We can say that because we are bottom (and almost certainly would go down) but....

....let's say we are Villa fans. Are you going to accept relegation if you are in the bottom 3 but have a game in hand? Like hell you are.

So Villa's big bad lawyers will argue (and they have a point) that Villa could well stay up - 6 of their last 10 are at home. Fact is the Premiership can't unilaterally or fairly relegate them in my view. So the season must continue behind closed doors and we still do have a chance of survival (ok a v small one).
