As for Cash, three or four clubs wanted him and Swift is still at Reading. It’s all a bit silly really. Just read it, we were never in for Ramsdale.

HanoiVillan Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 4 hours ago, MaVilla said: 17 games, 2 points. I honestly thought they could get out of it, but its looking more and more unlikely as the games pass. They had no chance about 7 games ago to be honest. To get to 40 points from here they would have to maintain a rate of 2 points per game for the rest of the season. Their real target is 12 points. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feel for their fans, football is one of the few ways to escape lockdown so must be horrible for them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was shit enough when we went through it, I can't imagine how miserable it must be to be going through it on top of all the rest of the crap this year.

I don't think it's an exaggeration to say your football team performing like that could push some over the edge. F me it was depressing enough when Villa were relegated in normal times, and we were better than them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve had a horrific year, COVID situation only being part of it so it’s something I’ve thought about a fair bit. Football and Villa in particular have been really important as an escape for me, it’s been an important release and something to actually be able to enjoy. It’s not become more important but being able to watch it certainly has. Its also been important for giving me something I can do with my boys. I hate to think how I’d feel if Villa were doing how they are or we had our relegation season now. Must be really tough going for some. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 (edited) Can see them being really random and having a decent FA cup run, Bristol Rovers away so banana skin but their most winnable game of the season so far. They got to the quarters last season and Arsenal only edged them out last minute. Edited January 3, 2021 by VillaChris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember a few yrs ago though Palace lost like their first 8 games and needed europa league form to stay up, they did it as well and got about 50 points.

Guest av1 Posted January 3, 2021 Share Posted January 3, 2021 Just looked at their next 4 league games. Newcastle Tottenham UTD City. Poor sods. Not beyond the realms that they are still on 2 points going in to February, 21 games in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
