no chance unless the teams below us keep losing,does pl relise the reason these players were in a lower division is they are not good enough for the prem.

Well i dont fancy the teams below us picking up much in January and as long as we beat southampton be okay!!


QPR next few games are Liverppol which I think they lose  Chelsea which I think they lose and Spurs which I think they lose. West Ham at Home maybe something then man city home nothing there.

Reading
Spurs away lose
West brom home lose
Newcastle away lose
Chelsea home lose

Southampton
Arsenal lose
Chelsea lose

Everton lose
Man Utd lose

I fancy ten points and a semi-final with the 4th round booked.

A shock win against Swansea, a good win againat Southampton and the Albion with a frustrating draw against Newcastle.

Three points from our two games in February, leaving us with on trophy and three more wins to find.

Fucking c'mon you Villa boys!

QPR and Reading are down imo.

Southampton aren't, are playing well and have a goal threat in Lambert.

I think it will be the usual of 35-36 teams the 3rd team would go down on.

What is a big problem this time is our pathetic goal difference and that's not really going to change for the better.

Last season it really saved us as we went into the last game 3 points clear of Bolton but had about a 12 goals better difference. Boot on the other foot this season really.

The reason why those players were in a lower division is that they are relatively at the start of their careers.  We have tried to pick them up early and develop them.  It may come as a surprise but not all young players start with PL clubs.  In fact, the opposite is true.

Of the remaining 18 games we have:
Southampton (H), QPR (H), Reading (A), Fulham (H), S'Land (H), Newcastle (H) Wigan (A).

Those are the teams who are / may be in a relegation fight with us. West Ham & Norwich maybe?  They are the 'must win' games IMO but as we have been stuffed already by S'hampton ans Wigan and limped to a win over Reading it ain't going to be easy!!

I think 40 points will be difficult to get...................

I reckon 35 points will be enough this year maybe even less, I mean QPR and reading wont hit 30
So it could end up being really low

Not that I think we should be taking the risk, just saying

Having gone through our remaining fixtures I am now much more hopeful.

I actually think we ought to be aiming for six wins from: Southampton (h) Newcastle (h) West Ham (h) Fulham (h) Sunderland (h) QPR (h) Reading (a) Norwich (a) Wigan (a).

Surely we can bank on a few draws too from:  WBA (a) Swansea (a) Stoke (a) Liverpool (h).

It is doable but we have to start getting the points on the board now. I don't fancy going to Wigan on the last day of the season needing a win to stay up.

We do have some easy home games left.

Easy if you'd have looked at them after the Liverpool game, anyway.

We can definitely stay up. I'm not even that worried. 37/38 points will be enough.

Get some experience players baclm(vlaar,gabby,Bent etc) and sign a couple of quality players in January and I think we will just about stay up,if not then we are in big trouble,but I won't give up until its certain.

People are saying QPR may do something if Harry sorts it out, and at the same time suggesting that us getting five wins is unachievable. Well if it's unachiveable for us, QPR have to get 8 wins nearly half their remaining games. Newcastle could be the suprise team at the bottom, dropping like a stone and losing their goal scorer. People should have faith, it's only a couple of weeks since we were on a six match unbeaten run.

QPR don't matter imo.

Southampton very much do.
