Relegation Watch

[ChicagoLion]

It's starting to feel that some people want us to fail just so they are proven right on a supporters forum...sad.

The narrative with some will all be about how lucky we were to stay up if we do

So some supporters want us to go down and others Have  their excuses ready if we stay up.
Not sure where this ranks in the better supporters than you,

Pretty high me thinks.

A stat ahead of tomorrow, Watford are 0-14 down from their last two games against citeh. They've lost all of the last 12 meetings with an aggregate score of 6-46.

Guardiola has confirmed that he will be rotating his squad for the last two leagues games, the swine.

God that must of been bugging you to actually scroll through the last 6 or 7 pages to seek it out.
If some people want to be perennially negative including yourself good luck, it has been crap enough for most of the season to induce negativity in most of us including me. If I want to point out that in my opinion, if we manage to stay up, some posters will say that we are lucky, I’m entitled to do that or am I not? I’m not saying the same people won’t want us to stay up, just that they will say were lucky. I don’t think I’ve made one comment about some supporters being better than others or some supporters wanting us to get relegated, you’ve draw those conclusions yourself. Unless you want to spend some more time scrolling through pages of various threads to prove some point?

It’s amazing that we’re still in with a chance. Win 2 games and stay up. Sadly I just can’t see us changing the habit we’ve had all season of bottling things.
But please just do something extraordinary Villa!

Thankfully the reserves are still capable of winning matches.

I think it depends. We’re pretty lucky to still be in the chase given our results and points total. If we play out of our skins in the next 2 games and get 6 points luck won’t be the main story but if we stay up on 34 then it will, rightly.

Why does it matter?

Personally I think it's unlikely we can pull it off, but if it we do, I think it will be be one of the most amazing feats I've witnessed in 32 years of following us and probably the most joy. I so much want Deano and the lads to succeed.

Weren't there rules introduced, or at least discussed, to stop safe clubs playing reserves in later matches? Can't remember if anything came from it.

No excuses from me if we go down. If we do go down it's because we haven't been good enough and the manager is included in that. No one is a better fan than the other...but whatever my opinion at least  I don't have to make the same point on every single Heroes Discussion topic.. that were S**t, Smith is a clown and Purslow doesn't know what he's doing on numerous occasions throughout  the day and probably why I have only made 800 posts in 10 years on here.

That's probably why I spend most of my time on the Villa Memories section!

It really isn't, given the number of points we've got and the quality of teams around us it's entirely expected for us to have a decent chance to stay up. This is what I meant earlier, people comment about us being 'lucky' to still be in the mix and clubs doing us favours as if it's only us in the fight that have problems.

[wince]

Just for the record I’m a perennial pessimistic miserable c*** when it comes to football but rather decent in all other areas. Up the villa!

Which is fine, as long as we acknowledge - should it come to pass - that we weren't unlucky to go down.

I thought that went away when clubs had to choose squads of 25 players as that effectively meant that if a player was good enough to be in your squad he was good enough to not be deemed a pisstake if he played and a team lost unexpectedly.
