Bournemouth and Brighton outside bets? They've won 3 games between them in 20 matches.

I've gone Norwich, Watford, Brighton out of hope more than anything else. We have to get a bit more solid at the back. At least we've got a few more bodies in than our rivals and got McGinn to come back as well. I am clutching at straws though.

I wonder what are the odds this season of a team being relegated on goal difference? My guess is it's going to be very tight down there and I expect us to be in the middle of it unless there's a dramatic change.

It's going to be an awful few weeks where us and West Ham try to be not quite as shite as the other team.

I've got this awful feeling it'll come down to a winner takes all game on the last day of the season, I'll get a ticket through my West Ham season ticket holder brother and be sat next to the biggest Essex type geezer in East London, feigning my disgust at every Villa goal.

I think relegated teams will have a max of 36 points. We'll scrape by with a minimum of 37 or a maximum of 39. Imo Norwich, Watford and West Ham could well make up the bottom 3 with Bournemouth the most likely to slip into one of those places as they have an awful run-in playing all of the current top 8 and nobody in the bottom 6. Wishful thinking maybe but it's going to be tight.

I was aware West Ham had a tough run in but didn't know Bournemouth did too.

Well there's 13 games left each so chances are everyone's got difficult run-ins!

West Ham next games - ManCity & Liverpool away

Bournemouth have SheffUtd & Burnley, not "difficult" but not easy either

And Villa have Spurs then Saints.... well.....

We and Bournmouth might get a win or a couple of draws (ahem) in those two, but West Ham... nothing, unless thats the time for Liverpool's freaky loss...

That bastard result on Saturday.  Still makes my pee boil.  Just imagine if we had won it - five points clear of the bottom three.  Massive even at this stage.  It is what we do but Christ just once I would like us to be boring and win a game expected of us and win without drama.  There was no excuse for that ineptitude on Saturday.   Billings had time to compare dread hairstyles with Tyrone before slotting home.

I think Bowen will give Spam a boost.  But, given their next two matches four points from Spuds and Southampton would do nicely.

4th bottom us.

Watford
Brighton
Norwich

 ive gone for---Norwich Watford---and WHU  --but was really undecided about West Ham---it,ll be one of us Hammers and Bournemouth,i reckon.
that last game at West Ham could well be the deciding factor---but hopefully we will be safe by then----it might even boil down to goal difference----
hopefully the footballing Gods will smile favourably on The Famous ASTON VILLA

In the worst case scenario---how the hell would we cope back in The Championship? without possibly--Captain Jack SJM and Tyrone Mings?? i shudder with horror at the thought!!

If we go down we will be fine.  We will get decent money for those three.  A lot of the others could cut it in the championship and we just have to hope Brentford don't go up so we can buy Benrahma and Watkins.  Easy really.

What was the bottom three like this time last season - points wise?

Well for me being fine doesn't really fit with selling our best, most exciting player for a generation, and our other two players who it is mostly an absolute pleasure to watch.
