useless Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 The games won't last forever but whilst there's still a chance might as well fight, rather than just giving up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Viila's future is in Villa's hands - where everyone else is in terms of points is not going to keep us up or relegate us - we will decide that. I saw, possibly for the first time today, a Villa, led by Ayew, competing in the premier league. It was not pretty, we did not have any flair, but I felt we tried really hard, Ayey exemplary. We obviously need wins, but I think what Garde stands for has today just taken some form. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And imagine if Leicester had have thought like that last season, or any other team who've avoided relegation against the odds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are on 7 points because that is all we have deserved. Sod any team near us. If we want to stay up, then it is up to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abdulaziz1 Posted December 19, 2015 Share Posted December 19, 2015 Its not the point. Its getting back to the game and fighting which might get us back to competetion. Now lets try and get above Sunderland. Then think of whats next. Being 19th would give us a huge boost Our chance of staying up is very low. But players were fighting today. Ayew,Veretout and Okore especially are playing very good. We are improving. Lets see how it goes. We dont have anything to lose. If we could somehow win against West Ham. Then who knows whats next.

Zatman Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 if we stay up it will be the greatest feat in Premier League history but its not going to happen best option is bring in Arry in January to help us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flamingsombrero Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 We need to start building for the Championship and we need to start in January. Chasing survival at this point with short term solutions is not only futile but will likely cripple us still further for years to come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 I hope yesterday's second half and all the pundits (and probably a lot of us) already saying we are down, will inspire the boys into a 4-5 game unbeaten run over Christmas. With some wins thrown in for measure.This is the definition of grasping at straws. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 I wouldn't mind betting if we won all five in a five game run we'd still be in the bottom three. That gets very hard to deal with as a team I'd think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dont_do_it_doug. Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 I wouldn't mind betting if we won all five in a five game run we'd still be in the bottom three. That gets very hard to deal with as a team I'd think If they win 5 in a row at this stage, even if that left them a couple of points short of safety the momentum would be enough to see us through. We'd get our miracle. It's an absurd notion of course. If, in one of the most astonishing turnarounds in the history of football we do survive it will be a slog, not a sprint. Despite what you might think, it IS possible. Wild as it would be, when we do get that first win we will find ourselves at the last chance saloon with an opportunity, one final opportunity, to kick on. It had to come yesterday. It didn't. So now in needs to come next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need people who are up for the Championship fight. They are not the same players we'd sign to try and keep us in the league (as such players would undoubtedly then look to leave). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post R.Bear Posted December 20, 2015 Popular Post Share Posted December 20, 2015 (edited) I really hate this "we just need to win 3 games in the next 5" nonsense. We've won ONE game this season and that was 4 months ago. We dont keep clean sheets, we struggle to score. Nothing has changed with another new manager. Why on earth does anyone think we will put together a run? We're one of the worst teams in Premier League history, virtually none of our players would make a single other starting XI. We keep breaking records with the words "longest" and "least" in them. I cant find a single positive anywhere.

Arj Guy Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 How many 'must win' games are we going to fail to win before people accept that we're going down? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted December 20, 2015 Share Posted December 20, 2015 Think we'll put a run together but it will be far too late. Wouldn't shock me if we won Bournemouth and Newcastle home games near the end of season, maybe Southampton aswell but we'd have left it far too late then.
