Oddschecker story https://www.oddschecker.com/insight/football/20180606-odds-slashed-on-villa-being-relegated-following-winding-up-order Odds slashed on Villa being relegated following winding-up order Callum Wilson | Wednesday 6th June 2018 / 11:25 They’ve been slashed from 25/1 into just 8/1 following the winding-up order Aston Villa have had their odds slashed on being relegated from the Championship, following reports that a winding-up order has been handed to the club. They’ve been cut from 25/1 yesterday morning, into just 8/1 as of today, following an overwhelming amount of bets on their demise. In total, no less than 97% of bets in the last 24 hours have been placed on the Dr Tony Xia-owned club slipping into League One. Newly promoted Rotherham are favourites to slip out of the league at even money, followed by Bolton (6/4), Ipswich (11/4), Hull (4/1) and QPR (4/1). A total of £70m over the past two seasons and an unattainable wage structure has resulted in a HMRC winding-up order, with reports suggesting there’s a real chance of administration. Oddschecker spokesperson George Elek said: “Very rarely do we see such a high proportion of bets on any single market that we have for Villa being relegated. “They’ve attracted 97% of all bets in the last 24 hours at a ridiculously high volume, with punters lumping on what could be an eventual demise for the West Midlands club. “To rub salt in the wounds, one punter from Small Heath has placed £145 on Villa to be relegated into English football’s third tier – at least some Birmingham fans have found solace in Villa’s fall from grace.”

I know Southgate said he won't choose any championship players for the England World Cup squad but I reckon there are a few that could step up. I'll start with: Jack Grealish Ryan Sessegnon Do you agree? And who else?

we are too deep. probably gonna concede a penalty

FINALLY. GET IN

lol @ hourihane

Can we force Grealish to wear proper shinpads? I'm scared he's gonna get studded and be out of the playoffs.

Yep start resting players for playoffs. My God forest are crap at defending set-pieces

Cardiff and Fulham lose all their games, we win all ours. Wolves get docked 20 points for breaking FFP rules. We could still be champions...don't lose hope! Oh, and England will win the World Cup. Wow these new antidepressants I'm taking are great!

Not great second half but Leeds coulda played another 90 mins and they still wouldn't have scored. Overall...

Hope that was our 'bad' half :/

Whelan an absolute **** liability

Cardiff opened the door and we slammed it in our own faces. So disappointed...

LOL 2 pens missed in stoppage time. Hilarious. Need to win tomorrow to pile on the pressure

Cardiff vs Wolves is first on Friday Just hope that Wolves win otherwise we will be 5-7 points behind come Tuesday and the outside chance of 2nd is probably over. Excited but nervous...

Almost certainly playoffs but... If Wolves beat Cardiff and Villa beat Norwich at the weekend and then, if we beat Cardiff on Tuesday we'll be one point behind them by this time next week. A lot of 'Ifs' but not outside the realms of possibility. Then it would be a 3-way shootout between Villa, Cardiff and Fulham for the second auto slot.

BBC Game Stats

Easy...

Well, when Bruce announced his starting line-up I thought it was good so in terms of that I can't knock Bruce and in the first half we were much the better team. But the players were absolutely shit in the second half. The whole midfield, including Grealish were terrible. The strikers never had a chance because the midfield was so bad. Despite a couple of scares, the defence were quite good imho But that is 3 shit performances in a row. We need to improve or even our playoff position isn't assured.

"The Ice Man Cometh" - Love it!

didn't want that half to end - villa getting on top

2 shitty goals from shitty defending

Bloody Fulham 90+1 minute winner
