NoelVilla Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 This has calmed me down a little. A Sunderland win or draw tomorrow and a Chelsea win at Anfield and we are probably safe. Chelsea will want to win their remaining games then to give themselves the chance to be champions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubby Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Hull is a must-not-lose. As much as i hate the idea, I think we should park the proverbial bus. Problem is we're so poor at defending they're likely to score if we sit back. We actually started the game well today. If we could have played like that in the last six games and converted just a couple more of our chances then we'd have been ok well before now. Scoring goals is the main problem if you ask me, the defence has been as poor all season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tubby Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 (edited) In an obscure way I'd feel better for a Sunderland win tomorrow. That will leave Cardiff needing to win both games which is possible as Newcastle are on awful form and Chelsea could field a weakened team. Max 36pts. If Sunderland win they'll get another 4 points easily I reckon. Expect 36pts. Fulham could win both but Palace are stubborn and anything but a win away to Stoke next weekend and that's them done vs. us. Expect 35pts Norwich are down, but if they did get 4 points they'd end up on 36pts. We need 1 more point for safety unless Fulham fail to win next week, Norwich lose and depending on tomorrow's result, Cardiff fail to win next week also. Final Table in my opinion: 16. Sunderland 36pts 17. Villa 35pts 18. Fulham 35pts 19. Cardiff 34pts 20. Norwich 32pts Staying up on goal difference. *Sigh!* I'd take that now. All that is is a Sunderland win tomorrow, Norwich loss next week and Fulham & Cardiff both drawing away from home. Put like that it's possible we'll play Spurs safe on goal difference and without the pressure that taunts us so greatly.

Amo69 Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 To be honest if we get no point from our remaining games I can't even see one of the above scenarios happening let alone two. We're safe. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacketspuds Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 We're actually better off than I thought we would be this morning. I pessimistically expected a Fulham win and a Norwich flukey point. Us losing was a given. We just need 1 point and I think we will be safe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 I still think if anybody's to win out of Cardiff and Sunderland tomorrow then it should be Cardiff because I think they'd have a lesser chance of catching us than would Sunderland if they were to win. Plus I've just been reading through this so really hope Sunderland go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AshVilla Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Steve Bruce would love to push us deeper in the shite I've heard him in press conference before at various clubs including Blues saying that he hates losing to us He really does not like us for some reason and make no mistake Hull will be up for it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Lambert can't motivate our players to do that, but Bruce can because of some petty grudge from when he was Blues manager, then Lambert doesn't deserve to manage anyone again.

AshVilla Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 (edited) Lambert couldn't motivate a starving man to eat a cheeseburger If it were me i'd put Cowans in charge A club legend at the helm for one home "cup" game the atmosphere would be supercharged as all the fans would be behind him Lambert has lost the fans anyway and all i predict at our next home game if he's in charge is nerves and if we concede the atmosphere really could get nasty Edited April 26, 2014 by AshVilla Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

briny_ear Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 If Villa are not mathematically safe by the final day of the season, it could be curtains because these player's are no good. Fixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodgyknees Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 Am I the only person who is very worried? A lot of people seem to think we are safe, I just cannot think that right now. Not with how our season has gone, our luck and the way we just play like we are doomed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted April 26, 2014 Share Posted April 26, 2014 All it takes is for us to lose again next week and a couple of teams below us to win and it's looking like certain relegation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
