Think how much lighter the atmosphere will be if we pull off a miracle and pinch three points at the Tescobags this weekend.

I know we are rubbish and I wouldn't fancy us against a lot of Championship let alone Premiership teams at the moment, but I can't quite understand why everyone is talking up the Albion so much.  They've picked up some decent results lately (though they got battered at Anfield and somehow managed to win), but it will hardly be a "miracle" if we win there.

It won't be far off considering the current malaise we're in. It'll be a tough game and I wish I could make it down there.

If they are going to sack him would make sense to do it straight after albion. would give kmac a week with the players and would build the atmosphere for the last home game. spurs play Sunday and next wed as well so will be tired and is therefore prob best chance of 3 points

Hear Hear. I fully agree. Time to galvanise. Survival is now at stake. It does not matter who is in the dug-out, Aston Villa are on the pitch.

Thankyou.

We've been waiting for the players to give us something to sing about. We need to give them something to play for.

Hmm. how about 30 odd thousand standing in the rain, singing for the team on a wet tuesday night all knowing there is no chance of seeing anything close to decent football but still turning up and paying 25-30quid for the priveledge. Dont believe the hype, they have something to play for and untill the 86th minute we were completely behind them.

Because I'm mental, I've already bought my ticket to the Spurs game. Hopefully I won't be sat next to a miseryarse again.

Solidarity in the face of adversity.
It will be quite an acheivment to avoid a miseryarse if we lose on Satyrday. Hopefully a derby will perk us up and relieve some pressure by then

I never thought a win at West Brom would be considered a miracle. Christ.

villa were ok against sunderland we just dont create enough chances but, we matched sunderland for effort
against bolton it should have been over at half time  it was like the alamo
so based on the positives from those two games  i think we will get  the 2 points i think we need.
but if we do stay up ,,we will drop next year without a doubt because staying up we be deemed a success by the owners which means the current manager may end up staying   if staying up means keeping  mcliesh i would rather us drop, regroup win promotion and consign the whole experience to the back of the history book like man city and newcastle have done 
the writing has been on the wall now for two years so we should not be surprised we are in this predicament
villa have been mismanaged from the top down and now we may well have to pay the price

Yep and I've just seen Richard Dunne on SSN saying how the fans aren't helping when the young players get booed.... In my experiences the fans have been very supportive of the team, it's the manager that's getting stick. To be honest McLeish has got off lightly and I'm amazed it's taken this long for things to come to a head.

I'm also going up to the Spurs game, after last night's result it's a must win game and I simply have to be there.

I hate this misconception that the youngsters are getting booed, they got great backing from the crowd last night even when we went 2-1 down, I think everybody appreciates the effort their putting in. Theres only one person who was getting stick last night, it must be obvious to everyone who it was and he wasnt on the pitch. When players follow their managers lead and come out with this rubbish it can do nothing but knock the kids confidence, its so frustrating because its doing more harm than good and its all bollocks. Some people cant help but twist the truth to suit themselves ,either that or their very misguided, or perhaps just plain thick.

Dunne isn`t the sharpest pencil in the box though is he? The kids are giving their all and are in the main being supported by the fans - on the other hand the experienced players are deserving of some flak - and that includes the likes of Warnock (who I thought played well last night, as did Heskey), N`Zogbia, Hutton and even Given.

To concede some 30 seconds after going one up is totally amateurish and deserves crticism no matter how experienced the players are.,

I'm going to this -with my son - it's his 14th Birthday. I just hope it a descent game and a good atmosphere.

However I feel it will be tense and will be interesting to see the after game parade by the players +/- manager!
