So last week, we were sure that all would be well, we'd definitely be clear of relegation, Benteke was going to get snapped up by Real Madrid and we were delighted with Lambert's ethos of bringing in young, talented players.We get smashed at the league champions and suddenly....We're shit, everyone knows it,we're definitely getting relegated...This run of games was always going to be incredibly tough but once past Arsenal, we will start to see where we're really at. The Man U game for me really showed we have the quality there to go up this table with a few wins on the trot, we were never going to get these against the top 2.I don't even mind people thinking we'll go down, it's just this endless swinging from one extreme to the other.We'll be fine lads, keep your heads screwed on

The old cliche about the season being a marathon not a sprint is an apt one. I mean, under DOL of all people we were 18th at Christmas and 6th by May.
Rubbish, on Boxing Day 2003 we were 12th.

I'm sick of the same posters who keep saying the football is worse.. you know who you are! you never say anything positive. Lambert and the lads need support not sniping. Some of you seem to spend 24 hours on a keyboard 'supporting' . Yeah things don't look good from a far but most can see we play better football at least.

Maybe QPR will spunk 20 mill in jan and finally click, or change manager and have a good run. Unlikely but you never know. Right now I don't see where we're gonna pull 30 points from in the remaining games. I really don't. The problem is that the teams below us do not need to go on a run. They just need to accrue a couple more points than us over 25 games. For at least two of them that is not unlikely.

Some Villa fans are insufferable cry babies when the chips are down. Did the season finish yesterday? Have Villa been relegated? Do we just throw the towel in now?Mayday! Mayday!
