    Looking at the battle to stay in the PL this season it looks to be a simple choice of 3 from 5. But with news that Darren Bent is Now out for the season through injury and with Robbie Keane having returned to the MLS and LA Galaxy, imo,, they have the same problem as Hull City. A Lack of goals. They have a tough run in So will they become the shock of the season and get relegated...?? :emoticon-0116-evilg They are only 8 points off Blackburn now and play there saturday 3rd march. Lose and its down to 5pts. <wah>

    They're not having a good week, they've just announced they lost £53.9m last year.

    I'd be looking at out of contract strikers if I was them, I've no idea who's available but they've only got Gabby and Heskey and some young kid now(very poor planning).

    Gabby and Heskey are still good enough to keep them away from the drop. I don't think they'll get relegated but I'd love it if they did!

    What a name for Alex Mcleish would have in Birmingham, relegating 2 team different teams in consecutive seasons.

    No really feelings pro or negative about Villa.

    But I do get a perverse pleasure from seeing big clubs screw up & fall.

    I reckon they'll be alright due to the immense ****ness of the other 5. But let's hope I'm wrong.

    Send 'em down!

    Never really rated McLeish as a good manager, so I think that they are certainly in the danger zone.

    Not good as you say. I wonder if they will recall Delfounso from Lesta ? Now that would be a shame for NP ? :emoticon-0116-evilg

    Villa were poor at Wigan last saturday and Wigan are poor full stop. But imo If Villa lose @ Blackburn saturday the panic button will be well and truely pressed. What price a Wolves and Villa two-some for the drop ? Leaving just WBA in the PL ?

    I'll be surprised if they don't, unless they can find a free agent, they've got no cover.

    Alex Mcleish teams never score enough goals as it is, so losing Bent is a major worry for them. I'm pretty sure they'll recall Delfouseno if they haven't already.

    A decent punt, Villa available at 16/1 to be relegated on oddschecker
