SEJAUH ini pendukung Aston Villa merasakannya saat ini, 'kebenaran' ramalan suku Maya terbukti. Ini adalah akhir dari dunia.
Kebobolan 8-0 gol di Chelsea telah menghancurkan suasana hati bos Paul Lambert menghadapi pekerjaan membangun kembali peluang pekan ini untuk menyambut kedatangan Tottenham pada Boxing Day.
Praktisnya, selisih gol Villa memberi catatan dramatis - yang terburuk di Barclays Premier League sementara posisi mereka hanya tiga poin di atas zona degradasi.
Namun pertandingan di Stamford Bridge menyusul catatan enam pertandingan tak terkalahkan dan klub berada di semi-final Capital One Cup di mana mereka akan menghadapi Bradford.
Kekalahan besar itu membuat Villa tersudut? Belum tentu, meskipun tanda-tandanya tidak banyak peluang dari laga hadapi Spurs.
Sejak Liga Premier digelar ada 11 rekor gawang kebobolan tujuh gol atau lebih, tidak termasuk Minggu (23/12).
Selama waktu itu, hanya satu tim yang pulih untuk memenangkan pertandingan mereka berikutnya dan itu Wigan, yang kalah 9-1 dari Spurs kemudian Wigan mengalahkan Sunderland 1-0 di kandang sendiri pada 2009.
Namun kabar baik bagi Villa bahwa hanya empat dari 11 pecundang yang kemudian akan terdegradasi. Berikut ini catatannya ...

AS FAR as Aston Villa fans feel today, the Mayans got it right. It is the end of the world.
The 8-0 thrashing at Chelsea has smashed the feel-good mood to smithereens with boss Paul Lambert facing a major rebuilding job this week for the arrival of Tottenham on Boxing Day.
In practical terms, Villa’s goal difference has taken a dramatic hit – it’s the worst in the Barclays Premier League while they are only three points above the relegation zone.
But the game at Stamford Bridge followed a six-match unbeaten run and the club are in the semi-final of the Capital One Cup where they face Bradford.
So can a big beating be terminal? Not necessarily, although the signs are not promising for the Spurs game.
Since the Premier League started there have been 11 thumpings of seven or more goals, not including Sunday.
During that time, only one team recovered to win their next match and that was Wigan, who lost 9-1 to Spurs then beat Sunderland 1-0 at home in 2009.
But the good news for Villa is that only four of the 11 losers went on to be relegated that season. Here's the bounceback index...
Manchester United 9 Ipswich 0, March 1995
