stay fit and produce some of his past form, we get the right balance up front and improve at the back then we could be fine, but at the moment I am not too confident. Cups are hard to predict if we take them more serious this time and get some good draws then we could do something.  I will make concrete predictions closer to the season.
