Title: Points versus this time last year
Post by: greenwichvilla on October 09, 2012, 10:13:11 PM: Hi all,

I was wondering if someone could perhaps help me. I'm writing an article and was just wondering if anyone could tell me the amount of points we had after six games last season?

I've had a look and can't find it anywhere.

Thanks in advance, and apologies for being a cheeky bugger ;)

Should be 'number', not 'amount'. Oops, sorry; wrong thread!

Just replace Southampton with Norwich and West Ham with Swansea as the pairs were promoted from second place and playoffs respectively.

It should be clear to anyone that the results so far aren't good enough but the performances are good enough to suggest we just need to hit a 'tipping point' after which we'll be fine. The sooner that comes the better.

Post by: silhillvilla on October 10, 2012, 09:25:15 AM: We had 11 points after 7 games and were unbeaten.
We were also about 30 seconds away from beating QPR away.

I'd just got to the top of the steps leading into the stand when Dunne bundled in their equaliser. I snorted "typical fucking Villa" at the top of my voice and stalked off out the ground with my now long suffering son in tow.

I have this image of your son walking behind you, his head drops as he realises he isnt going to be going back to enjoy the game, he sighs and trudges off behind you listening to you curse the Villa all the way home.

I have this vision because its the way I act as well :D
