tomav84 Posted April 29, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted April 29, 2012 How unbearable would life be if SHA came up and we went down! think thats where the headlines get changed to "McLeish sacked" to "McLeish in police protection" should that occur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaRoy Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 We are safe now I'd say, QPR won't finish above us, not a cats chance in hell they'll get something at Man City. Saying that, we gotta hope City beat United and Newcastle so that they have major incentive to win that game. I hope Stoke manage to pull of a win at QPR so we don't have to worry against Norwich on the final day of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
endof Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Can't see anything other than us getting beat by Spurs. Think it will still come down to the last day and we will need a point against Norwich to be safe. Let's hope they are all 'on the beach' by then. Why would you think we need a point to be safe ? you really think QPR will get 4 points in the last 2 games ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CI Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Any chance we can change the title thread to "Staying Up" ....rather then "Relegation" please?!! steady, lets not count our chickens just yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pacbuddies Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 I don't think we will get anything from Spurs, I can see Bolton drawing with Spurs and beating Albion, I can see QPR beating Stoke and I can see Blackburn drawing with Wigan so I think it will go right down to the last game with the league table standing like this after 37 games: 15th Wigan - 38 pts 16th Bolton - 38 pts 17th Villa - 37 pts 18th QPR - 37 pts 19th Blackburn - already relegated 20th Wolves - already relegated This will leave us looking over our shoulders and listening/watching results from elsewhere. I do hope I am wrong though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YLN Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 If QPR beat Stoke and Villa lose to Spurs - The worst case scenario, but quite likely - QPR will have to better our result against Norwich against Man City. They draw with City, we lose to Norwich, we're down. Not likely, but not impossible either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeteStan Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 We are not going down. If Blackburn and QPR lose today we are all but safe. Blackburn would then be unable to overhaul us given our advantage in goal difference and QPR would have to beat Stoke at home and get something from the Etihad on the last day of the season. And that's without even considering Bolton and Wigan. One thing that won't happen, even if we don't gain another point, is that we lose our two remaining games so heavily as to erode our key goal difference advantage over the others. No we are not going down! So that's it then. Now we can relax. Play expansive football, win both our remaining matches? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Folks don't forget Mancini and Hughes despise each other... Remember last season when Mark Hughes slapped Mancni's hand when he offered it to shake. I'm convinced Mancini would love to send Mark Hughes down so think City will be suitably motivated on the last day of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thunderholt Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 How unbearable would life be if SHA came up and we went down! I was chatting with a knuckle dragger about this senario yesterday, much to his delight. I asked him this question... "say the above wasn't possible & you had a straight choice between villa going down & blues staying down or villa staying up & blues coming up, what would you prefer" he said he would rather the villa went down & blues stayed down just so he could take the piss big style. I said "so you would put villa's decline before your own clubs success?" to which he replied "yes". typical noser more interested in us than his own club. he asked me what my answer would be if roles were reversed, i said "villa promoted to the prem & blues to stay up in the prem of course", "why" he said confused. "because i don't care about your shitty team i just want my club to to well, isn't that what every football fan wants"... er he had no reply to that...

Why would you think we need a point to be safe ? you really think QPR will get 4 points in the last 2 games ? I would like to think not, but I think it is not beyond the realms of possibility that they could beat Stoke and draw with Man City (who may have lost the title by then and have little to play for).

Let's wait until it is mathematically impossible for us to go down before we get too relaxed. Mark Hughes would love nothing better than to go to his old club Man City (who shit on him) and get the result he needs to keep QPR up especially if Man City are out of the title race come 13th May.
