I've come to the conclusion at corners we should fill the box, then when the taker puts his arm up, we should all run back to the kick off positions, then the taker just taps it out for a goal kick. Well that will startle the other team and at least we wont be caught out on the break, cause sure as shit we wont score from one

The stats look horrendous.

We've got 6 points from our last 8 games.  We've won 2 of our last 11 games.  Gabby hasn't scored in 15 matches.

How depressing.
Lies, damn lies and statistics. I hope

If anyone seriously believes we are going down can I suggest they go to a betting shop or bet online immediately as they will make a killing.

Not quite.  The best odds you'll find on us going down is 14-1 now.  We were 40-1 before the Arsenal game.

I hope McLeish didn't see that, we'll see that next week

We'll get nil points from the next three and with the teams below us all winning we'll be right in the shit.  The Bolton game is looking absolutely massive.
Huh?

We're writing off a home match against Stoke now are we? Who lost today to Wigan.

We've beat them once in seven attempts since they came up.  They've beat us twice.  In our current form I can see us losing to them again.
I can see us losing.

I can also see us winning. Utterly cowardly to write off a game like Stoke at home.

We need to get rid of Mcleish and put KMac and Sid in charge til the end of the season They know the kids, who we are now relying and this will at least give us a chance of staying up and it will give the team a boost

Well done to those kids today They did us proud

Too late to make the change now , we have to hope we somehow pick up wins at home to bolton, stoke and sunderland or at least get 6 points from somewhere- depressing times indeed and lerner should hang his head in shame at the shambles he presides over!

Nice to see stan there today and the warmth between him and the fans, the 19 th minute was a fitting tribute.

Can we please leave Heskey alone today?

He had absolutely nothing to do with us losing this football match.

Cowardly?!  So being a mod makes it acceptable for you to be offensive?

I don't think we'll get a single point from our next three games.  It's my opinion.  This is a forum for opinions.  I thought a mod would appreciate that.

Agreed, we didn't have many options today and he did what he had to do

A win or a couple of draws from the next three should see us OK.


From where though? Which team can we actually beat..?

I'd fancy us to get something from Stoke, and half decent chance of getting something at Anfield.

We've still got the Bolton game to fall back on too. Sunderland is going to be difficult.

But we're on 33 now. 38 should be enough. Even if we lost all of those we'd have Baggies away and Spurs and Norwich at home to try and stay up.

The fact Heskey was our only option goes some way to explaining why we are fucked.

Cowardly. Offensive? Bit sensitive if that bothers you.

Villa were plucky enough to take the game to Yelsea, and get back level pegging as they start to really wobble.

Pictures of Di Matteo showed him looking dumbfounded. He must have been worried as he'd used all his subs so can't change anything, and given their recent poor away record thought his team might possibly lose the game. He then desperately looks around and sees Heskey emerging from the Villa bench, turned to his own and said 'Don't worry lads, they've just thrown it away.' 

And they did.

Heskey coming on had fuck all to do with anything.


I think remove the words 'coming on' and you would be about right.

On 80 mins we equalised. The only change of personnel by both teams after that was Heskey coming for Villa on 82 mins, when Chelsea were wobbling. They then scored two goals.

You're evident dislike of Heskey is affecting your rationality.
