The pressue is on Wigan to get a result,ok,we are not mathematically safe yet but it would take a perverse run of results from a number of teams to put us down,which is highly unlikely. Wigan do at least try and play football which Juan Pablo rightly says,will suit us.We will hit them more than once on the break as they will have no option but to come forward,especially if we get an early goal. With a healthy win we can at least all breath a sigh of relief and put a wretched season to bed. The one shining light has been the signing of Darren Bent who I predict will become a Villa legend.

Sadly, I'll take the point on saturday that virtually guarantees safety.
Then on monday I'd like to see The Board make a decision one way or the other on Houllier's suitability to manage the club or not next season, and take appropriate action if necessary so we have a fit man at the helm come June..


You just know the "Houllier Issue" will drag on for weeks, well into the summer and leave us weeks behind everybody else in preperation for the new season leading to a repeat of this season.

The board have said that they have to take some of the responsibility for this season, on that basis I don't think they will allow it to rumble on and have the same again happen next season.

Especially now the season ticket prices have gone up they can't afford empty seats next season
