Just how bad do you feel about Villa (likely) going down?

[R.Bear]

A few years ago I would have been devastated. But the last few years have been so horrifically miserable that even if we somehow survived, I cant say I would be looking forward to another season of shit football, few wins and mind-numbingly tedious weekends as a result of the Villa. There is NOTHING fun about hovering around 15th-18th every season. I dont see whats enjoyable about that. If your goal every season is to simply survive then I want to no part of it. There is nothing wrong with a promoted side having those expectations but after a year or two of survival you have to look furthering expectation like lots of current teams did.

One last thing, anyone who says "it could do us some good going down" should check themselves into an insane asylum asap.

Well, I think this is my first post on this forum - and if I wish to avoid rope burns around my throat - or deep scars on my wrists - or the pain that comes from having my stomach contents pumped out - I think it may be my last.

Too much manic depression on show for my taste - I feel that Morley_crosses_to_Withe is closest to my own view.

As others have pointed out, Newcastle came back - and are we that much different ?  Sure they are shit at present - and may well be going down with us -  but it can be done.

After years of off-field [naughty swear removed] - we appear to have steadied that ship - now the problem is on the field. And I for one hope that RG sticks with us - wherever we are.

I think he has already stated that that is likely 

Having become a Villa fan in the old 2nd division - I can cope with it. No sackcloth & ashes for me. Not much Villa coverage either - as I live abroad. Still I would rather watch 5 minutes of us winning than 90+ of losing.

Probably not.. 

Thanks

Just said to the wife that if we lose today I'm throwing the towel in. Then said hang on, if we lose next match then I really will throw the towel in. Then thought no, if we were to win the one after that we have a chance. I'm not certain I'm as prepared for relegation as I thought I'd convinced myself I was.

Totally with you. After a few half performances that should be the bare minimum we expect, I have renewed enthusiasm!
