useless Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Some just pretend that they think we're already down because of some idea that if they do that then if relegation does happen they won't be as dissapointed because they will have mentally prepared for it. And others won't say anything positive about our prospects of staying up out of some believe that if they do so then our chances will be somehow jinxed.

S-Platt Posted February 17, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted February 17, 2020 We can still stay up. The spine of the team in a couple of games time will be Reina Mings McGinn Samatta. Jack will be Jack and we can give anyone a game. Look at it this way take away the last minute goals in the last 2 home league games we would have 2 points. So yes it was a kick in the nuts yesterday but we are a team that tries to win every game. It gets you more points than settling for draws in the long run. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vive_La_Villa Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 I felt so devastated after yesterday’s game I went to bed. It’s just a game, how it can it make us feel that way? I’ve decided football isn’t a healthy past time and I am going to slowly move away from following the ‘ugly’ game. Might have a cup final ticket for sale. Will let you know. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aston Villa kick you in the nuts on average 15 times a season but we all come back for more. The highs make it worthwhile however rare they are. This club is like most drugs, damaging to health most definitely. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do the games against Watford and Leicester not balance this feeling out somewhat? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s true. I know I’m just being dramatic. It’s just a game right? Is being in top flight that much better than the championship though? I really enjoyed last season.

Raver50032 Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 For all the 'we're 17th, we'll stay up no problem' jingoism, the team below us has a game in hand. It currently isn't even fully in our own hands what happens to us. Yeah, Saints have been poor at home... we've been poor away from home. We got beasted at Villa Park by them not too long ago. So what's changed? What makes you think we're suddenly going to do okay at St Marys? All you're doing is delaying the inevitable. We simply haven't been good enough at the back this season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villalad21 Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Have a gut feeling West Ham will beat Man City after all the CL ban controversy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raver50032 Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 If we have any hope of lifting the cup against Manchester City, there is no reason why any of us here would doubt that Hammers have a chance of getting at least a point off them mid-week. Saints is a must win. And for the benefit of the tape, I hope we survive, I really do. I just can't see it at the moment. The incentive though is, £50 to VillaTalk if we do survive. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, if it's inevitable that we're going down, why not make it £5,000 to VT if we survive? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But despite shuffling the pack over and over - we beat some of the poor sides and always lose to the decent ones - do we have it in our locker to put a run together over the remaining games - thats better than games played so far ? - Really not sure we do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My view exactly mate. Cannot see where the required points are coming from with the constant individual errors we make. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't cus we lack any sort of consistency. We need to stop hemorrhaging goals to start with. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theres plenty of teams who struggle and continue to struggle and get relegated. That fact that Leicester went on a good run six years ago and stayed up - doesn't make it any more likely that we will.

Leicester's run towards the end of that season was unbelievable. Not the sort of things most teams down the bottom do. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
