Interesting if Villa lose on Saturday

[St Eve]

With games away at Spurs and City and all sorts of internal issues they could be in real trouble

[ChesterTheTabby]

If they lose -they are "that" team which year years seems safe and then goes tumbling either into relegation or very darn near. A loss this weekend could very well be a major twist in the last month.

There will probably be many twists and turns, but we need to keep putting in positive performances, and getting points.

[Slaphead in Qatar]

They have been threatening to go down for a few years now. Lack of investment in players - sound familiar?

[Holders]

There will probably be many twists and turns, but we need to keep putting in positive performances, and getting points.

It will be even more interesting if we win on Saturday.

A win on Saturday and we are out of the bottom 3, until Norwich play anyway.
Who would have thought that after the Cardiff defeat?

Cardiff play stoke at home and can easily overtake us, its vitally important we dont lose tomoro to keep the freefall teams like Villa and Swansea in our sight should we get overtaken by Cardiff.
Obviously a win tomorrow and everything is hunky dory but easier said than done.

If Cardiff beat Stoke tomorrow then I can see no reason why we cannot get a result at Stoke.

[Lighthouse]

Well we just have no idea where all this is going. After a few shock results in midweek we will probably come a cropper and Cardiff and Norwich will win. But every week will throw up some shocks and I hope a few of them will be in our favour.

However, two matches ago the season should have been over for us. The fact that we have kept our season alive until now at least, is something to be pleased about.

bringing the thread back to about Villa.....it seems that under O'Neill, where they finished 6th three seasons in a row, they spent a good deal of capital to support O'Neills aims, it paid off for them, and I think they won a cup in that time as well, but since that time, they have under invested and gone to more of a youth movement, my guess is to balance out the spending in the O'Neill years.

They've been in free fall for some time, and while they are on 34 points, I think they will find a way to lose to Southampton as they seem a defeated side.....though their only saving grace I see is Southampton don't have much to play for except league position now.

It remains exceedingly likely that our path is to pass Norwich and hold off Cardiff, and I think six more points stands a very good chance of doing both. Catching anyone else is going to be very difficult given the GD issue.

That said, a point this week would be huge. It opens up a solid path to 37, and even brings 35 into play, which may be enough.
