Villa are 4 to back to go down
Wigan are 2.64
Wigan are 3 points behind, have 2 games in hand, a better goal difference and they play Villa at home on the final day
ok, so they have the FA Cup Final but surely staying in the Prem is more important
surely Wigan and Villa should be much closer in the betting? 9/4 each?
makes Villa look value, they might need to beat Wigan away to stay up
what say you?

fair assessment imo judorick.
|
|
By:
Partly agree, although Villa's league form has hugely improved
|
|
By:
Stoke down anyway IMO
|
|
By:
till they play Villa they don't seem to have a game you would have them favourite too win
very hard draw i think - maybe they would take an FA Cup win over staying up and that continued tedium (the tedium being being in a relegation battle each year) |
|
By:
yes but they only have to match what Villa do to end up with 2 games plus home to villa to make up 3 points
no way they should be less than half the price |
|
By:
and whilst my comment might seem strange consider this
it's 2028 The History Of Wigan reads of their moment of glory in 2013 this team from a Rugby League town winning the FA Cup no one will remember if in 2014 they were in the premier league or the championship (so long as they do get back up again) |

That last game prediction rather makes the difference, lol

By:
so villa get 7 points from 5 games and wigan 5 points from 7?
foysc |
|
By:
Just lump on Stoke.
Some clown on here baited me to get on and I did @28/1. Sometimes it pays to listen to the mugs. |
|
By:
wigan have to to hope villa slip up and they can stay within 3 pts of them before the last game
or stoke dont get another point |

Can't see Stoke going tbh Nilsson - on a shocking run but have QPR (a), Norwich (h), Sunderland (a), Spurs (h) and Saints (a) - should beat a woeful QPR and that'll be them as good as safe.
|
|
By:
woeful qpr at loftus road, with last chance desperation - very tough game.
|

All these relegation threads and no one seems to mention Norwich. I think they can get the points they need to survive but relegation price over the past few weeks has, in my opinion, built in a win this Saturday against Reading. If they don't win that, what price then?
Other games remaining are Stoke, ASTON VILLA, WEST BROM and Man City. |
|
By:
norwich p[riced is based on them to beat reading ,if they don't i'd expect it to be around 2.5 to 3 ... shorter than Vanillas price -or it certainly will be
|
|
By:
All the prices seem to be based on current points. Doesn't take form into account which is why Stoke was, is, and will continue to be the value pick.
|
|
By:
surprised Stoke don't sack their manager - like Sunderland and unlike QPR and Reading it's not too late to save their season
|
|
By:
It's their god Pullis though isn't it?

Price updates currently to back:
Wigan: 1.73 Villa: 3.4 What price if Villa get humped tonight at old trafford? |
|
By:
Last game is Wigan v Villa, with the current gap between them could that still be crucial.
|
|
By:
odds are normally based on current points mrfish at the lower end primarily becasue its harder for bottom sides to put points on the board - better to have them
opposite at the top - better to have the games in hand |
|
By:
yes,wigan v villa will be crucial - my theory is that wigan will need to win that to stay up
the game at vanilla park ended 0-3 |
|
By:
You think Villa overpriced at moment?
|
|
By:
been annoying to see all the other sides find wins out the blue just above them
was hoping might be 5-6 sides involved |
|
By:
Wigan play 2 mid table teams which must give them a good chance of stopping up. However, the tactics of the manager are unfathomable.
|
|
By:
In what way exactly Tcat?
|
|
By:
Lots of possession in most games, not many attempts on goal. Look at the stats on saturday. West Ham had as many shots but only a third of the ball.

By:
Yeh, guess so - was similar in QPR match too
|
|
By:
vs 10 men there though
|

By:
The free kick 30 yards out at Newcastle earlier in the season sums things up. Losing the game, but no shot at goal or even a cross in. Ends up back with the Latics goalie.

By:
Is this Martinez instructions you reckon (not just player nerves)?
|
|
By:
Martinez is a good coach of football skills but not sure of his tactical grasp in English football. However, as he's played here long enough I just dont know.
|
|
By:
Just had another 350 on Wigan to go down , i just can't see where Wigan's points are coming from , but i would gladly lose the bet and see them stay up!!!
|
|
By:
wouldnt shock me if they beat spurs saturday
|
|
By:
Well, I got the 0-3 for villa right. Expected Wigan to have taken a point at least from their last 2 but they haven't. Spurs still fighting for CL next season, West Brom are solid at home, Arsenal will still be in CL contention also. The way Sunderland are playing I actually expect them to turn us over at the weekend but Wigan still need to outscore us by 3 which could be the last game. Quietly confident we'll be ok, we're playing much better than they are and without their jammy last minute winner against Newcastle and equaliser against QPR they'd be 6 behind us now. Luck is not going to go their way for the 7th season running.

 Do think we're overpriced at 33/1 to go down now, lose to Chelsea, Wigan WILL beat Swansea and we're back in the mix. If Wigan don't beat Swansea they then need to beat Arsenal away.. |
|
By:
I dont know the result but Wigan are going to give us a tough game at the Emitrates. I can guarantee you that. Very mixed feelings as an Arsenal fan if we send Wigan down. Think they are becoming my second favourite team now.
