villapark1 Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 I think QPR could get a result against city ont he last day, I mean City look like they have lost out on the Title now, and will have nothing to play for on the last day. So I think a result could be in QPR's favour there. QPR struggle to finish a game with 11 players on the pitch so they might find it a bit difficult even against a Man Citeh side with nothing to play for. True mate. But I just think if Man City have nothing to play for on the last day and QPR could survive by getting a result then they might actually beat them. Just my theory on it mind.

VillaChris Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 City are still incredibly strong at Eastlands let's not forget, 15 wins in 16 league games this season. And Hughes always has little digs in the press so I get the feeling Mancini would quite enjoy relegating him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Bolton have a good run in compared to those three so I think they'll end up on 36 or 37 points. If we finish lower than Bolton then that's the pits! We won't. I have us finishing on 38 or 39 points. Still nowhere near acceptable. It would be our lowest points tally finish in the premier league era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be our lowest points tally finish in the premier league era. I have already said on here that McLeish is on course for our worst Premier League points return (previously 42 points under O'Leary) so based on that he has to be sacked if he succeeds in doing so. If this happens then we are worse off than we were 6 seasons ago in the last stages of the Ellis/O'Leary era and this is totally unacceptable and cannot in any way be considered anything other than a failure and regression.

VillaChris Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 Agreed. It should be a sackable offence if McLeish can't even reach 40 points in a season or indeed the 39 he got relegated on last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darthsimo Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 35 is all the max the bottom 3 we have! end of. We win tomorrow and we are are save, no question. And we will pick up at least 3 more points to take us to 40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

romavillan Posted April 9, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted April 9, 2012 if we win today we could get 42 or 43 points, still a cack total for the season though. lose today and it all starts to look shitty again pretty quick. prob be a draw, and we'll finish the season around 39-40 points. shocking return really. only saving grae will be if we're mathematically safe with 3 games to go and we play all the kids together that have had such great results in the ressies.

theboyangel Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 1 point closer to safety and now 7 points the difference, with 5-6 games to go - can't see three of the bottom five winning 3 games a piece. Hopefully the midweek fixtures will go in our favour too. Looking at the remaining fixtures I can't see many points picked up by any of the teams below us (and us for that matter!!!) Wolves: Arsenal (H) Sunderland (A) Man Citeh (H) Swansea (A) Everton (H) Wigan (A) Wigan: ManUre (H) Arsenal (A) Fulham (A) Newcastle (A) Blackburn (A) Wolves (H) Blackburn: Liverpool (H) Swansea (A) Norwich (H) Tottenham (A) Wigan (H) Chelsea (A) QPR: Swansea (H) West Brom (A) Tottenham (H) Chelsea (A) Stoke (H) Citeh (A) Bolton: Swansea (H) Villa (A) Sunderland (A) Tottenham (H) West Brom (H) Stoke (A) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
switters Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Should be alright, but in a bad scenario (we lose Man Utd and Sunderland, Bolton beat Swansea), Bolton would be coming to Villa 3 points behind us. And QPR & Blackburn both have 3 winnable fixtures. So we could be dragged back into the mix if they all hit form but it's looking unlikely now. Nevertheless our points tally isn't good enough. Struggling to hit 40 pts is a relegation-type performance over the season, whether or not we go down.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 I think we'll stay up, but it won't be pretty. I think we'll draw against 3 of West Brom, Bolton, Sunderland and Norwich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VamosMiAstonVilla Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Not out of it by any means. QPR will be up our arses in now time and Wigan I've got a feeling will get something vs Manure. A lot of people banking on 3 points vs Bolton I don't think that will happen. Their reserve team beat us earlier in the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mockingbird_franklin Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 I can see points for both Blackburn at home to Liverpool, and for QPR at home to Swansea, The Nightmare scenario of both winning could easily happen. I'm not even confident of Manutd beating Wigan away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
