I hate to burst your delusional bubble but it's over. ive got no delusions about us, i'll admit to being defeatenist, we arent good enough but im looking at everyone else and neither are they... if we keep our heads down and eat away at the points, stranger things have happened, liverpool are likely to play lucas at CB tomorrow, quality striker means nothing, baggies will stay up winning 1 in 4 games 1-0 from a set piece Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Eight points off safety with 13 games left and no striker who is any where near good enough to play at this level. I hate to burst your delusional bubble but it's over. Don't you think the word delusional is a bit harsh there? Not just on a personal level but on a practical level too. We are 8 points off with a game in hand, which I would of personally love to see us win today. Whilst I think that's a tough ask, "delusional" it is not. I struggle to see where the goals are coming from too but I would hope that now we have a solid base they are working hard on that. Let's hope the delusional folk are correct. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 To say that it's over, is a delusion as that is a believe with evidence to the contrary. We have a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One For The Road Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 To those who would like to see us travel to the Emirates for a title/relegation showdown, I have to say, no bloody way! We would get smashed from pillar to post as per the FA Cup final. We would need to be safe before we face Arsenal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 i thinks a case of sat here now would you take it and i dont see how the answer could be no, obviously everyone would rather be safe by then and enjoy the celebration i didnt realise that before, newcastle have spurs at home, if we go in to the last game of the season with us and newcastle both needing a win to stay up and spurs and arsenal both needing a win to win the league then yeah thats the best end to a season ever with swansea at home to man city too and ranieri potentially winning the league away at chelsea 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 we are still in contention to stay up but I still dont see it, we have not shown a thing all season to think we will win 7 from 13 to stay up especially since I think this will be a high relegation points season maybe 38 points 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted February 14, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted February 14, 2016 I've enjoyed thinking about the big escape but sadly I think today will be too great a step with no decent forwards against a team that have largely underachieved this season. I'm looking forward to the grand clear out in the summer just to know who in our team is in it for the long term and I pray that Remi stays put, not because he is a legend but simply for continuity.

sne Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 So what are the odds the papers tomorrow will have headlines like "Heartbreak for Villa" should we lose today? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abdulaziz1 Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 A win today, and we are back to the race. A draw would be good for the momentum and give us an extra point on teams above us, but that would require atleast 4 points from the next two after that. to keep in touch.

villan-scott Posted February 14, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted February 14, 2016 Praying for a win and the gap to be cut to 5 points. If that's the case we are definitely in with a shout, as our form would be top 10, with plenty of points to play for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abdulaziz1 Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 I think Leicester and Spurs winning today or atleast drawing would be good for us (irrelevantly). We've already played Leicester who are yet to play our rivals apart from Bournemouth. Spurs would play Swansea after this So you would like them to go there without having their confidence damaged. I know we would play them in the coming weeks. But it would be a hard game for us anyway. Arsenal and City are a big teams who would play for pride even if their confidence were damaged. So atleast we need Leicester to continue their form and fly high. I would like them to win the league also. They worked really hard and deserve it. To win the league in these circumstances is really something. Sadly, their turning point was from a team that we all know. If we stayed up I would really forgive them lol.

Grasshopper Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 People keep saying that Leicester were the turning point. The turning point was when TS decided that the quickest way out with maximum compensation was to make a b-line for bottom of the league. I pretty sure that this was about a day after the September transfer window when he realised. "oh ****, No goalscorer, I've bought the wrong B'burn player, RL doesn't know his a**e from his head, TF is Arsenal, so is HA and even I cant BS my way out of this" Picks up phone, calls 'ary "slaaaaaaaags awl of em" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrenm Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 I said at the beginning of January that a decent striker would probably keep us up. That not happening has meant that Lerner has effectively done himself out of a fair few million quid. He gave up on this season too soon. The latest wrong decision in the line of pretty much every single one since he bought the club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HanoiVillan Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 We're finished. The devastating blows to both confidence and goal difference have combined to give us a 0% chance of survival. The players clearly never believed it. You could see that today. I haven't seen less effort in a Premier League game since - well, since Newcastle played yesterday. But we're even worse somehow.

penguin Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 (edited) Forget locking it, might as leave it open for next season. Fully expect Lerner to have nothing but cost cutting and surviving on the cheap in mind yet again, nothing but a downward spiral until that complete and utter word removed gets as far away from this club as possible.
