I didn't think I could feel more nervous than what I felt during the Albion semi final penalty shootout last year but my god this has topped that. Dreading it. Sooner this is all sorted and I can just chill out again the better. It's really high stakes (obviously!!!) - Stay up and even if Smith flounders we are PL club - and if needed attract a better manager. Relegated we will probably keep DS. if he flounders we might be looking a replacement bottom half of the championship & mid season. Probably not as dramatic as that - but that's why I will be bricking it from 4pm tommorow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are in the best position, we are the most in form team, we have the easiest fixture, we have the best goal difference, we have the best individual player... I could go on, we have played well since restart, I see no reason for that not to continue, I’m only disappointed we haven’t played to this standard and capability throughout the rest of the season. relax everyone and enjoy the game. I think West Ham are the form team to be honest. I just don't see us beating them.

Edit : west ham 6th in current form - villa 14th Yeah I know that but I was referring to the form team of the three in the relegation battle. I can see us picking up a result but even if we don’t I just don’t see Watford or Bournemouth bettering our results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So say we go down because we lose Sunday and Bournemouth win it’ll be seen as a shocking season yet if we stay up due to all 3 of us losing it’s decent. I find it hard to see how we can gloss it up. Yes I will be delighted due to how the season has gone and our mini turn of form at the end. Just don’t think it’s decent. Either way. Up the boys for Sunday!!! Not decent but definitely acceptable taking the situation at the end of last season into account! Onwards and upwards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 ill be amazed if we avoid the scenario that a goal in any of the 3 games in the last 10 mins doesn’t impact us hopefully Bournemouth and Watford are 3-0 down at half time and we’re 5-0 up (but even then it is villa...) but I just don’t see anything other than watching through my fingers come the death of it all 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would we get abuse from Cherries and Watford fans? Yes. Will it be hilarious? Yes Or bemoan the Palace away game. If’s and but’s are ‘meh’. Everyone has a moment in the season where they think things turned or it was an ‘if’ moment. Ultimately, we are where we are because we’re not a very good side. The Sheffield United moment wasn’t that important really. Who’s to say we wouldn't have changed the way we played and gone on to win that game had they been allowed the goal? Come on Villa, just one more game. UTV. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scenarios like this just don’t ever seem to be concluded in the first 20-45 mins of a match. E.g. we’re one up and both Bournemouth and Watford are two down. There will probably be a moment tomorrow where we slip back into the bottom 3. This will go down to the wire and probably the last 10 mins where a goal somewhere will change everything. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chindie Posted July 25, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted July 25, 2020 I've never been less nervous about a game. Villa disappoint. It's what we do. I fully expect West Ham to completely **** us and for Watford and Bournemouth to turn into prime Brazil and Barca respectively, and us to go down. On goal difference, just to twist the knife that little more. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 Not hugely nervous as I've said before I'll find it hard to get into next season if most of it is played BCD or with limited capacities. This season was just a case of needs must and finishing things off. Obviously better if we stay up but I fear we won't sign that well as usual and will be in thick of another relegation battle. Think we'll come straight back and dominate the championship as a few have said above. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ben1505 Posted July 25, 2020 Share Posted July 25, 2020 (edited) I’ve crunched the numbers, and assuming that a W,D,L has probability of 1/3 for each game and assuming that if Watford and us both Win or Lose then they don’t overturn the GD then 17/27 scenarios see us safe, 9/27 scenarios see Watford safe and 1/27 sees Bournemouth safe.. of course they are massive assumptions so the whole thing was a waste of time... #pointlesscalculations Edited July 25, 2020 by ben1505 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely that is a logical even positively sensible decision when compared to playing Chris Samba as a striker. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
