Basically he's saying that the teams in the bottom three almost certainly won't overhaul the 7/8 point gap to send us down. While that's probably correct, it's worth keeping in mind that 33 points would only have kept us up in one of the last ten seasons, so to say we could lose every game and stay up is almost certainly nonsense.

ClarrieBlue Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Before the Wigan game we were 7 points ahead of the bottom three, today we're 8 points clear with a game in hand. Our situation has improved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted March 24, 2012 Moderator Share Posted March 24, 2012 we're still closer to 8th than 18th, with a game in hand and despite todays scoreline a huge goal difference advantage over the 18th placed club Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MR_Black_AVFC Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 If I remember rightly, didn't SHA think they were more or less safe last season and still got relegated? Anything can happen in football. You cannot judge the last stages of a season on how many points a team have amassed up to this point. Relegation threatened teams always rally with 5-10 games to go and there is always one team that were considered 'safe' who get dragged into it for a showdown on the last day. Who would have thought Wigan would win at Liverpool today? Wigan have been playing well of late without getting the results they deserve, QPR have a team of quality players - surely it is only a matter of time before they hit some form, Blackburn have rallied recently and Bolton seem to want to prove a point due to the Muamba situation. The only team I would say are definitely gone are Wolves. I just cannot see them turning it around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeafyVilla Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Anyone who thinks it can't happen need to wake up. I've been saying this for the last 6 weeks on various sites/pages and all I've had in reply is that I'm a pessimist and I'm all doom and gloom, but I've had a bad feeling about relegation for a long time now, I really hope I'm wrong but I still see some of the other teams below us surpassing us.

bickster Posted March 24, 2012 Moderator Share Posted March 24, 2012 Who would have thought Wigan would win at Liverpool today? Quite a few people, Liverpool's form at home is dire, Liverpool also know they have bugger all to play for in the league, don't even want UEFA (they proved that last year) and have their eyes set firmly on the FA Cup as a result. If Wigan can win there, why can't we? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeafyVilla Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 We'll go to Liverpool and get hammered knowing our luck, the bin dippers will at last find some decent home form, bloody scouse gits... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veloman Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 I last took my daughter down to VP about 13 years ago. Now she is a teacher and took her class on a 'field trip' to VP the other week. The guide who showed them round asked if anyone had been to a Villa match and she could, rightfully, claim that she had. The guide asked who was in the team when she saw them and the 2 that sprang to mind were Ugo and Lee Hendrie. Apparently the guide said 'We don't have players like that now' ! What a state of affairs. PS I'm afraid she remembered those 2 'cos Hendrie reminded her of Robbie Williams :oops: and Ugo used a sports therapist that treated one of my cycling mates.

endof Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Well the Bolton game is a must win game otherwise we will end up like blues,looked safe and then went on a disastrous run to go down on 39 points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.Bear Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Not getting relegated will be literally the only positive to come out of this season. That is a horrifying thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
