villarule123 Posted September 1, 2012 VT Supporter Share Posted September 1, 2012 A lot of sense being spoken on GSS by Merson (yes I know :shock: ) Highlighted a lot of the things I'm worried about. I'm more worried about relegation this season by last season. Thank god we have a decent manager. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heskeygoalmachine Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Relegation? NEVER GOING TO HAPPEN You cant guarantee it wont happen, never say never! personally i dont think we will go down either but football is a funny old game and the teams around us this season are a lot stronger, if Villa dont pull together as a team and put in 100% week in week out who knows what could happen this season.

sonic_bouma Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Norwich, Southampton, Reading, Wigan and West Brom will all finish below us IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronk-villa Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 32 pages in a relegation thread with 2 games gone in the season? I despair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
islingtonclaret Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 All I can add to this is McLeish couldn't relegate us despite trying his hardest and Lambert has just strengthened the squad a lot. I think we should at least lock this thread until Christmas at the earliest, though I suppose everyone is entitled to their opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dudevillaisnice Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Still very early in the season, anything could happen. having 0 points at the moment doesn't bode well though does it.. still early days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackbauer24 Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 It always amazes me how so many people can look at the same picture and see different things. No-one is 'wrong' and it their right to believe as they do. Me, I fall on the pessimistic side of the fence. But then I only come on here when I want to vent anyway - if things are going well then I'm as happy and carry on with life. If it's depressing then I spout off on VillaTalk rather than at my girlfriend! Same way as you don't talk about your health or money unless there is a problem that needs addressing. And Villa, in my eyes, have a big problem at the moment. We have to be considered Relegation candidates. We've been close two years running and haven't added any proven quality - we've removed some waste and taken gambles on young players. But if desire was all you needed then you could pick 11 guys from VillaTalk and we'd be ok. Our keeper is losing form for whatever reason. Our defence was a shambles but is now unknown. Although I think we're all disappointed Cuellar left and I find it amusing everyone is hoping for a quick return for Dunne when most have been screaming for him to be sold. Our midfield is almost unchanged - Petrov hopefully replaced by El Ahmadi but the rest are very young or injured. The strikeforce is much the same, Bent a hope as long as he gets service and remains fit. Gabby constantly battling injuries and Delf replaced by another untested youngster. Add Benteke and reports range from promising to petulant and clinical to a (rather amusingly read) 'less graceful version of Heskey'! We have a much better manager but we still need players with quality. And every time people say look what he did at Norwich with lower league players all I actually hear is "we're a small club and just happy to be in the Premiership". We are, as it stands, no different than Reading, Swansea and Southampton - except their on a crest of a wave and we're in a two year downward spiral. How we have dropped so quickly is amazing and frankly I don't care how it happened - that's the past. No point wasting time trying to attribute blame. But, as for relegation, I think we have to be considered one of the worst 5 teams in the league and, as such, injuries and luck will play a huge part as to whether we survive this season. Will we be relegated? I don't know. Is it laughable to suggest as much, no way. Relegation is definitely more likely than a top half finish.

Daweii Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Whether we get relegated or not I really don't care.. I am just going to enjoy our time in this league as personally I don't think we'll be in it in 5 years no matter how much we improve. We as a club are being priced out of this league, the average price of a player is between £10-£20 million and that's for average Premier League players. The average wage is now £60k a week.. We can shop abroad but eventually our luck will run out and we will be out of the Premier League because we couldn't keep up with the massive spending that is going on, we won't be the only one suffering this fate either so we aren't alone in being priced out, but I'm just going to enjoy the league while we are in it.

VillaN.I Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 I have a funny feeling we will get something from tomorrows game. Wish I shared your view. Our new left back isn't match fit and our new midfielder, who i don't think has the immediate quality to start, isn't eligible to play. Our midfield is very lightweight and will get bullied as in the Everton game. Only chance we have is to play 4-5-1. Not knocking the new recruits but i would expect them to compete next season, not this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it 6-1 that day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
