Some utter tw@t has just rang 606 on 5 live as a Villa fan to talk about Rooney!!  The presenter said "I'd have thought you'd be more concerned with events at Goodison rather than Wayne Rooney", the "Villa fan" responded "well a points a point but anyway, I wanna talk about Rooney.  WTF?

Sounds like the Father and son who used to sit next to me in the Upper Trinity.
Always left 15-20 minutes early and never shut up talking about Rooney, Lampard and Gerrard.

I'm pretty certain the Olbiyun, B-lose and so on can't maintain any run of form, if that's a consolation.

Wolves have (hopefully) had their little dart and now they've reverted to type, ditto West Ham.

Yes one, possibly two of that lot -or Blackburn/ Blackpool/ Wigan might put together an unbelievable run - but they won't all do it.

They don't need unbelievable runs, they just need 2 or 3 points more than our run. That's the problem.

To qualify that: If we need to win a minimum of 2 games between now and the end of the season, they need to win 3, possibly 4.  Effectively almost half of their remaining games. Some of those sides only have 6/7 wins on the board all season. To expect them to manage half of that again in their remaining games would be outstanding - for them.

We're well and truly in the shit, I don't think anyone would seriously argue against that. But we have to believe we have enough quality to get the two wins we need facing the likes of Newcastle, Stoke and Wigan at home (Olbiyun, West Ham away) whilst at the same time other sides around us don't turn in the kind of form that would be more in keeping with a side challenging for Europe, or higher. I don't think either of those scenarios are flights of fantasy.

That effort from Beckford on the crossbar that was offside eh? And penalty wasn't one i think..  Guess its ok to get a point eh?

[Rip Van We Go Again]

Sorry, I know it equates to being a traitorous dog on here, but I still think we're down.

[adrenachrome]

You treacherous,  pusillanimous, vile cur.

[Greg N'Ash]

nah. it will be close but we'll survive

[KevinGage]

If we lose to Newcastle Fletch, I might start flirting with the idea myself.

I shouldn't have opened my mouth.
It's akin to wiping my cock on the statue of McGregor.

[KevinGage]

For us to even be facing the scenario this far into the season is little short of disgraceful.

Thing is Kevin, Newcastle only have that galloping donkey Ameobi as their only recognised striker (I won't count Loverpants) yet they still managed to put 3 past Wolves, the team that beat us with ease.

Maybe we should paraphrase that old song

'If Dunne and Collins can play for Villa, so can I.'

[Risso]

I'd probably have taken a point before the game, but another two goals conceded, deary me.  I think we'll probably just about be OK as there are three other teams worse than us, but it's going to be squeaky bum time  all the way to the last game I reckon.

[Legion]

They won 4-1.

[Greg N'Ash]

wolves was more to do with what was going on off the pitch than on it. we would have lost to a conference side that day.

[Rip Van We Go Again]

They won 4-1.

Crikey, yes.
It's going to be very, very tough.
Another team that are better than us.

Please, please, please Le smirky twat, get Cuellar back in.
