VillaJ100 Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Pretty sure this shower will stay up now this season. Too many teams are collapsing into the shit and knowing these they will score a offside goal off the arm off a corner incorrectly given and a own goal in their favour for two shit 1-0 wins in the last 2 games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demitri_C Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 Burton, Bolton and barnsley are going I think. To be honest even if they stay up they are just scraping it and paying large wages (gambling on promotion) but nowhere near. They will soon have to start selling their better players or they will be in big financial trouble. The likes of the adams jota. dont forget they have lots of loans in as well like Gallagher the only one who seema to score for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StewieGriffin Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 (edited) I still think they'll be down there. Burton look done, but everyone else seems much of a muchness. Hull and Sunderland you think have the quality to get enough points. Barnsley look like they're capable of a surprise result or two to help them. SHA don't score enough and don't seem to have the quality in the team to get enough surprise results to survive. It'll be tighter than a nuns chuff Edited January 21, 2018 by StewieGriffin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 (edited) Worth remembering even if Burton are "done" they have won 3 away games this season, SHA have one away win to their name. They've picked up 16 away points this season, SHa just 7. I'm assuming Burton will beat some of those teams at home they've beaten away. If they do that they can still finish above SHA.

HanoiVillan Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 I wouldn't count out Burton yet. They've known they would be down there all season and they won't be too disheartened to be bottom just on goal difference. They're only two points from safety and they are capable of beating some of the weaker sides in the division. About two months ago, it looked very much like 3 from 4 going down (Burton, Sunderland, Birmingham, Bolton). All four are still in massive danger, but they've managed to drag Hull, Barnsley and Reading very much back into danger, and at this point I think it could be any three from that 7 (though Reading do have a better squad and should probably be okay in the end, but their form is horrible right now).

Albion fans round here are a lot worse and I would much prefer them to do badly. I’m sick of media blowing smoke up the arse of the North East. I want to see the west midlands thrive and a good part of that from a sporting perspective means having strong rivalry’s in the top leagues. Blues, Baggies and Coventry in the championship with us and wolves in the prem would be fine by me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was chatting to my wolves mate over Christmas and he was saying he wanted wolves promoted (not villa) and baggies & stoke to go down so wolves could be the only top flight midlands team. The look on his face when I asked whether he thought Leicester were going down... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do in terms of the broader 'Midlands' region but in the West Midlands there are only 6 teams. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah i wasn’t sure if Stoke would be West Mids or not, personally I wouldn’t class the team as a West Mids team although they theoretically are. My thinking was the West Midlands teams are: Villa, Blues, Albion, Wolves, Coventry and Walsall. Thinking of it now I suppose Stoke and Burton do fall under that category.
