One man's lucky is another man's resolute defending but it's not about today. The same people who say we're going down and this is the worst Vila team for 20/30/138 years are invariably the same ones who describe results against teams who are therefore better than us as lucky.
The post was certainly resolute for us today. But I'm not sure I see the controversy in seeing a poor side ride their luck to a point against a superior team and describing it as such.

I had some mate texting me when we went one down saying he couldnt support us if we went to the championship. I started supporting my beloved team in the old third division and will never stop doing so. Some of us are lucky to have seen massive highs along with the lows. Get a grip though, Lambert has made mistakes, but I have faith in him and hope he proves me right

I think this is the fourth time I've said this:

It's not just about today, it's about every single time we go away and get a decent result. We can never play well, we always have to be lucky.

Outclassed early on, conceded another early goal, but they battled through and got a good point, from what I hear we were the better team in second half. Hopefully some of the injured players will be back for next game, Westwood will be massive loss if he has broken ankle though as twitter rumours suggest

Perhaps, but today isn't the day to be arguing about how lucky we are or aren't.  We're where we are in the table because most of the time we don't play well.  Sometimes we do play well and occasionally win.  Sometimes, like today, we play pretty badly but ride our luck to a point.

It seems a strange thing - out of all the horrors we've seen this season, let alone the last 3 - to get riled about.

Tell him to go pick a Sky 4 team to support... He can always change when a new moneybags comes along....
Mind you he might just have been ranting out of frustration like the rest of us....

I am still waiting to find out who is a viable replacement for our current manager.

Barney Wibble.

A club that has spent as much as we have and that was challenging the top 4 as recently as three seasons ago shouldn't be anywhere near the relegation zone let alone considering what life might be like in the Championship.

No club has a divine right to be at the top

What's wrong with thinking we should be in the PL? I think we've only spent 12 seasons outside of it in our entire history. It's where we belong and we should demand it as well.
