Watford have won more Premier League points (29) in calendar year 2015 than Aston Villa (25). Watford only joined in August.

Yep 11 (eleven), 1 win all season. Ouch.
That's a quality Stat. So villa second half of last season were woeful too

Stayed up by the skin of their teeth last season, then lost their three best players in the summer (Benteke, Delph and Cleverley) without replacing any of them. Writing was on the wall before a ball was kicked this season.

Yep, struggled for at least the last 3 seasons under McLeish and Lambert. Getting rid of your best 3 players and replacing with a bunch of unproven Frenchman looks to have been a masterstroke !! Not going to make Lerner's chance of selling the club any easier either

They look like the worst team in the Prem by some margin. Decent keeper, decent defenders, creativity in midfield, pace, goals - you name it, they don't have it.

Two clubs owned by Americans who I would love to see relegated, if only to reduce the American control growing in this division.

I genuinely can't stand Villa or their fans - in fact they're one of the three teams I genuinely loath. I hope they get relegated, then relegated again, and again, and again...

I went to university up in Warwick and frequented most of the Midlands clubs on a regular basis. Their fans were the worst fans I've ever come across. They had a sense of entitlement that I'd expect from Man Utd fans (who are the other club alongside Villa and Palace that I don't like), yet their stadium on each occasion was the quietest I've ever been to - no singing, no cheering, no nothing, except for swearing and shouting abuse at their own players. Their team was dour at the time (and is now) and they just feel like a non-entity of a football club. Basically, I just couldn't find a positive.
For all of my dislike of Palace, at least their fans sing.

11 - It's when you see that Villa need 1 win and a draw to pass it you realise quite what a spectacular record it is.

Leicester has just two points more at pretty much the same stage of the season last time round:

I'm not sure what relevance this it, just to say that, well, would you back Aston Villa to be top of the Premier League at Christmas 2016?

Villa are down because their business minded chairman who only came in for the TV money will not back them in the transfer window. Suppose that is what you get if you sell your soul
