Should I visit the in-laws

At Christmas I had a run in with the in-laws. FiL was there, and before we visited, I minded him not to mention the Villa. Unfortunately, while we were there, my wife spluttered the word Villa, and that they are making a serious challenge for the championship. All hell broke loose, and we were lucky to get any food.
Now, this afternoon, I have hardly kept a straight face watching to, and Chelsea giving them a serious trouncing. It seems they are only in the league by a finger nail. Although I am not known to gloat, if I visit before they are doomed, I will be hard pushed not to gloat in front of SiL and BiL. Their children are too young to realise, that Villa were once Champions of Europe.
Do I go, before they are doomed, or do I wait until it is certain, knowing that I will gloat regardless!

They are doomed anyway, even before today's 0-4 to Chelsea, so you may as well go, there will be lot's of jokes flying around from all sources.0

People need to ask relationship questions about football (or any sport, for that matter)?

As a supporter of the toon, I say stay away and if you do go, do not gloat. I feel their pain
