Yep, that Watford v Arsenal game scares me. Never rely on Arsenal.

Watford will win. Welbeck will score the winner.

Unless they're playing us. They're normally a pretty safe bet then, the tarquin wankers.

We were 80/1 to get promoted on 1st March last season. We then beat Derby 4-0 and dropped to 33/1, at which point my mate lumped on us. He was particularly happy at Wembley after the PO Final.
8 of us went for a few pints after WBA beat us at VP. We put £80 on the Villa to go up ay 50/1. We enjoyed wembley as well. There have ben a few suggestions that we put another 80 on us to stay up.

I watched this market closely and never saw us getting near 80/1, which bookies did you use?

It will still take a monumental effort from the lads to still be in with a chance of survival against West Ham. It will also require other results to go our way.  But there's still hope. On the flipside relegation would give us parachute payments to rebuild the squad plus a huge amount from the sale of Jack is available for us to spend as he's a home grown player. Then we do still have wealthy owners who will have watched Man City smash ffp and they will be looking at the implications for clubs like us. So stay up and build the squad or get relegated and still be in a good position to rebuild. Either way I'm still optimistic for a bright future at Villa Park. It feels nothing like the gloomy days of our previous relegation and if we do go down I'll be backing us with a hefty bet on an immediate return.

I'm not sure I'd say monumental effort to be honest a win and a defeat in the next 2 would almost certainly see us still within 2 points of safety going into the last game.

Quite a big effort then? Considering Palace was only our 3rd win this year?

quite big I can accept, monumental was the term I disagreed with.
